Summary

  • The Marvels experienced a massive drop of 77.8% in its second weekend, making it the worst-performing Marvel Studios film in its second weekend and the biggest drop for a superhero movie in Hollywood history.
  • The film had to compete with The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which took first place at the box office, exacerbating The Marvels' disappointing performance.
  • Superhero fatigue and setbacks within the MCU and DC, combined with other factors like the Covid pandemic and streaming platform popularity, highlight the need for new storytelling approaches to bring audiences back to theaters.
