Los Angeles, November 11 - Marvel Studios' latest tentpole The Marvels is tracking to score the lowest opening ever for a Disney-backed Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film, after grossing just $6.6 million in Thursday previews. ## The $6.6 million preview gross is one of the lowest in the MCU in recent times, just one notch above "Ant-Man" (2015, $6.4 million). "The Incredible Hulk" has the lowest previews of $2 million for an MCU title in the preview era, but that’s when previews began at midnight.## According to Deadline, the "Captain Marvel" sequel is tracking to earn between $47 million and $55 million in the domestic (North America) opening weekend, which makes it the lowest opening ever for a Disney MCU title. "Ant-Man" is currently the lowest MCU title ($57.2 million) under Disney.## Depending on where the final weekend gross stands, "The Marvels" could have the lowest opening ever in the history of MCU, a record which is currently with 2008's "The Incredible Hulk" ($55.4 million). It was backed by Universal Pictures at that time before Disney owned it. ## Meanwhile, the Brie Larson-led "Captain Marvel" opened to a huge $153.4 million in North America on its way to earning a massive $1.13 billion worldwide, not adjusted for inflation, in 2019. It stands as the highest-grossing female superhero movie of all time. ## Stay tuned...

DC's 'Blue Beetle' Box Office Projection Revealed

Los Angeles, August 8 - Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studio will look to put the recent box office failures as the studios are gearing up for the next DC Superhero movie "Blue Beetle" on August 18. The movie was once considered for direct digital release, but things got changed after many at Warner Bros. believed it could turn out to be a potential box office blockbuster.## The box office prospects of the movie are also looking brighter as compared to what it was tracking nearly a month ago. The Angel Manuel Soto-directed pic is touted to be very hot with Latino and Hispanic moviegoers, on the box office tracking. ## According to Deadline, the Xolo Maridueña-led superhero movie is tracking $30 million in the opening weekend at the domestic (North America) box office. The current projections are much better than the earlier projections of a $15 million debut. ## "Blue Beetle" is tracking lower than "The Flash" which opened at $55 million in June this year, but that movie hugely underperformed due to all the negativity around it and it couldn't recover from its low opening weekend and ended up as a box office failure for Warner Bros.## Deadline reports that "Blue Beetle" aimed at Hispanic and Latino moviegoers who can over-index in their first weekends due to walk-up business. There is a high chance that the movie could open to the higher end of the projections as it has more awareness than some of the recent movies which surprised trade with very good starts. ## In Blue Beetle, Xolo Maridueña stars as Jaime Reyes, a recent college grad that returns home with aspirations for his future, but finds out his home is not the same. As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab.## Stay tuned...
