The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe installment, “The Marvels,” had a disappointing opening weekend, with box office projections steadily declining.
The film’s underwhelming reception has been largely attributed to fans’ rejection of Disney’s woke agenda in films, unclear marketing, and a societal shift towards home viewing over theatrical releases.
“The only films that have opened lower than $60 million have been 2015′s ‘Ant-Man,’ which debuted with $57 million, and 2008′s ‘Incredible Hulk,’ which opened with $55 million,” CNBC noted. (Trending: Photos Released Of Cocaine Found In White House)

“Unfortunately, countless spinoffs, sequels and universes in both big screen and small screen iterations, and an at times unclear marketing message have resulted in mixed critical and fan reaction and thus resulted in disappointing box office results for some of Marvel’s recent big screen offerings,” said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst at Comscore.
Those sentiments seemed similar to what had theorized about the film’s poor showing.
“Marvel Studios, “The Marvels” — with its crossover streaming series blah-blah — looks like it was built to be seen in homes, not to get audiences off the couch,” Deadline’s Anthony D’Alessandro wrote.
“Marvel, let’s go back to the Netflix days, when Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Punisher lived in homes and not on the big screen,” he added. (Trending: Court Hands Down Crucial 2nd Amendment Ruling)
“It’s clearly better for business.”
Despite its lackluster performance, “The Marvels” managed to secure the top spot at the box office for the weekend, which critics have pointed out as only occurring due to a lack of any competition.
