The Marvels debuted this weekend with record low profits at the box office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The MCU film earned just $47 million domestically, which is the lowest franchise opening of all time.<\/p>\n
However, Avengers: Endgame earned almost 10 times as much with a whopping $357 million during its opening weekend three and a half years ago.<\/p>\n
In spite of this Marvel decided to remain optimistic with its promotions.<\/p>\n

‘#TheMarvels have arrived. Don’t miss the #1 movie in the world, now playing in theaters everywhere,’ the franchise wrote on its official X, formerly known as\u00a0Twitter, account on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Fans were quick to protest Marvel’s declaration, claiming the film was ‘definitely not the number 1 movie’ and that the studio was delusional.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Which world? Your own? Because it sure as hell ain’t this one,’ one user tweeted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘”#1 movie in the world?” I knew that my optician’s appointment was long overdue but thanks for reminding me,’ another quipped.<\/p>\n
A third tweeted: ‘#1 movie in the world? Does this mean i can sue you guys for false advertisement?’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Others felt that Marvel shouldn’t be able to claim the number-one spot due to its low box office results.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Number 1 movie in the world I thought this was the lowest opening of any marvel movie,’ one user tweeted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another wrote: ‘The #1 movie in the world is setting the record for biggest opening weekend flop for the MCU.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans who’ve already seen the movie claimed it was ‘boring’ and ‘the worst Marvel movie.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘The film was boring and didn’t do anything to push the MCU in a good direction, the best thing was the post credit scene with Beast,’ one user stated.<\/p>\n
‘You guys are kidding, right? Just watched it and it’s BY FAR the worst Marvel movie of your history (and I’ve seen them all!). What a shame. I’ve never been so disappointed,’ another tweeted.<\/p>\n
Some disputed that The Marvels isn’t the number one film statistically. Currently, Barbie sits at the number-one spot, as per Box Office Mojo.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile The Marvels sits in spot 41.<\/p>\n
‘According to Box Office Mojo The Marvels is ranked 41. You know you lied and we know you lied. You’re not helping,’ one user pointed out.<\/p>\n
Others noted that even if Marvel was referring to movies currently in theaters, Five Nights at Freddy’s still has The Marvels beat.<\/p>\n
While The Marvels earned $47 million domestically, Five Nights at Freddy’s earned $78 million during its opening weekend and now has $127 million in earnings so far.<\/p>\n

1. Avengers: Endgame – $357 million<\/p>\n
2. Avengers: Infinity War – $257 million<\/p>\n
3. The Avengers – $207 million<\/p>\n
4. Black Panther – $202 million<\/p>\n
5. Avengers: Age of Ultron – $191 million<\/p>\n
‘You watch how they lie. Five nights at Freddy\u2019s is the current #1 movie in the world,’ another penned.<\/p>\n
‘According to Google\u00a0the number one movie at the box office is “Five Nights at Freddy’s” and NOT “The Marvels” LOL,’ a third cited.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because of this, movie goers are calling Marvel a ‘liar.’<\/p>\n
Technically, Marvel is able to claim that it sat at the number-one spot based on this weekend’s box office alone.<\/p>\n
The Marvels made the most out of any movie at the box office this weekend, even though it was only raked in $47 million, while Five Nights at Freddy’s earned $9 million in its third weekend.<\/p>\n
Even still, movie goers feel that claiming the number-one spot on a weak box office weekend isn’t necessarily a boast.<\/p>\n
‘#1 on a weekend when nothing else major opened. Five Nights at Freddy’s has already earned back its budget. This flop never will,’ one wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Bwahahahaha! The Marvels is flopping right now, but hey, it’s the #1 in the world with no competition… so dumb,’ another added.<\/p>\n

‘I see what ya did there.. no competition made it fairly easy to say. But where does it fall within the grand scheme?’ a third user asked.<\/p>\n
What could have also contributed to The Marvels’ lackluster box-office takings has been the Hollywood writers and actors strikes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brie Larson and the other film’s stars haven’t been able to promote The Marvels due to the SAG strike, which ended on November 9.<\/p>\n
The Marvels follows Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), also known as Captain Marvel, after she destroyed the Supreme Intelligence.<\/p>\n
This leads to her powers being split between Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and Monica Rambeau (Lashana Lynch).<\/p>\n
The three unite and become The Marvels in order to take down the new leader of Kree, Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton).<\/p>\n
