A drop in the bucket for a nearly $300 million movie.
The Big Picture The box office for The Marvels is going to need to fly higher, further and faster than ever before to recoup the massive budget assigned to the movie by Disney, as the company has recently disclosed. The Marvel Cinematic Universe outing which will star Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani serves as a sequel to Captain Marvel, WandaVision and Ms. Marvel.
While a portion of The Marvels unfolds in outer space, the bulk of the filming took place at Pinewood Studios and Longcross Studios, both situated in the vicinity of London. Additional scenes were captured on location in Italy and the United States. The production successfully concluded in May of the previous year, with the most recent financial statements being compiled approximately four months thereafter.
The standard multiplier when taking marketing and additional costs, as well as exhibitor shares of ticket sales, means a movie tends to require 2.5x its budget in order to return a profit from box office alone, which means The Marvels will need to hit around $550 million before it's in the black. Captain Marvel grossed $1.
