Box Office: Marvel’s ‘Thunderbolts*’ Rolls in With $31.5 Million Opening Day, ‘Sinners’ Scoring Another Superb Hold
Kickstarting what could be referred to as a fresh franchise (even though many “Thunderbolts” characters have previously appeared in other Marvel Cinematic Universe films), this upcoming release may signal a shift in Marvel Studios’ prominence at the box office. If predictions are accurate, this new movie might rank among the lower openings within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s also possible that its opening weekend earnings will be less than “Black Widow” ($80 million), which starred Scarlett Johansson as an original Avenger and showcased Florence Pugh and David Harbour, two future Thunderbolts characters, along with introducing audiences to the Guardians of the Galaxy, whose debut brought in $94 million.
