$1.1m for Monday, still in 4th.

 

[psylockolussus]

Already outgrossed Dark PhoeniX, and should outgross Blade in a few days.

I hope the 3rd weekend drop isn't as steep. That 78.1% is an alltime worst for any Marvel film.

Hmm even $250 million worldwide is impossible at this point.

It hurts me so much we've come all the way from the end of Phase 3 and Avengers: Endgame to.. this.

I really hope Marvel goes back to making good comic book movies, because The Marvels wasn't it.

I saw it 5 days ago and it was absolutely lowest tier MCU. The quality I saw is reflected every bit in its box office performance.

Fun and insignificant sci-fi romps don't cut it anymore. Bring back stakes, memorable villains and stories worth telling.

 

[psylockolussus]

Pretty shocking that is not even making half of Quantumania's numbers in North America and I guess worldwide too.

Won't even come close to Dark Phoenix worldwide/internationally though.

Disney should lower their budgets and abandon movie theaters and just go straight to streaming and increase the price of Disney+. The days of theatrical success for them are over. Become Netflix and embrace streaming.

.... that makes no sense.

2 MCU films flop and suddenly they "theaters are dead!" Lol...k

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Oppenheimer and Barbie made a ton of money. Across The Spider-Verse too. We had some big franchises under-perform but we still got movies making lots of money.

 

[Snow Queen]

The idea of any of the big studios going streaming only as they all seem to be struggling to make the buy in they've already done seem like a good idea is deeply foolish at best.

Earned $1.5million last Tuesday (domestically). The Hunger Games is noticeably having better domestic daily numbers (6.5m vs The Marvel's 1st Tuesday of 3.3m). So that film should outgross The Marvels this weekend.

1.5million this last Wednesday. It should outgross Morbius (73 million) this weekend, and could have a chance of outgrossing Blade II (82 million). Over all, this is a weak month for movies in general, at the boX office.

Boxoffice Pro predicts only a 33% drop this week which I guess is because of Thanksgiving, but it's still not bad if true compared to other films. Not that it will make any real difference but it will at least get away from breaking negative records.

We can't sell the film short. With all the negative records it's broken so far, there's probably a few more to go before it's theatrical run ends.

 

[psylockolussus]

Aside from Morbius (72m), it would also outgross V for Vendetta (70m) and Blue Beetle (72m) in North America this weekend. Then neXt week, Constantine (75m).

If it doesn't have a gigantic drop for its 4th and 5th weekend, it could outgross Blade II (82m) and Birds of Prey (84m).

memorable villains

The villain choice for this movie is especially baffling. They've gotten so full of themselves that they're throwing millions at their own OCs now.

Not that Captain Marvel has a rich rogue gallery but it's not like there weren't better options. Where's Moonstone? Deathbird? The Brood? Why not bring Jude Law back as Magnitron or something. Are the Kree sentries even in this movie (haven't seen it yet)

I hope they weren't saving the better villains for the future because... well... with those numbers I'm not really sure...

 

[psylockolussus]

I wanted Moonstone for Captain Marvel 2.

 

[MadVillainy]

Is it not obvious? Larson as Carol was introduced as one of the next big things for the MCU. Her movie made a billion dollars. And then suddenly she disappears. They've been downplaying her role for the past 4 years, to the point that she wasn't even the focal point of the sequel to her movie.

You act like the hate campaign stopped after the film in 2019. It reached its worst AFTER the release, and it never let up, and Disney/Marvel never offered public support for her. We know for a fact that the suits are conservative-leaners inclined to listen to reactionary hate campaigns. Just look at how much they still censor any attempts at queer content.

...That still doesn't make any sense.

You think that a mega company whose whole purpose is making money would sideline something that made them money...because of online hate? They made a billion dollars despite any hate and you think they turned the faucet off because of online hate? The money proves that the hate doesn't matter to the profits and that the online hate is a vocal minority. What company/conglomerate has ever done something like that?

But even then how have they sidelined Cap Marvel? Her movie came out in 2019, Feige always has bigged her up, the original plan was for the sequel to come out in 2022 (3 years after the original) which isn't a crazy delay pretty standard in sequels, they introduced older Monica in their first Disney+ tv show clearly intending to put her in a CM sequel, Carol showed up in the stinger for Shang Chi, they made a Ms Marvel where there's so much hero worship of Carol, Carol's front and center of so much of the Marvels marketing...how are they sidelining her? I haven't seen the movie, but everything pre-release does not seem like a sidelining at all. She's gotten more push than most other newer MCU characters other than Dr. Strange

The logic in what you're saying doesn't make sense as is easy proven false.

TM falls to #6 for the weekend. Total domestic boxoffice now at $76.5m

The Marvels (Dis) 4,030 theaters Fri $2.4M (+95%) 3-day $6M (-41%) 5-day $8.8M Total $76.5M/Wk 3

So it finally outgrossed Morbius, Blade, Constantine, V for Vendetta and Blue Beetle. It should be able to outgross Blade II neXt month - out of the Marvel films that failed to hit $100 million mark domestically, it would be the closest from $100 million.

I know the bar is eXtremely low, but still. Though I can't believe it won't outgross Ghost Rider, Daredevil and the Hulk movies. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Batman, Mission Impossible, Bourne, Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Hunger Games didn't hit this low (domestically, less than $100 million) for their respective lowest grossing (live action) film. As the #1 top grossing film franchise of all time, to go from $200 million+/$400 million+ to less than $100 million under a year is insane.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Yes, let's raise a glass to The Marvels finally out-grossing box office comic book films that it's in conversation with like...Morbius, Constantine, V for Vendetta, and Blue Beetle, which is sadder than it is humorous at this point.

But number six for this weekend? Yeah, the audience has soundly rejected this movie.

Like I said, the bar is eXtremely low. Its not really a celebration but just pointing out the fact that it outgrossed those films. I think in the future, some of the Mcu films might not even outgross those films (Blade, Thunderbolts and Fantastic 4 - if they continue to lose public interest). So for now, I'd see rather see The Marvels outgross those films (domestically) than not.

 

[Abudefduf]

We may be looking at what "no cultural impact" actually looks like (and by the sound of things, we'll be looking at it again this december with Aquaman 2)

 

[psylockolussus]

I don't think boXoffice matters that much for Aquaman 2 anyway, aside from Wb getting their money back. The Dceu is ending anyway and Dceu already hit rock bottom at the boX office several times. Aquaman 2 won't have the title for being the lowest grossing DCEU film as well. Compare that to The Marvels which broke several records in a negative way.

A Captain Marvel 3 that is a big improvement from The Marvels seems impossible now.

I think with a Mcu film just grossing over $80 million in North America, it could easily happen again for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time, especially if Disney doesn't play their cards well.

 

[Incarnadine]

For once the estimates actually went up slightly to $6.4m for the 3 day and $9.2 for the 5 day.
$100m domestic is long gone, but I don't see a path to $90m, even $85m might be stretching it.
