The Marvels‘ Box Office Disappointment
The Marvels, the highly anticipated sequel toCaptain Marvel, has been a box office disappointment, grossing a mere $47 million in its opening weekend. This is the lowest opening weekend for any Marvel Cinematic Universe film, and it is far below the expectations of Disney and Marvel Studios.
There are a number of factors that may have contributed toThe Marvels‘ poor performance at the box office. One possibility is that superhero fatigue is finally catching up with the MCU. After over a decade of interconnected superhero films, some audiences may simply be burnt out.
Brie Larson’s portrayal of Captain Marvel in her 2019 solo film was met with a mixed reception from fans. Some praised her performance, while others found her character to be overly assertive and unlikable.
The film’s disappointing box office performance is a sign that the MCU is not immune to failure. The studio will need to take a careful look at what went wrong withThe Marvels.
