Marvel Studios/Walt Disney

Remember the bright light that Captain Marvel was when she showed up to herd Tony Stark to safety in the first few minutes of 2019 Avengers: Endgame? Well, judging by the forecast for Carol Danvers’ latest weekend, that light has dimmed. Disney/Marvel Wonders It’s headed toward an estimated $110 million-$115 million global opening through Sunday, which marks the lowest start ever for a Disney MCU title worldwide.

As we noted in the preview, this sequel was already expected to see low returns. With a few days now in his pocket, WondersIts projected international box office opening of $80 million fell to the neighborhood of $60 million. Currently, from what we can see, the Brie Larson film starring director Nia DaCosta is at around $25 million as of Friday overseas.

As Anthony noted, the house is looking at between $47 million and $52 million. There is confusion and overexposure surrounding the title, which includes elements from the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel And WandaVisionbut, unlike its predecessor, it doesn’t benefit from being something new and/or the connection between them Infinity War And game over.

Although we’ve already lowered our hopes for China, it now looks like that market will come in at just under $15 million for the three-day weekend, despite the film having received early notice of its certified release. There is no Maoyan score at the moment, but critics are harsh on Douban at 5.4. To be fair, China has proven increasingly difficult across the board.

We will have a full update tomorrow.
