The Marvels is an undeniable flop. The Captain Marvel sequel took $47 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend, which may sound like a truckload of cash, but it ranks as the lowest initial haul for a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie ever.
The superhero team-up movie can’t even comfort itself with particularly strong reviews either. Its 61% score on Rotten Tomatoes is enough to push it into the “Fresh” category, but it’s a far cry from the 90%+ scores the MCU enjoyed at its peak. The Marvels' CinemaScore, which averages the opinions of regular moviegoers into a letter grade, comes in at an underwhelming B, which is tied for the lowest among MCU movies.
