I knew Paramount had found previous success with musical biopics (Rocketman), but I didn't expect Bob Marley: One Love to do this well. However, in a box office climate that's insanely weak, it's great to see a movie getting a lot of people into the theater. Hoping this one hits $100M domestically and finds decent success worldwide.
Also, Madame Web's opening is so bad that it makes Morbius' $39M opening look great in comparison. Even back in 2022, that opening was considered dissapointing compared to projections. This film probably would've done a bit better a few years ago, but now we're at a point where the superhero genre is as execution dependent as everything else. If you don't have a great superhero movie, then you're film is pretty much set up to fail. Though I'm sure Deadpool & Wolverine will do very well.
