It was also the highest grossing movie of the weekend.
People don't trust the MCU to make a good movie.
Conservatives are review-bombing the movie for being too ~~"not bigoted"~~ "woke."
The weather was nice in the northeast and people had options for fall activities.
The market is saturated with Marvel content, and even superfans have gotten bored.
Marketing for the movie was limited due to the strikes.
Maybe it's a good movie, maybe it sucks. But you can't really tell anything based on opening weekend. Week 2 will be a better indicator of how good it is.
I'm a marvel fan, but post end game I'm more selective and don't watch all of it. This movie seems to require you to have seen the two shows (one geared towards teens) on top of the previous movie. So I can see why many people skipped it.
I think Marvel needs to go back to individual movies for the heroes without too much or any crossover until an Avengers or team movie
I haven't seen it, but from the characters, it seems like you'll need to watch Ms. Marvel and WandaVision. Both are decent shows if you are a Marvel fan. WandaVision is a trip, even if you aren't a Marvel fan.
Marvel fan here. Wife is sick and we ended up finally watching the last two episodes of Loki this weekend. It would have been better to give at least a week between the two.
I don't think I'd go see The Marvels either way but I watched the end of Loki this weekend too, that's a pretty good argument that there is still room for Marvel content in the world if it's good enough.
