Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe is at a crossroads in terms of marketing and content creation. The latest blockbuster release from Marvel, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," has earned an impressive $120 million in its opening weekend, with a massive social media presence.
Marvel Studios' latest release, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," has taken the top spot at the box office with an impressive opening weekend. The movie generated $120 million in revenue worldwide, with $114 million in domestic earnings. In addition, the film has garnered 704 million views on social media platforms, such as TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
Despite performing slightly lower than its predecessor, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," on its opening day, the movie's $48 million earnings on Friday are slightly higher than the first film almost a decade ago. Comscore, a measurement firm, predicts that the movie [is aiming] for an opening weekend of $110 million, following an impressive $48.2 million on Friday.
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have eagerly anticipated the film, and it has not disappointed. "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" boasts an impressive cast and a captivating storyline that has received nothing but positive reviews.
However, the opinions on whether Disney is losing its audience with the Marvel franchises look divided.
Some sources argue that the decline in audience engagement and quality of recent MCU movies and Disney+ original shows may lead to the end of the empire and that Kevin Feige's woke Marvel approach has ruined the franchise. Others suggest that the decline in box office returns and merchandise sales is due to consumer burnout and the need for quality over quantity and that slowing down the release schedule would give creators more time to do their best.
It is important to note that these are opinions; and not necessarily representative of the entire audience. The Marvel franchise remains one of the world's highest-grossing movie franchises, grossing $26.6 billion.
The marketing and promotional expenses for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" were reportedly around $100 million.
The marketing strategy for the film is not entirely clear. It is promoted: through various campaigns, including trailers, posters, and interviews with the director.
