‘The MarvelsStream on Disney+ Following Box Office Flop
Despite poor box office performance, experts predict redemption for the film on the streaming platform.
- The Marvels, the lowest-grossing Marvel movie in the modern era, is set to stream on Disney+ on February 7, 2023, three months after its theatrical release.
- The film, directed by Nia DaCosta and featuring Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, and Iman Vellani, grossed about $206 million at the box office, much lower than its predecessor, Captain Marvel.
- Despite its box office performance, The Marvels was well-received by critics and audiences, and experts believe its release on Disney+ could serve as a redemption for the film.
- The film's box office failure has been attributed to factors such as the SAG-AFTRA Strike, general superhero fatigue, and poor marketing from Disney.
- The Marvels follows up the events of Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, and the Disney+ series WandaVision and Ms. Marvel.
