Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, once a powerhouse at the box office, has encountered a shift in fortunes. “The Marvels” faced a challenging start in its opening weekend, securing a mere $47 million – marking the MCU’s weakest debut in history.
With an estimated budget of $300 million, the film fell short of initial optimistic projections of $75-80 million, settling for a more modest expectation of $60-65 million as the release date approached. Despite being the 33rd MCU installment over 15 years, the film failed to meet even these lowered anticipations.
Several factors contributed to the film’s struggles, including unfavorable buzz and the absence of key cast members, such as Brie Larson, due to the SAG strike, which fortunately concluded just in time for the release. Among the extensive MCU lineup, only two films – “The Incredible Hulk” in 2008 and “Ant-Man” in 2015 – experienced weaker openings without adjusting for inflation.
While “The Marvels” serves as a noticeable stumble for the MCU, other major releases in the same year, such as “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” in February ($106 million) and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” in May ($118 million), still managed to achieve impressive box office numbers, reaching the coveted triple-digit figures. “The Marvels” stands out as an anomaly in the MCU landscape, as these movies typically don’t face stumbling blocks right from the start, unlike this particular installment.
