THE MARVELS’ BOX OFFICE STRUGGLE AND AUDIENCE REACTIONS: A DEEP DIVE

"The Marvels," the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), has faced a tumultuous journey at the box office. Despite high expectations, the film's opening weekend gross fell significantly short of industry projections. According to Box Office Pro, early estimates hinted at a potential opening of around $35 million, a stark contrast to the initial forecast of $70 to $80 million. Even the more optimistic figure of $49 million was a disappointment when compared to previous expectations.
