In addition to that, WB is releasing the highly successful film “Sinners,” directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan, this very weekend.

Sinners might take a bite out of Thunderbolts

Over the course of its second weekend, the film titled “Sinners” has amassed more than $161 million at the box office and experienced just a minor decrease of 6.3%. Featuring Hailee Steinfeld in its cast, it’s rapidly gaining status as a cult classic.

The film Sinners boasts a staggering 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a 97% approval from fans, and an “A” grade from CinemaScore. It seems the word has certainly gotten around that this movie is excellent, and the buzz about it is spreading rapidly.

Tom Cruise, who recently signed a big contract with WB, also came out in support.

Thunderbolts tracking soft

So far, the viewership for Thunderbolts has been relatively low compared to other Marvel Cinatic Universe films, with The Marvels slightly ahead.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I can’t help but be excited about the upcoming projects from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Following the explosive announcements by Kevin Feige, such as “The Marvels” and “Captain America: Brave New World”, I eagerly await the release of “Thunderbolts”.

It appears that “Thunderbolts” might be serving as a sequel to “Black Widow,” another high-profile Marvel Cinematic Universe film, primarily focusing on the characters played by Florence Pugh and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. However, exploring a girl-centric storyline hasn’t been successful for Feige in this regard.

“Thunderbolts” could be seen as a sequel to “Black Widow,” starring Florence Pugh and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, but attempts at focusing on female characters haven’t yielded positive results for Feige.

Feige subtly hinted at something related to Thunderbolts in his cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday, yet given the projected ticket sales are quite low, Feige essentially has minimal risk involved.
