Brie Larson starrer The Marvels’ box office has been continuously sliding following a low Thanksgiving return.
The movie has so far grossed $6.4 million domestically during its third weekend in theaters and $9.2 million since November 22, when the MCU offering faced further competition from newly-released projects, Napoleon and Wish.
Also battling The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which dropped on November 17, The Marvels was shut out of the top five on the domestic box office charts for the second straight weekend.
At the time of writing, the Captain Marvel sequel has made $188.9 million in worldwide ticket sales, having suffered dramatic dropoffs in each of the last two weekends following a lower-than-expected opening weekend.
The movie now needs a major late push just to make back its budget, with the Nia DaCosta-led movie taking just under $275 million to make. As it stands, The Marvels looks to be the second big box-office flop from the MCU this year after Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania became the first post-pandemic Marvel title to lose money.
Some claim The Marvels’ opening weekend box office performance killed the MCU, but what it actually proves is SAG-AFTRA’s point about actors’ worth.
The Marvels sees Brie Larson return as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel alongside Teyonah Parris (Monica Rambeau) and Iman Vellani (Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel).
