Thunderbolts* opening box office defended by analysts: ‘Average is a big number’

The new Marvel film Thunderbolts* made $76 million on its opening weekend, placing it firmly in the number one spot at the box office ahead of Sinners ($33 million) and A Minecraft Movie ($13.7 million).

However, that total is some way below the standard set by previous entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is the 28th highest opening in franchise history, trailing the $357 million record set by Avengers: Endgame in 2019.
