Headline: UNCAPTIONED: The Marvels is Marvel Cinematic Universe's worst opening movie ever

Caption: The Marvels is Marvel Cinematic Universe's worst opening movie ever. Disney’s superhero franchise has provided hit after hit since the release of Iron Man in 2008 - although recent instalments have had a more lukewarm critical reception. The Marvels, which stars Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, has also had mixed reviews and only made $47 million (£38.4 million) in North America in its opening weekend - the worst debut in MCU history. Only two other movies in the 33-film series have opened with box office receipts lower than $60 million (£49 million). The second MCU movie, 2008's The Incredible Hulk, with $55.4 million (£45.3 million) and 2015's Ant-Man with $57.2 million (£46.8 million), not adjusted for inflation. The two most recent Marvel movies, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, both took more than $100 million (£81.8 million) in their opening weekends. The Marvels also only made $63.3 million around the world for a total of $110 million (£90 million) - well below its expected global takings.
