‘THE MARVELS’ is long-range tracking to open to $50M-$75M domestically

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that ‘THE MARVELS’ is long-range tracking to open to $50M-$75M domestically.

Pre-sales trends are currently 69% behind the pace of ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 3’ and 42% behind ‘ETERNALS’.

The promise of Larson teaming up with other MCU characters from the sprawling universe’s streaming series “Ms. Marvel” (Iman Vellani) and “WandaVision” (Teynoah Parris’ Monica Rambeau), alongside Samuel L. Jackson’s return as Nick Fury on the heels of this year’s “Secret Invasion,” could be attractive for fans of the franchise’s Disney+ offerings. Mothers and daughters, in particular, could provide a disproportionately large audience segment for Captain Marvel, which looks to have the most diverse female cast yet for a Marvel film.

Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel was introduced in highly successful and timely fashion back in 2018 and 2019, as her character was teased at the end of Avengers: Infinity War in advance of her solo debut, which benefited from coming out less than two months before the massively anticipated Avengers: Endgame. Captain Marvel would garner a $153.4 million opening and go on to earn $426.8 million domestically.

With few significant, all-audience-friendly tentpoles on the calendar this fall and early holiday season—not to mention a dry spell for wide releases in general in early November—audiences could be feeling some pent-up demand for popcorn entertainment.
