Eternals is #1 at box office


For the weekend of November 5-7, 2021, Eternals isn't exactly a bomb for Marvel, but it's not at the level the MCU is used to. Considering that Venom 2 opened to $90 million, and that this opened lower than Shang-Chi ($75), it could be a combination of superhero saturation and that many people still aren't going back to the movies. It doesn't help that Eternals has the lowest score ever for an MCU title (48%). In fact, it's the only MCU title that hasn't had at least 66%.

Kristen Stewart's Spencer wasn't expected to be a hit, so its modest opening is about what was expected.

Speaking on Venom 2, it's on its way to join Shang-Chi as the second movie of 2021 to hit $200 million domestic.
