Box Office: 'The Marvels' Scores Low Opening Day In India

Mumbai, November 11 - Marvel Studios' latest superhero movie The Marvels, a sequel to the record-breaking 2019 film "Captain Marvel" opened to one of the lowest numbers in India for a Marvel Cinematic Universe title.

Directed by Nia DaCosta, "The Marvels" opening in India is easily the lowest since the introduction of the MCU's Multiverse Saga back in 2021. The Brie Larson-led movie scored approximately 2.50 crores net in India in all versions, opening below "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" which scored approx. 3 crores net in 2021.



Marvel Movies historically have done well at the Indian box office as six films have scored over 100 crores net collection. "The Marvels" was, however, the least hyped MCU movie in the recent past and it couldn't help itself to rise above the projection, resulting in a low opening.

Opening Day Collection of MCU films in India since the introduction of the Multiverse Saga -

1. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - 3.00 crores net



2. Eternals - 7.34 crores

3. Spider-Man: No Way Home - 32.67 crores

"The Marvels" is the sequel to the highest-grossing female-led superhero movie "Captain Marvel" which grossed over $1.13 billion worldwide, and took the opening of approx. 13 crores net in India and went on to score approx. 84 crores net collection. The sequel is unlikely to top or even come close to the first movie.

The movie stars stars Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, among others. In the film, Danvers, Rambeau, and Khan team up after they begin swapping places with each other every time they use their powers.
