The Marvels Underperformance At The Box Office

Marvel Studios' latest outing, The Marvels is on the verge of becoming the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film to finish under $100 million at the domestic (North America) box office as well as the lowest grossing film worldwide in the MCU .

The Brie Larson-led superhero sequel is turning out to be a rare box-office misfire in the blockbuster history of the MCU which kicked off in 2008 with "Iron Man". "The Marvels" had the biggest second-weekend drop of around 79% in the MCU history by a long margin.

Reportedly, the film has  grossed just $10 million in the second weekend, according to the sources. The total collection has reached $65 million (540 crores) in 10 days, and with the current trend, it is projected to finish around $80 million - $90 million in North America.

At  the overseas box office, the situation is the same as in the domestic market with a total collection of $96 million (800 crores) in 12 days over 52 markets. The total worldwide collection currently stands at $161 million (1345 crores). It is heading towards the finish of just over $200 million, lower than the opening weekend total of its predecessor "Captain Marvel".

At  Indian ticket windows, "The Marvels" is heading to finish around $2 million (16.50 crores), a hugely disappointing performance. The film was made on a budget of around $285 million and is set to become one of the biggest disasters in the history of the MCU.
