The Marvel Cinematic Universe may have started strong in the entertainment industry, but currently, it seems to be standing on nothing less than the verge of a disaster. Thus, in order to save the franchise, they are willing to do anything and everything, andThe Marvelsseems to be one major step of that.
As per recent reports, Brie Larson’s upcoming sequel to her blockbusterCaptain Marvelis expected to gross at least $140 million during its box office opening weekend globally. Although considerably less as compared to other films from the MCU, this movie might still be able to surpass the entire box office run of two films from the DCU under James Gunn.

The reason behind these low scores is cited to be the never-ending actor’s strike that is currently raging on as well as‘Disney’s hands being tied when it comes to fully screaming this movie to the sky’, asDeadlineputs it, however, a major part behind such low scores are the uninterested fans throwing all of their hate on the movie.
Although this is lower than two other films from the franchise–Eternals– $160 million, andBlack Widow– $148 million–it could still be able to surpass the entire box office run of two films from the DCU underJames Gunn:Blue BeetleandShazam! Fury of the Gods.
As per the recorded numbers, both of the above-mentioned DC films, which were released earlier this year, had performed terribly at the box office throughout their entire run. WhileBlue Beetlestands at $129 million worldwide on a production budget of $104 million,Shazam 2went even lower as it grossed $133.8 million at the global box office against its budget of $125 million.
Judging from the numbers, Brie Larson’sThe Marvelsjust might do wonders by exceeding everyone’s expectations of it and grossing more than these two box-office bombs.

That last trailer boost the numbers up a little. I feel like it has the potential to do a little better than eternals.

Considering the actors strike, I’d say this makes sense. Still unfortunate and I hope it does better than expected but the actors strike is really hurting movies lately

That’s a shame. If the movie is fun then that’s all that matters.

In comparison, “GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY” ($98M) and “WINTER SOLDIER” ($95M)

Considering the optimism of this other side of Marvel fans makes it seem thatThe Marvelscould actually end up doing much better than what is expected of it. But this hope can only be confirmed once the movie finally makes its debut at the worldwide box office.
That being said,The Marvelsis all set to hit the theatres on the 10th of November, 2023.
