Marvel Studios Thunderbolts*/New Avengers struggled somewhat at the box office despite favorable reviews from both critics and fans. But now that the film has hit Disney Plus, subscribers are flocking to it in droves - so much so that it's become the streamers most popular movie in the US and its third highest streamed film worldwide after just a single day, according to streaming monitor service FlixPatrol.
Thunderbolts* landed in theaters back in May, and while audiences were enthusiastic about the film, too few were willing to pay to sit in the theater and watch it, making $382.4 million globally on a budget of $180 million. That's a decent enough return, until factoring in marketing and distribution costs. And it's a far cry from the massive numbers Marvel movies raked in during their heyday.
