After four weeks in theaters, Disney is “hanging up its boots” with The Marvelssequel to Captain Marvel (2019). The 33rd MCU film exposed what seems like an apparent truth: Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe was no longer bulletproof.
Upon its release on the big screen on December 9, the film recorded a debut of $47 million at the domestic box office, thus obtaining the worst debut in the history of the MCU at the US box office.

Now The Marvels is setting a new recordand unfortunately, it is a negative record: the lowest-grossing film in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with $80 million in the US, and $197 million worldwide. And its run in theaters has not officially ended. It has been on display for four weeks, and is expected to continue in theaters until after the new year, a typical season for audiences to flock to theaters, but not even Disney has expectations of that happening as it revealed that it will stop showing report weekly income The Marvels.
In a statement to the press, Disney said (via Variety):
“Now that the box office for 'The Marvels' is coming to an end, we will stop reporting weekend international/global grosses for this title.”
The cost of production of The Marvels was $220 million and another $100 million in marketing costs.

Even so, the other two MCU premieres of 2023, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($106 mdd) y Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ($118 million), achieved a triple-digit debut. Quantum It ended with a global box office of $476 million, and is considered a box office failure of the MCU.
