Box Office: 'The Marvels' Scored A Low First Weekend In India and Worldwide

Mumbai, November 13 - Marvel Studios' latest superhero movie The Marvels has a low weekend at the Indian box office which is a shocker. Marvel movies have historically done well in India but the same is not the case with the latest flick which even failed to beat the pandemic hit "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings".

The sequel to the highest-grossing female-led superhero movie "Captain Marvel" scored just approximately 6.40 crores net collection in all versions in India in the first 3 days. "Shang-Chi", which previously had the lowest opening weekend for an MCU title since the multiverse saga in India, scored approx. 10.60 crores net.



"The Marvels" took the opening of 2.50 crores net which is again the lowest since the introduction of the multiverse saga. The trends didn't improve on the second day (Saturday) as it remained flat and dropped on Sunday after the arrival of Salman Khan's "Tiger 3" to dismiss its chances of having some sort of outcome.

The Brie Larson-led film was the least hyped Marvel Cinematic Universe title in a long time which pretty much sealed its fate at the box office as it couldn't rise above the low expectations in India.

It was not only India where "The Marvels" massively underperformed, the situation was pretty much the same all over the world as it failed to beat the pessimist box office projection to gross just $110 million (920 crores) worldwide over a 5-day weekend. At the domestic (North America) box office, the sequel grossed just $47 million (390 crores) over the 3-day weekend.

"The Marvels" has a production budget of approx. $275 million and with not-so-good word of mouth, it might not be able to cross the budget to end up being one of the biggest box office bombs in the MCU.
