The fourth “Thor” movie had a 68% drop in its second weekend, accumulating around $46.5M. That makes the Taika Waititi-directed movie’s second weekend the worst in MCU history, besting (or worsting) the succeeding weekends for “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (-67%) and “Black Widow” (-67%). Spielberg warned us about this in 2015: We might now be at a crucial moment in the MCU where only “Spider-Man” can produce pre-pandemic numbers. Disney must be panicking. The mouse house has “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” due out in November, that one will not make as much money as the original since all three of the main actors, the late Chadwick Boseman, Daniel Kaluuya and Michael B Jordan, won’t be a part of that sequel. Even critics are starting to turn on Marvel. It used to be that between 2008-2019 almost every MCU instalment would be gushed over with positive reviews. That’s somewhat starting to change — critics haven’t been as receptive to “Eternals”, “Black Widow”, “Doctor Strange into the Multiverse of Madness”, and “Thor: Love & Thunder.” Contribute Hire me
