    Deadline...

     

    Marvels - $47-55M OW / $21-22M Total Friday

     

    https://deadline.com/2023/11/box-office-the-marvels-1235599363/

     

    FNAF will take 2nd - $2.6M Fri / $7.8M weekend

     

    I was never a huge MCU fan(and even had plenty to say on its negative impact on the industry as a whole imo) but I could appreciate the genuine scale of excitement people had for those movies all the way up to Endgame, and yes they were objectively of much higher quality back then.  Admittedly the Endgame trailer was even pretty hype with Thanos' "you could not live with your failure, where that did that bring you..." yadayada for a jaded man like myself.

     

    This movie and OW is just a sad little whimper in comparison.  MCU's fall is much more suprising than Star War's IMO because the quality of the MCU was pretty strong and consistent for a solid decade whereas SW fell off almost immediately after TFA.  I mean Endgame was only 4 years ago.  Lol what the hell happened?

    Don't understand why it appear that critics "suddenly" realise MCU movies are actually pretty bad in general. Outside of VFX quality, I seriously don't see how MCU movies are much better when they were in Phase 1, 2 or 3 but critics or some cynics trying hard to prove Phase 4 or 5 is a step down. 

     

    Pre-endgame the MCU did feel like it had a coherent vision with more competent writing in general, now it just feels like they're throwing shit against a wall.
