Box Office: “The Marvels” Has Disappointing Preview Night, May Be Lowest Grossing Marvel Movie

Share

“The Marvels” made $6.6 million last night. It’s a big disappointment, but not unexpected.

Other Marvel movies this year started each with $17.5 million. “The Marvels” could be the lowest grossing Marvel movie yet.

This is despite being a sort of sequel to “Captain Marvel” starring Oscar winner Brie Larson. That was a hit but this one has been marked by delays and changes and an obvious lack of vision. What is it? Reviewers don’t see to know, either. “The Marvels” has a very poor 61% among critics and bloggers.

Me? I’ll watch Brie Larson read the phone book. She’s so talented. But she’s also spent too much time doing car commercials. It’s time to get back to serious movies.
