"The Marvels: A Box Office Catastrophe for the Aging MCU Fanbase"
"The Marvels" is experiencing a box office nightmare, with an estimated 73 percent decline in its second weekend, potentially dropping 75-80 percent. The film's opening weekend was underwhelming, earning only $46.1 million, a third of what the original film made. The negative media narrative and director Nia DiCosta's comments about critics of the MCU's woke makeover may have contributed to the film's poor performance. Additionally, Taika Waititi's "Next Goal Wins" also had a disappointing opening, earning just $2.2 million.
