Mixed Reviews and Modest Box Office: Assessing the Impact of 'The Marvels'

"The Marvels," the sequel to "Captain Marvel," made $6.6 million in Thursday previews at the box office, significantly lower than its predecessor's $20.7 million. The film is projected to have an opening weekend of $60-65 million, falling below other recent Marvel movies. With a production cost of $220 million, the film's success is uncertain. "The Marvels" features Brie Larson reprising her role as Captain Marvel, alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Teyonah Parris, and Iman Vellani, and introduces new villain Dar-Benn.
