The Marvels, like this Florence Pugh starrer, is also part of the MCU’s Phase 5, but is the biggest flop ever.

The Marvels earned 81.78% less than its predecessor and was even below The Incredible Hulk’s global haul, becoming the lowest-grossing MCU movie in history. It depends on how much The New Avengers will make in the coming days, owing to its positive word of mouth.
The Marvel Studios movie, Thunderbolts*, collected a decent opening of $74.3 million in the United States. It is performing decently at the theatres, saw the biggest hike on its first Tuesday, and is moving swiftly towards the $100 million milestone. According to Deadline‘s report, it is projected to collect an estimated $35 million on its second weekend, witnessing a drop of 53%. If it lands on the projection, the movie will hit the $130.3 million cume in its second weekend. It will thus surpass The Marvels’ $206.12 million.
