"The Marvels" has proven to be the worst-selling live action adaptation yet

It's been a week, but the Daily Wire's reported that the sequel to the very woke Captain Marvel movie from 4 years ago has crash landed quite badly:
Disney’s latest superhero movie “The Marvelscontinues to be a box office disaster as the female-led film suffered the worst second-weekend drop of all time for Marvel Studios.

The Brie Larson-led Marvel Cinematic Universe film fell 78 percent in box office performance for its second weekend out and is currently tracking as the worst second-week showing for any modern day Hollywood superhero film, the Hollywood Reporter reported.

“The Marvels” is a sequel to the 2019 film “Captain Marvel” and has managed to beat out the previous holder of the worst dropoff from opening weekend held by the third film in the “Ant Man” franchise, “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” which experienced a 69 percent drop. The new Marvel film failed to meet expectations its opening weekend with the box office estimates lowered before the release from $75-$80 million in projected ticket sales to just $60-$65 million, as previously reported. Opening weekend proved worse, with the movie earning just $47 million, and the showing is officially being called the worst debut in MCU history, Variety reported.
Earlier, John Nolte on Breitbart noted that women stayed away in droves:
Now that the Disney Grooming Syndicate’s The Marvels is a bonafide box office catastrophe, we can expect the usual-usual lies about how this is all the fault of racist Trump supporters, all the fault of everything except a lousy movie with unappealing stars running around pointing at terrible CGI in a spent franchise that has worked overtime to alienate fans by taking a dump on everything they once loved about that franchise.

Except.

The science does not back that up.

Here’s a breakdown of the suckers who went to see The Marvels this weekend….

Other diagnostics on The Marvels: 65% male leaning, with 45% men over 25, 22% women over 25 (giving it the best grades at 82%), men under 25 at 20%, and women under 25 at 14%. Biggest demo was 25-34 at 33%. Diversity demos were 36% Caucasian, 27% Latino and Hispanic, 17% Black, and 14% Asian.

“Male leaning.” Man alive.

So even though women outnumber men in the American population by a point or two, it is men — men! — who overwhelmingly went to see The Marvels while the ladies stayed at home.
When the movie makes its leads as unsexy as the star herself is insufferable, and even normalizes Islam at one of the worst times possible, you can't be surprised many sensible women don't want to see it. Of course, even many left-leaning women obviously weren't interested either. Which just goes to show how Hollywood's also way too reliant on the notion leftists will care.

Anyway, it's time to retire the whole franchise already. And when the comics medium is doing as badly as it is now, it's ludicrous anybody should care more about the movies when the comics are being abandoned to destruction, as they have for 2 decades already.

I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
