The Marvels = $2,372,375 - first Monday

 

Morbius = $2,126,392    - first Monday

 

Rejected comicbook movies drop hard. Under 100m for The Marvels.  75% 2nd weekend drop

[Johnny Tran]

How is Fast X on the "disaster" list?  Even if the movie really did cost $350M to produce,  it made over $700M worldwide.

People say that Disney+ is going to suffer because all of this, but I'm waiting until the Disney+ to see Indiana Jones and, now, The Marvels. I just wonder how many other folks are the same way.

Why all the "Knock it off" reacts on this comment?

I'm standing in solidarity as someone who will also wait until it's on Disney+ to check on The Marvels. Probably Wish too.

Honestly, I thought that was the main reason to have a streaming service run by a studio. I mean, I'll still see Disney films in theaters. I saw Avatar 2 in theaters, for example. But if I'm reading iffy things, of course I'm going to wait.

 

And if it's from another studio, I sometimes won't even see a film once it reaches digital, because even $5.99 for an individual rental feels like too much money.

It's kind of amusing that The Flash was a contender for biggest flop of all time and now it's not even going to be the biggest flop of the year.😈

[MovieMan89]

If anyone didn’t believe sub 2x was likely… lol. Up to Thanksgiving to drag it there or definitely not happening. Will be out of most theatre before Xmas 

[Belakor]

Who would've imagine a Marvel movie with the brand on the movie's name would flop this hard, its actually impressive how quickly the franchise imploded. 

[eeetooki]

I mean if 80% of the Captain Marvel watched it because of Endgame in North America, then 99.9% watched it for that reason in China. Brie Larson/Captain Marvel has absolutely no brand recognition in China.

At least Shazam 2 was already part of a dead universe so it has no long term implications. The Marvels bombing this bad is just, a disaster.

What long-term implications does this film doing bad really have?

 

And no, the post-credit scenes don't matter. In fact, they just make future films that much more confusing. Even on the MCU films that do well!

If a sequel to a $1B movie is doing this badly, then imagine how movies like Thunderbolts, Captain America 4, and Blade are gonna to? The future MCU slate is looking bleak

 

And it also shows how much the MCU brand has declined. Eternals was able to do $400M WW back in Nov 2021 purely off the strength of the Marvel brand, now it would be lucky to do half that.

[HummingLemon496]

So the Marvels + Aquaman 2 under $1 billion club by @Bob Train is now a lock.

I still don't feel like people comprehend just how lacking Marvel was at hyping this film themselves. Sure, there was a strike going on, but the largest promotional push I saw for the film was a cat cam on Youtube a week before release. 

 

We have over a year until any of those projects you mentioned hit theaters, so there's more than enough time to rebuild hype.

 

Hell, just look at how people reacted to the Echo trailer. That show is getting more love by Marvel Studios than The Marvels did, with an actual screening of two episode at an event!

 This is cursed year for Hollywood franchise sequel with so many box office bombs,never saw this situation before.

Indiana Jones is probably #2 or #3… The budget was actually $329 million.
