"The Marvels: Unfortunate Box Office Flop and Critical Backlash Explained"

"The Marvels," the follow-up to "Captain Marvel," has achieved the worst opening weekend in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's history, earning only $47 million in the US against an estimated $220 million budget. The film faced predictions of low box office takings due to "Marvel fatigue," but early reviewers had mixed opinions. While some praised aspects of the film, others criticized it as a "disjointed mess." Despite the disappointing performance, film critic Clarisse Loughrey described "The Marvels" as "marvellous" in her review. The MCU has faced challenges in introducing new characters and creating successful franchises since the record-breaking success of "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019.
