The studio will no longer report on the title's box office, which is
the lowest in Marvel Studios history.

Marvel Studios is not reacting well, at all, to having its first
real box office bomb in 15 years. After years of unprecedented
success, including four of the 10 highest-grossing films of all
time, the studio’s latest release, The Marvels, is on the opposite
end of the spectrum. After about a month in release, the film has
begun to taper off its box office run and will be, by far, the
lowest-grossing movie in the entire franchise, failing to crack $100
million domestically and only flirting with $200 million worldwide.


The film failed to crack the top 10 this weekend, coming in at
number 11, but its $2.5 million is more than a huge percentage of
other films in release, all of which will continue to report their
numbers. To say you’re going to stop reporting numbers, especially
with the holiday season in full swing and the film being the only
Marvel movie out, seems particularly odd and purposefully spiteful.
(Because you’re wondering though, the film will remain in theaters.
Disney just won’t be reporting the numbers.)

This then comes after the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, blamed there not
being enough executives on set for the failure of the film (which,
oh my god, hilarious right?), as well as several stories blaming
director Nia DaCosta in various ways. Read about all of that at this
link.

None of this, however, looks at several other factors. The simplest
one is that it was released in the middle of the actors’ strike, so
actors were unable to promote it. That may not seem like a huge deal
but having Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, and others appearing on
things Good Morning America and The Tonight Show hits a lot of
random eyeballs. In addition. audiences simply may not have known
this was a sequel to the billion-dollar-grossing Captain Marvel.
Early marketing focused on the film being a three-hander between
Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica Rambeau. But unless audiences
watched WandaVision and Ms. Marvel on Disney+, that may not have
been the slam dunk Disney and Marvel thought it was. In fact, it may
have made the film seem more like a television event than a
theatrical blockbuster.


But lean into that! Get it out on streaming! Promote the fact that
while most people didn’t see the film, the majority that did liked
it! None of that is happening though, at least not at the moment.
Surely The Marvels will make it to Disney+ soon and, as the Marvel
Cinematic Universe moves on, the events in the film will become
increasingly important (um, that end credit scene!)—but, for now,
Disney has thrown in the towel on The Marvels. And it’s a shame.
