Elizabeth Zott, hero of the people. It’s not exactly where the scientist and reluctant television star thought she would end up, but Apple TV+’s “Lessons in Chemistry” is all about surrendering the inevitability of change.

Brie Larson isn’t ready to hang up Captain Marvel‘s iconic suit just yet.

The Marvels’ low box office numbers.Following its release on Friday (November 10), The Marvels made just $47million (£38m) in its opening weekend in the US – the lowest opening ever for a movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. At the worldwide box office, the film has made just over $88million (£71m).In a post on X, King called out those dogpiling on the film’s failure, later suggesting it might be down to “adolescent fanboy hate”.“I don’t go to MCU movies, don’t care for them, but I find this barely masked gloating over the low box office for THE MARVELS very unpleasant,” King wrote.

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 has reportedly suffered the worst opening weekend at the cinema in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) history.The 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, 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.

Cat-lovers will more than get their fix thanks to Danvers’ moggy Goose – secretly a Flerken that has tentacles that spring out of its mouth and swallows things whole (people, plates, you name it).

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!

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. The big-budget superhero sequel is expected to generate just $60 million to $65 million from 4,000 North American theaters in its opening weekend, which would be one of the lowest debuts in MCU history.

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.
