Brie Larson’s The Marvels is expected to have the LOWEST opening weekend EVER for an MCU movie (despite last-minute promotion from its star) with projected ticket sales between $47 million and $52 million

Despite holding the number one spot at the box office, Brie Larson’s new superhero film The Marvels is expected to have the lowest opening weekend ever for an MCU film.

Larson, 34, heavily promoted the latest Marvel movie on The Tonight Show and spoke with co-star Samuel L Jackson74, via FaceTime in a theater in New York Friday, a day after the actors’ strike ended.

While many Marvel films have had hundreds of millions of openings, The Marvels only grossed $21.5 million in ticket sales on its first night in theaters.

According to estimates, the film is expected to gross between $47 million and $52 million over the three-day weekend.

Brie reprises her role as Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers for this latest project.

She is joined by Ms. Marvel star Iman Vellani, 21, and WandaVision’s Teyonah Parris, 36.

The women come together to try to save the universe after Zawe Ashton’s Dar-Benn gets his hands on some quantum bonds and uses their power to rip open a jump point in space.

Kamala Khan, played by Iman, also has her own quantum bands.

This results in entanglement between the group of heroes, casually referred to as The Marvels, and with bad girl Dar-Benn, whose actions continue to endanger the universe.

In her appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Brie revealed that she had to “learn all new skills” for the role and revealed “we’re going to planets that are pretty cool.”

Other surprises include a guest appearance from Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie.

The film was described as “Funny, refreshingly short, and elevated by the chemistry of its three leads. Easy to enjoy in the moment, despite the messy story and muddled tonal shifts,” was the critics’ consensus on Rotten Tomatoes.

Anthony D’Alessandro op Deadline blames the expected poor box office on “Disney’s overexposure of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brand on Disney+” and the crossover with Marvel streaming series makes it look more like a project to be watched at home rather than in theaters.

Slate’s Sam Thielman has a different take on The Marvels.

He said the “movie with two fantastic musical numbers, three compelling leads, at least four really fun action scenes, and a ton of crap CGI” could actually benefit the Marvelverse if the studio “would reconsider taking such a heavy hand ‘. ,” about the franchise.
