The Marvels' Brie Larson & Iman Vellani Reunite to Attend 'Spamalot' Broadway Opening!

The Marvels” won’t live up to its sparkling title.The Disney-produced superhero movie, from all indications, will wind up as the lowest-grossing Marvel Cinematic Universe movie in its entire 15-year history.While the film starring Brie Larson, Iman Vellani and Teyonah Parris opened less than a month ago — and has so far grossed a scant $80 million domestically and $197 worldwide — any hopes of it becoming a sleeper hit have disappeared.According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 33rd MCU film’s box office dropped a staggering 78% in its second weekend, and it’s only gotten worse from there.And Variety reported that Disney sent a note to press saying, “With ‘The Marvels’ box office now winding down, we will stop weekend reporting of international/global grosses on this title.”The previous record-holder for biggest MCU loser was 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk” starring Mark Ruffalo, with $80 million domestically and $264.7 million worldwide. The numbers for “The Marvels” are especially dire when you consider the boffo earnings of the studio’s most popular titles: “Avengers: Endgame” ($2.8 billion worldwide); “The Avengers” ($1.52 billion); “Avengers: Age of Ultron” ($1.4 billion).

The Marvels has been officially named the lowest-grossing installment in Marvel Cinematic Universe’s history.The movie, which stars Brie Larson, Zawe Ashton and Teyonah Parris, was not predicted to perform well in the box office.Against a $220million budget, the movie has grossed just $197million, unlike other Marvel movies such as Avengers: Endgame which made over $2.5billion globally in its opening weekend.The Marvels, which was released on November 10, had the worst debut weekend in the history of MCU, with only $46million in ticket sales. With only $80million made in North America, the movie is the first of the studio’s films that failed to reach the $100million milestone at the domestic box office.According to CNBC, Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, has recently addressed the struggles that have faced the movie, saying: “The Marvels was shot during COVID.

The Marvels is achieving the kind of milestone no film wants to reach.

Disney CEO Bob Iger is sharing his thoughts on the box-office performance of The Marvels.

partly blamed the debacle on a lack of “supervision.” ″‘The Marvels’ was shot during COVID,” Iger, 72, said. “There wasn’t as much supervision on the set, so to speak, where we have executives [that are] really looking over what’s being done day after day after day.” Variety previously reported that the director of “The Marvels,” Nia DaCosta, began another project during postproduction.“If you’re directing a $250 million movie, it’s kind of weird for the director to leave with a few months to go,” a source told the trade.“The Marvels,” the 33rd film in the MCU, had the lowest opening weekend at the box office ever for the franchise, grossing just $47 million domestically.

Disney CEO Bob Iger had plenty to say about the MCU‘s current issues at The New York Times‘ annual BookDeal summit yesterday. But CNN reports that Iger also had a multilayered explanation for why “The Marvels” did so poorly in theaters earlier this month, taking in just $47 million domestically its opening weekend.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Disney CEO Bob Iger said at the New York Times’ DealBook Summit (via CNBC) following “The Marvels” flopping at the box office that there was a lack of supervision on the set of the film as a result of the COVID pandemic. The combination of pandemic set restrictions and Disney’s increased output due to the launch of streamer Disney+ made it increasingly difficult for studio executives to oversee the onslaught of new productions.

Todd Gilchrist editor In a year in which evaluating the contributions of writers became a major point of contention across the entertainment industry, Variety is especially pleased to announce its list of 10 Screenwriters to Watch. Some among them are scribes whose work has already made waves — cultural as much as commercial — with others on the precipice of transforming this year’s awards season and the broader landscape of film for years to come.

Sadly, for actor Iman Vellani, one of the stars of Marvel Studios’ latest feature, “The Marvels,” the discussion surrounding the release of the film has revolved around the box office performance. The film opened to the lowest debut for a MCU film ever, and its second weekend has experienced the biggest drop for the studio.

“Chicken Run” was a breakout hit for Aardman Animations in 2000 after garnering a following in the UK and US for their “Wallace And Gromit” and “Morph” shorts. And twenty-three years later, “Chicken Run” remains the highest-grossing stop-motion animated film of all 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.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Disney‘s Marvel Cinematic Universe is no longer a bulletproof box office franchise. That much is clear after “The Marvels” misfired with $47 million in its opening weekend to land the worst debut in MCU history. Initial tracking was closer to $75 million to $80 million, but those projections shrank dramatically in recent weeks to $60 million to $65 million.

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.

Angelique Jackson Nia DaCosta survived the roller coaster of making “The Marvels,” but London’s rush hour traffic threatens to make her sick. It’s late October, weeks from the Nov. 10 release of the $250 million superhero movie, and DaCosta is conducting a Zoom interview from the back seat of a car as it inches toward her home.

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.
