Presales for The Marvels are currently tracking below DC’s The Flash and Black Adam.
According to a recent article published by Deadline, The Marvels is now looking to make less than $70 million during its opening weekend, which will put it below Eternals, a 2021 MCU movie that opened at $71.2 million. Deadline also says that presale tickets for The Marvels are currently tracking below 2023’s The Flash and 2022’s Black Adam, which respectively opened to $67 million and $55 million.
Captain Marvel, in comparison, made $153.4 million during its 2019 opening weekend before it went on to gross $1.128 billion at the worldwide box office.
The Marvels, which opens on November 10, 2023, was previously tracking to make $50-75 million during its opening weekend, according to Box Office Pro, before Deadline reported it could be between $75-80 million. The latest report putting it below $70 million means The Marvels could be one of the lowest openings for an MCU movie.
