I toldja that 3.5M number Deadline had made no sense to me.

The Marvels potentially having a worse second hold than FNAF is wild.

The Marvels has horrible word of mouth. The only people who like it are people online.

Damn that’s a tiny preview share.

Deadline was WAY OFF on their Friday estimate for The Marvels.   Did Charlie ever tweet out an estimate for it?

It's clear that audiences think that this is a trash movie which is hilarious after all the astroturfing from social media and Reddit going "but it's so fun! breezy! Iman Vellani is a star!"

The late rush in reviews to get it from Rotten up to 62% was a little odd to me.   It was almost as if some critics felt bad for it.

At the end of Oppenheimer, when he is staring off into the distance, thinking of the consequences of what he created, I am not sure he envisioned that Walt Disney would one day create the biggest bomb known to mankind.

These family and kids' movies tend to be pretty backloaded barring unnaturally toxic word of mouth.

Ironically enough Kamala and her family saved the movie for me. Otherwise it really is an unwatchable mess. Iman deserved so much better. I hope she flourishes elsewhere.

Plenty of trash movies make money. No, this is more than about the quality of the movie. People just decided they must make Marvel pay for their meteoric success and trash produvt they put out lately. I'm afraid The Marvels is paying the price of Quantumania and the other latest Marvel movies  sucking

Rotten Tomato scores are typically misunderstood, of course, but it really gets my goat that the new Hunger Games prequel could be assumed to be similar in artistic merit to the Marvels if one were to just look at the Tomatometer. HG:BoSS is easily twice the movie the Marvels is in my opinion.

Will this even get to 90m at this point. Just awful , total rejection.

It's definitely paying for the sins of Eternals, Love and Thunder, Quantumania and yes despite people denying it because it made a very frontloaded 950M, Multiverse of Madness. But it can only pay for the opening weekend. The word of mouth is all on the film itself.

Don't get me wrong, I like Marvel movies, but I find the MCU fans greatly exaggerating  way too often about certain elements being great, to the point that it's as misleading as the Morbius re-release.

Who tf does Disney expect to watch a tv show about a d-list villain from a b-list tv show?

Yeah. The Marvels is partially suffering for the sins of previous movies.

 

However, consider the audience didn't make Marvel pay with Guardians 3. So, the situation is "we will make Marvel pay as long as the movie doesn't have characters we care about".
