TheBatman is still flying high, crossing the $700 million mark at the worldwide box office this weekend
with “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and successfully spun “Venom” into cinematic gold . But Sony has grander plans to fashion a viable rival to Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a so-so turnout for “Morbius” signals that in order to get audiences to go to theaters, these movies actually have to be watchable.
Given the muted reception from critics and moviegoers , box office experts do not expect “Morbius” will have a fruitful life on the big screen. It’ll face steep competition from younger male ticket buyers as “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” and “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” open in theaters. For the second weekend in a row, Tom Holland’s video game adaptation “Uncharted” and Crunchyroll’s manga adaptation “Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie” took spots four and five, respectively, on box office charts.
The anime film “Jujutsu Kaisen 0,” an unexpected box office champion, earned $1.9 million from 2,070 screens in its third weekend in theaters. To date, the movie has grossed $31 million.
