The Disappointing Performance of Marvel's Latest Film
In recent discussions regarding Disney's latest cinematic release, the conversation has taken a critical turn. There's a shared sentiment that the film was not expected to perform well, and indeed, it has fallen flat at the box office. With a reported budget of $180 million—which many believe is a deceptive figure—the film's true costs are speculated to hover around $350 million, a significant financial burden for Disney. The marketing budget, supposedly around $100 million, also seems underestimated given the extensive visibility Captain America has received.
