The Marvels Box Office: Marvel Studios' latest offering, The Marvels, took an opening of $6.6 million in the preview shows.
The female superhero flick is projected to earn $60-65 million in the opening weekend, which aren't great numbers for an MCU's ambitious outing.
Brie Larson's solo outing, Captain Marvel (2019), which was boosted by Avengers Endgame's hype, had opened to $20.7 million in Thursday previews. The Marvels' numbers are not even half of that.
Captain Marvel had a weekend gross of $153 million back in pre-pandemic times, while The Marvels will end up chasing half gross after 4 years.
Just for comparison, MCU's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 both made $17.5 million in Thursday previews.
