Last year the Summer Box Office – which starts the first weekend in May and runs through Labor Day – rose at the beginning, with Universal’s “The Fall Guy” only cuts $ 28 million in the first three days. It was the first year since 2009 that a Marvel film was not on the Lei to start the season.

Marvel films have risen in recent years to achieve the record-different performance of “Avengers: Endgame” in 2019.

While $ 76 million is in the middle of the peloton for the MCU, it is a strong performance for “Thunderbolts*”, Box Office analysts told CNBC.

“To launch an Ensembly from Junior Varsity characters that are not known for many outside the core fan base, and to do this with a sum of the best mouth -to -mouth advertising that the MCU has seen in years of critics and target groups, a new memory of what Marvel’s,” said Robbins.

“Thunderbolts*” currently has an 88% “fresh” rating on assessment aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, from 257 reviews and 94% rating of the public.

“The opening weekend version of ‘Thunderbolts*’ is just the beginning for this well-rated crowd producer,” said Comscore’s Nearabedian. “[It] Seems to follow in the tradition of ‘A Minecraft Movie’ and ‘Sinners’, with long -term playability. “

In recent weeks, Warner Bros.“” To Minecraft Movie “and” Sinners “have lured existing in Moviers, with weekly presence of smaller Dan-Aege. The hope is that “Thunderbolts*” will continue trend.
