https://t.co/T0JbwxRbsyIman Vellani speaks out on The Marvels' box office:
"I don't want to focus on something that's not even in my control, because what's the point? That's for Bob Iger."
"I'm happy with the finished product, and the people that I care about enjoyed the film. It's genuinely a good time watching this movie, and that's all we can ask for with these films."
MCU came out in 2008 when Millenials were around the same age as the MCU is now to Gen Z. I am on the older side of the Millenials generation, as I was 24 when it came out.clearspira wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2023 10:55 pm 87% drop for The Marvels in week 2. Its opening weekend gross is $47 million domestic, $110 million with worldwide sales. Of particular note is how it only made $11.7 million in China whereas the first film made $89.3 million.
Edit: There also seems to be an interesting trend emerging. The MCU appears to be losing Gen Z. Less than a fifth of the audience was younger than Millenial. An interesting development given how Ms Marvel was clearly marketed towards the younger demo.
You may not agree with my opinions on why the movie failed but let's make peace and put that aside. This is disasterous for the MCU and Disney. The golden goose has been laying eggs made out of lead. And make no mistake, bringing back Hugh Jackman and RDJ is just a sticking plaster. They aren't getting any younger.
And for what it's worth I do agree regarding the girl who played Ms Marvel. She deserves another chance. It would be a shame for her career to end thanks to crappy writing.
Aye. I just can't help but think that the MCU is a Millenial property just as Star Wars is a Gen X property. Oh, that doesn't mean everyone else cannot enjoy it, but I think that those moments where they had become our cultural zeitgeist was fuelled by those generations in particular. Now both have taken up their place as "just another thing" rather than being an event.McAvoy wrote: ↑Sun Nov 19, 2023 4:30 amMCU came out in 2008 when Millenials were around the same age as the MCU is now to Gen Z.
