Part 2/11:
According to industry sources like Anthony Dallesandro from Deadline Magazine, "The Marvels" only managed to accumulate around $6.6 million in Thursday night previews. When adjusted for the current landscape—where previews typically begin at 3 or 4 PM rather than midnight—the figures are among the worst in MCU history.
The film’s opening weekend is now forecasted to hover around a mere $40 to $45 million, a disastrous figure when compared to previous Marvel releases, especially considering its reported $200 million production budget. The likelihood is that the sequel will struggle to recoup its costs, possibly signaling the beginning of the end for the current MCU era.
