It’s no secret that Captain Marvel It’s not one of the most beloved films in the MCU. But many hoped that the sequel, Marvels, had good performance. Unfortunately, it appears that this has not been the case for the second week, The film marked a historic drop in attendance for Marvel productions.
According to the variation, Marvels Managing to raise only $10.2 million, the film dropped 79% in attendance His second weekend in the US. Thus, the film managed to cross the record of 69% drop in second week attendance set by the film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania At the beginning of this same year.
so far, Marvels It has grossed over $65 million in the United States since its release, and many are questioning whether the film will be able to cross the $100 million mark in this country before it leaves theaters. By comparison, the feature film managed to cross $161.3 million worldwide, and is expected to make another $100 million before it’s no longer available on the big screen.
However, considering that the film cost $250 million to make, we’re in for one of the biggest failures in Marvel Studios history. Let’s remember that for a movie to be successful and start earning, it needs to raise twice its production cost. In this case, Marvels needs to cross the $500 million dollar mark, which seems impossible.
As with other Marvel movies in recent years, It seems the only important thing about it Marvels This is the post-credits scene and it hints at the future of the MCUSomething that, to be fair, does it well Marvels. However, due to this, the audience is not much interested in the film. Unfortunately, once this information is leaked, people are less willing to pay tickets to see something they’ve already seen on the Internet.
We remind you that Marvels It’s still in theaters. On a related note, this is the first trailer for season two What if?… Likewise, we already know when Thanos will return to the MCU.
Editor’s note:
Marvels It’s not a bad movie, but it suffers from one major sin, which is that it’s boring. Once I left the theater, I barely remembered what I had just finished watching. Outside of the post-credits scenes and the way they hint at the future of the MCU, the film has a few interesting scenes and fun performances, but nothing to make it memorable.
