The Marvels is anything but marvelous so far at the box office.
Based on Friday earnings of $21.5 million, the Marvel Studios and Disney superhero tentpole is headed for a domestic opening of $47 million to $52 million to rank as the worst start in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Marvels marks a new low for Kevin Feige‘s Marvel Studios, which for years was unrivaled in its success, and bolsters the theory that superhero fatigue is a real thing as fanboys grow weary of a glut of titles and are far less forgiving.
Until now, rival DC was the superhero studio that endured the biggest ups and downs, with a good number of its films opening to $50 million or less (in comparison, many MCU releases started with $100 million or more domestically). This summer, DC’s The Flash debuted to a dismal $55 million domestically on its way to topping out at a paltry $270.6 million globally.

ok, so what perversion does it contain...
Used to buy comic books for a dime.
I’ve been seeing the commercial for this movie on Prime and other streaming services...maybe even YouTube(?). The heroine looked very blah. Wrap that in with the wokeism and Marvel Superhero overkill...I have no interest in seeing this movie.
Hopefully, now that the Kung Flu is over and people need to get their asses back to work, they’ve outgrown comic books and stupid hero movies like Skip the Black Panther and Barbie the Pink Cougar.
Hard pass. I wouldn’t even use a torrent for it.
I will never understand why adults are wanting to see superhero movies based on comic books (unless they are accompanying their children).
Not trying to make myself sound superior here but I have zero interest in Batman, Superman, Spiderman, etc.
I used to like some of the Marvel movies, I liked Robert Downey Jr as the Ironman.
But it's time for Marvel to take a break. Their $#it is old. We need something fresh.
Thankfully the “SAG” strike looks like its over. 😂😂😂. Can’t say I even missed them.
🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
These were comic book stories transferred into cartoons. All the CGI in the world won’t change that.
Create good stories, make a quality film with talented actors, and people will likely go.
That’s where the recent Marvel movies fail. Ther’s no likeability for either the story/plot, the actors, or the woke crap put into the movie that serves no purpose.
The last Disney movie I really enjoyed, was “Togo”. A relatively simple story, that harkened back to the days when Disney could tell stories.
My ex is nuts about the MCU movies, has seen every one and many of them multiple times. I don't get it.
Now they are using Hollowoody airheads to play cartoon characters.

Gosh, math is hard! When I add the numbers I come up with a range of $107 million (47+60) to $112 million (52+60). Get that writer a job as a government economist!
There were a few superhero movies I liked, namely the two Guillermo Del Toro “Hellboy” movies, “V for vendetta” and the Sam Raimi “Spider-Man” trilogy.
I love marvel, but not the Disney M she U.
I have enjoyed several of them (others have been like watching paint dry). Sometimes I like movies for pure escapism, though I admit I have only seen them in theaters with my kids or grandkids. Mostly I have watched them on TV late at night when I can't sleep or while I am reading something else.
Batman is the ultimate vigilante and speaks to the part of us that crave order and justice.
Tony Stark was the ultimate Geek on Steriods and a lot of fun to watch.
Thor and Captain America were eye candy and comedic relief. Hawkeye was a Sigma and quiet/cool.
Let’s be honest here; most people went to see these films for escapism. Epic good versus evil battles. Fantasy, some laughs, and eye candy.
If the actors are just average looking, no eye candy value. Guys are not interested in seeing average looking actresses (unless she is Francis McDormand in Fargo). Women want hot guys, too.
My family saw the entire MCU run. My husband tolerated it.
But once Endgame was released, we were done. I have no interest whatsoever in the latest crop of characters and won’t waste my money on woke trash.
