A sequel to a boring original film, with a very dull protagonist, does badly? Can’t figure out why that might have happened.
Because nobody wants to watch Brie Larson act like a pick me for 90+ mins.
I didn’t even know this movie was made, let alone released.
I am convinced that every studio needs a CRCO. A Chief Reality Check Officer whose job is to slap everyone else’s hand and say “No! Enough!”
What a terrible terrible click bait title. There is no Captain Marvel 2. It’s *The Marvels*
Thing is, they know how to make movies that actually work. But the risk is too big because the Superhero Genre is a dying breed. They’re just milking it: low effort, low cost, see whatever sticks.
Box office returns mean less than merchandising and tax write-offs.
Plus, they probably had some contracts with writers and actors and after-effects studios and so forth that they were obligated to fulfill.
Don’t think for a second they planned to make a $1B+ movie. They won’t even care if it doesn’t run a profit.
Otherwise they would’ve made a good movie happen.
The strikes have really hurt their ability to promote it early too
