The Marvels” won’t live up to its sparkling title.The Disney-produced superhero movie, from all indications, will wind up as the lowest-grossing Marvel Cinematic Universe movie in its entire 15-year history.While the film starring Brie Larson, Iman Vellani and Teyonah Parris opened less than a month ago — and has so far grossed a scant $80 million domestically and $197 worldwide — any hopes of it becoming a sleeper hit have disappeared.According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 33rd MCU film’s box office dropped a staggering 78% in its second weekend, and it’s only gotten worse from there.And Variety reported that Disney sent a note to press saying, “With ‘The Marvels’ box office now winding down, we will stop weekend reporting of international/global grosses on this title.”The previous record-holder for biggest MCU loser was 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk” starring Mark Ruffalo, with $80 million domestically and $264.7 million worldwide. The numbers for “The Marvels” are especially dire when you consider the boffo earnings of the studio’s most popular titles: “Avengers: Endgame” ($2.8 billion worldwide); “The Avengers” ($1.52 billion); “Avengers: Age of Ultron” ($1.4 billion).

Disney Town Hall: Bob Iger Has No Big Updates, Tells Rank and File ‘I Knew That There Were Myriad Challenges That I Would Face’
Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Disney CEO Bob Iger focused on instilling employees with renewed optimism about the Mouse House’s “blessed” and “fortunate” state during a virtual company-wide town hall Tuesday, rather than making any proclamations about the company’s future. The event, moderated by ABC News’ David Muir, was held just over a week after the one-year anniversary of Iger’s return to the helm at Disney (Iger hosted a similar town hall exactly a year ago to the day, upon resuming his post last November) following the surprise ousting of Bob Chapek, and on the heels of Disney reporting its most recent quarterly and full-fiscal-year earnings and taking a stumble at the Thanksgiving holiday box office with new animated film “Wish.” When asked by Muir if coming back to the position of CEO has been more challenging than he had anticipated, Iger, who originally ran Disney for 15 years from 2005-2020, said yes. “I knew that there were myriad challenges that I would face coming back,” Iger said.
