Remember the bright shining light that was Captain Marvel when she showed up to shepherd Tony Stark to safety in the first few minutes of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame? Well, judging by this weekend’s projections for Carol Danvers’ latest outing, that light has dimmed. Disney/Marvel’s The Marvels is headed for an estimated global opening through Sunday of $110M-$115M, which would rep the lowest start ever for a Disney MCU title worldwide.
As we noted in our preview, this sequel was already expected to see low returns. With a few days now in its pocket, The Marvels’ projected $80M international box office opening has dipped to the $60M neighborhood. Currently, from what we can see, the Brie Larson-starrer from director Nia DaCosta is at about $25M through Friday overseas.
We are expecting No. 1 starts in almost all offshore markets, and social scores are decent, but there is a lack of urgency surrounding the film. As Anthony has noted, domestic is looking at $47M-$52M. There’s confusion and overexposure surrounding the title which incorporates elements from Disney+ series Ms Marvel and WandaVision, but which, unlike its predecessor, is not benefiting from being something fresh and/or the link between Infinity War and Endgame.
Social scores are slightly better than those of critics overseas. But of course there’s the aspect of actors not having been able to promote until the strike ended on Thursday, and that didn’t help the gottasee factor of rushing to cinemas.
While we had already tempered hopes for China, that market now looks to be coming in under $15M for the three-day weekend, and that’s despite the movie having been given early notice of its approved release. There is no Maoyan score for the moment, but critics are

Meghan Markle were taken aback when King Charles III offered Prince Andrew Frogmore Cottage — shortly after they were evicted from the residence.According to royal expert Omid Scobie’s upcoming book, “Endgame,” the monarch’s gesture toward his younger brother was the “final blow” for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, 42.Although Charles’ decision was most likely not a dig directly at Harry, 39, Scobie insists it “undoubtedly” was. Furthermore, Charles, 75, always had a “blind spot” for his disgraced sibling, and Andrew repeatedly turned down the property.“This eviction surely spells the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK,” an insider told the Sun earlier this year.“Andrew is resisting the idea of moving into Frogmore Cottage after he was offered it last week,” they added.

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.
Reviews weren’t strong (62% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) and neither was audience reaction. “The Marvels” is only the third MCU release to receive a “B” CinemaScore from moviegoers, following “Eternals” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania.”“The Marvels,” which added $63.3 million in overseas ticket sales, may go down as a turning point in the MCU. Over the years, the franchise has collected $33 billion globally — a point Disney noted in reporting its grosses Sunday.But with movie screens and streaming platforms increasingly crowded with superhero films and series, some analysts have detected a new fatigue setting in for audiences.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter There’s nothing super about the opening weekend of Disney’s superhero adventure “The Marvels,” which whiffed at the box office with $63 million internationally and $110 million globally. Those figures are far behind expectations (heading into the weekend, Disney hoped for $140 million or more, and even that wouldn’t have been great for the $220 million-budgeted tentpole) and rank as one of the worst worldwide debuts in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “The Marvels” is the 33rd MCU film and the sequel to 2019’s billion-dollar behemoth, “Captain Marvel,” which debuted to a massive $302 million internationally and $455 million globally.

How the fuck can you call yourself a political left-wing band if you are not fucking speaking up for people that have no voice at the moment?” they said.“It’s a cowardly fucking thing.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “The Marvels,” the 33rd installment in Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, is barreling toward an unfortunate box office distinction.
