The Marvels Has Worst Marvel Opening in 15 Years Amid Franchise Fatigue
-
"The Marvels" had the lowest opening weekend box office earnings of any Marvel movie, grossing just $47 million domestically.
-
It's only the third Marvel film to open under $60 million since 2008's "The Incredible Hulk".
-
Analysts cite Marvel fatigue, high expectations, and oversaturation from TV spinoffs as reasons for the low earnings.
-
Last November's "Black Panther Wakanda Forever" opened to $181 million, nearly 4x "The Marvels'" debut.
-
Competition from streaming and audiences seeking more unique films may also be factors in the underwhelming opening.
