Marvel’s “Thunderbolts” opens the summer movie season with solid $ 76 million box office debut

Marvel Studios’“Thunderbolts”Was opened with $ 76 million in national entrance sales, according to Studio Sunday’s estimates, giving the starting shotthe summer box officeWith a solid number 1 debut that fell shy from Marvel’s most spectacular throws.

All eyes had been if “thunderbolts” (a antherois team rejects the “advances”) could restore the Walt Disney Co. Superhero factory for the box office type that the studio enjoyed once so regularly. The results, similar to the debuts of “The Eternal” ($ 71 million) and “Ant-man and the Wasp”, suggested that Marvel’s upset will not be so easy to leave.

Some expected a larger opening for “thunderbolts” because of the good mouth at the mouth of the movie. Unlike the most recent MCU entries, the reviews (88% fresh in Rotten Tomatoes) have been excellent for “Thunderbolts”, led by Jake Schreier and starringFlorence PughDavid Harbor and Sebastian Stan. The audience gave him an “a-” cinemascore.

This type of response should push the movie to a strong business in the coming weeks. Although the largest MCU films, including the “Deadpool vs. Wolverine” of 2024 (with a opening of $ 211 million on the road up to 1.34 billion dollars worldwide), they have monopolized the movie screens immediately, “Thunderbolts” could meet with more jobs. Or he could go down like another example of Marvel struggling to reactivate his golden touch.

Marvel spent about $ 180 million to produce the movie, which added $ 86.1 million in sales abroad. The film also mocks the next chapter McU, “The Fantastic Four: First Sts”, which is on July 25.

“Marvel established the bar for so many years that a $ 76 million opening may seem to have done $ 100 million or something,” said Paul Dergarabedian, Comscore’s media analyst. “This is a great reset. They are hitting the reestablishment with” thunderbolts “. The big reviews and the word word should keep it (in) good place.”

The Walt Disney Co. Nor maybe I would not have expected so much competition Ryan Coogler’s “sinners”. The launch of Warner Bros., who had directed the box office in the last two weeks, continued to remain well. In its third week, it accumulated $ 33 million, only 28%.

“Sinners”, a 1932 vampire movie about Bootlegging Brothers (both performed by Michael B. Jordan) that open a Juke joint in their native Mississippi city, has shown a spring sense in theaters. He has raised $ 179.7 million nationally and $ 236.7 million so far.

Warner Bros. also took third place with“A Minecraft movie”Smash Hit video game adaptation. In the fifth weekend, he traveled $ 13.7 million to bring his north -American dirty about $ 400 million. Around the world, it has added $ 873.4 million. Warner Bros. added “Block Party Edition “Programs over the weekend for a” meme-along “experience. The film has seen some Tiktok-inspired filmmakers screenings.

Its launch brought some closure to one of the largest Hollywood tragedies. The distributor who advanced the films did not report the box office, but the estimates suggested that “Rust” obtained approximately $ 25,000 in 115 theaters.
