The Marvels has been officially named the lowest-grossing installment in Marvel Cinematic Universe’s history.The movie, which stars Brie Larson, Zawe Ashton and Teyonah Parris, was not predicted to perform well in the box office.Against a $220million budget, the movie has grossed just $197million, unlike other Marvel movies such as Avengers: Endgame which made over $2.5billion globally in its opening weekend.The Marvels, which was released on November 10, had the worst debut weekend in the history of MCU, with only $46million in ticket sales.

With only $80million made in North America, the movie is the first of the studio’s films that failed to reach the $100million milestone at the domestic box office.According to CNBC, Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, has recently addressed the struggles that have faced the movie, saying: “The Marvels was shot during COVID.
