The Marvels Officially Ends Run As Lowest-Earning MCU Movie

Considering that Captain Marvel was infamously review-bombed and that the film went on to earn over a billion dollars, an early narrative emerged that The Marvels was just getting trash-talked by angry men online, causing bad word of mouth and subpar box office.

However, Deadline reports that 65 percent of the audience was men. Interestingly, Deadline also reports the earlier film Captain Marvel had a 61 percent male audience in general. The percentages are obviously close, but this lends credence to the observation that it was actually female audiences that seemed to stay home rather than see this distinctly feminist girl power sequel.
