Könnte der Marvel-Film mit den schlechtesten Kinozahlen werden. Der China-Release steht aber noch aus, da haben sie noch keinen der begehrten Release-Slots bekommen.
"But after a middling (for Marvel) start of $80 million in theaters, the film grossed just $26 million at the box office this past weekend, finishing in second place to LeBron James’s comedy “Space Jam: A New Legacy.” Its second-weekend plunge, it turns out, is the biggest of any Disney-released Marvel film, which generally play well for weeks.
The film now stands with $132 million in U.S. receipts over 11 days of release and could wind up as the lowest-grossing Disney Marvel film ever. (A distinction held by “Captain America: The First Avenger,” with $177 million a decade ago.) Most Marvel films exceed $300 million domestic, and many have surpassed $400 million.
“Black Widow” has not fared much better overseas, where it has yet to be given a release slot in China and has struggled in some countries. All told, the film has so far grossed $263 million worldwide, way off the pace set by many of Marvel’s billion-dollar releases."
