Morbius box office disappointment<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

by Rachel and Callum<\/p>\n

Morbius<\/em>, the Sony film starring a spiderman villain, has been a big disappointment at the Box Office since its release in America on 1st<\/sup> April 2022.\u00a0 The film is about a terribly ill guy with a rare blood disorder who tries to cure himself.\u00a0 This gives him super abilities, but also a lust for blood.<\/p>\n

The failure of the film affects the company who made it:\u00a0 there most likely will not be a standalone sequel, and the company will only gain a little bit of money or – depending on how it does \u2013 they could lose some of the $75-83 it cost to make.\u00a0 Many well-known actors are featured in the film such as Matt Smith, Adria Arjona and Jared Leto.<\/p>\n

At the Domestic box office, Morbius <\/em>is failing quite badly, only making around 66 million dollars between opening and today (21st<\/sup> April).\u00a0 So far, other films that were released later in the USA and Canada have done better, like Sonic the Hedgehog 2<\/em>, which made more in its first weekend, taking in 72 million dollars in its opening weekend.<\/p>\n

Morbius <\/em>is not doing that well internationally either, only making around 81 million dollars in the rest of the world, as of now, which is not that good. The full total gross of the film so far globally is around 147 million dollars, which might sound like a lot if you do not know movies but it is small in comparison to other film releases.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s box office disappointment can be traced back to the fact that the original trailer was released two years ago.\u00a0 A wait that long for a film that was delayed is not good for a film, because people forget about it. The trailers released recently were not that well received and got a ridiculously small number of views compared to other films trailers.<\/p>\n

The film was also based on character hardly anyone remembered.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s first impressions were also not that good, with critics saying things like \u201cas bad as you were expecting. 2005 plot collides with visually confusing CGI to create a bit of a snooze fest\u201d (said by Sab Astley) and \u201cMorbius <\/em>is just as disjointed and boring as you expected it to be\u201d (said by Cameron Howe).<\/p>\n

A big nail in the coffin was a score of just 16% from review website Rotten Tomatoes, which made audiences not want to see it.<\/p>\n
