There was a lot of star power at the Broadway opening of Spamalot!

Broadway began its trek into the lucrative holiday season last week at a steady clip, with the 28 shows grossing a total of $29,163,440 for the week ending November 12. That’s up about 10% over the previous week, though down about the same percentage from last year at this time.

There’s no other way to put it. It’s not a good day for Marvel Studios as their third film of 2023, “The Marvels,” opened to just $47 million at the U.S.

The Marvels” likely won’t be able to reach even a third of its predecessor’s debut. The comic book film landed the second-lowest opening day gross ever across the 32 features in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, earning $21.5 million from 4,030 venues. That includes $6.6 million in previews.

The Marvels, Nia DaCosta’s action-packed addition to a decent if not spectacular year for the films of the MCU.The ending we’re talking about is not only the film’s climactic showdown and good-humored epilogue but, since this is a Marvel movie, also the buzzworthy mid-credits sequence. All three components offer satisfactory closure to the story at hand, while heralding intriguing future adventures for the film’s titular trio of superheroes.The credits scene, in particular, foreshadows the first truly exciting MCU plot development since Marvel cracked open its now 33-film fictional universe into a kaleidoscopic multiverse of rarified worlds and reimagined characters.

Brie Larson is heading out to promote her new movie The Marvels!

Angelique Jackson Nia DaCosta survived the roller coaster of making “The Marvels,” but London’s rush hour traffic threatens to make her sick.

Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), The Marvels, has split the critics with a range of mixed reviews.READ MORE: ‘The Marvels’ review: a quirky cosmic caper that lacks punchThe film, which is directed by Nia DaCosta, is the sequel to 2019’s Captain Marvel and a continuation of the television miniseries Ms. Marvel.

The Marvels hits theaters this Friday (November 10), but critics have already had a first look at the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Filmmaker Nia DaCosta isn’t a stranger to stories about the power of vengefulness or forgiveness. Her directorial debut “Little Woods” sees its protagonist (Tessa Thompson) trying to create a life when local vengeance gets in the way, while “Candyman” sees artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) get ever closer to folklore’s Candyman, the vengeful spirit of a wrongly murdered man who can overtake your life if you whisper enough times into a mirror.

Eternals” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” were low points for the limping Marvel Cinematic Universe, strap in for the ride to abject misery that is “The Marvels.” The interminable movie, barely directed by Nia DaCosta, is not so much the story of Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau as it is a sad study of the downfall of America’s favorite screen franchise. Running time: 105 minutes.

There was a time—not that long ago, in fact—where a new Marvel Studios release fell into a bit of a routine.

The Marvels has been mostly praised as a “delight” in first reactions following the film’s premiere.Directed by Nia DaCosta, the upcoming superhero blockbuster sees Brie Larson return as Captain Marvel alongside Teyonah Parris as WandaVision’s Monica Rambeau and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel.After the film held its premiere in Las Vegas on Tuesday (November 7), critics have been sharing their first reactions on social media – with many praising in particular Vellani’s “standout” turn as Kamala.“The Marvels is the most fun I’ve had watching a superhero movies in a while! It’s hilarious, action-packed & full of girl power,” Pop Culture Planet founder Kristen Maldonado wrote on X. “Kamala was a stand out & so many moments surprised me.”The Washington Post reporter Herb Scribner said it was “funny, silly, short and sweet” and “exactly what a comic book movie should be”.
