Part 2/7:
To illustrate, Morbius had previously set the record for the worst second weekend drop, and now that record has been shattered by The Marvels. The film made only $10.2 million domestically in its second three-day window, bringing its total US gross to just $65 million. This amount is catastrophic for a film of its kind, especially considering the expectations for MCU offerings.
The End of an Era for the MCU's Box Office Domination
This marked the first time in MCU history that a film failed to reach the $100 million mark domestically, failing badly to meet even the most modest forecasts. Initial predictions that The Marvels might gross between $80 to $90 million in the US now seem overly optimistic, as the film's overall US total appears headed toward just $60-$70 million.
