I saw it was as low as 52% a little later too, but it looks like the fix is in and Disney was able to pay some shills to bump it up to 59% with 131 reviews.
Look at the Top Critics though. Those 38 are the ones least likely to be on the take. It's only at 42% among them.
This movie is fuckin' DOA.

Hitting the Lamestream News now boys...
CNBC: ‘The Marvels’ is probably headed for one of the worst MCU box-office openings ever
Quote:
Initial predictions saw “The Marvels” opening to between $75 million and $80 million domestically, but those figures have shrunk to a range between $60 million and $65 million in recent weeks.
False. Those figures are now $45 to $55 Million.
BoxOfficePro actually has their prediction quite a bit lower than that only 2 days before release at $35M-$49M.

nd-journey-to-bethlehem/
Quote:
The only MCU films that have opened lower than $60 million have been 2015's “Ant-Man” and 2008's “Incredible Hulk.”
False.
With inflation considered, Ant-Man opened to $74,312,760 and Incredible Hulk opened to $71,960,387.
Quote:
Disney and Marvel Studios have struggled to reconnect with audiences in the post-“Endgame” era.
False.
Disney and Marvel Studios have actively turned hostile to the actual fanbase, even before the End Game era, and the rest of the normies are bored of anything superhero that isn't Spider-Man or Batman.
Quote:
So far, “The Marvels” has a soft score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics particularly ripped the film’s script, calling it “paper thin,” “charmless” and “pandering in all the wrong places.”
"Soft" is certainly one way to put it.
Though Disney managed to pay enough shills that will be replaced by AI soon to bump the Tomato score to fresh at 62% last night, it was 52% yesterday evening. If you click on Top Critics, they give it 41% out of 39 reviews.
Even by bumping it up to 62% with paid reviews, it still doesn't move it up a single spot on the history of all 33 MCU movies at Rotten Tomatoes. It is still 3rd from last, only above Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) and The Eternals (2021), and below Thor: Love and Thunder (2022).

And you know it's bad when the freakin' Daily Beast says its bad...
‘The Marvels’ Is Another Fiasco in Marvel’s Road to Ruin
https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/the-marvels-review-yet-another-
fiasco-in-marvels-road-to-ruin
If you said about the original Captain Marvel movie what Daily Beast is now saying about The Marvels, they would have called you a woman hating racist.
In fact, that's exactly what they did on March 6th of 2019:

I'm loving 2023. Thanks Joe Biden*. We couldn't have done all of this without you.

Looks like The Marvels only sold less than 1/4 the amount of tickets in France that Captain Marvel sold.

Let's make this a worldwide flop, shall we?

It dropped back to 59% on RT just a moment ago, but wouldn't you know it another fresh review came in and bumped it back up to 60%.

NYT: ‘The Marvels’ Review: You’ve Seen This Movie 32 Times Before
Quote:
This is the 33rd movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which continues to expand even as its cultural interest and resonance diminish. “The Marvels” will dominate the box office, of course, at least during its opening weekend, just because it will flood theaters. It’s pointless complaining, I know (believe me), but it’s frustrating what weak tea this movie is because the director, Nia DaCosta (“Little Woods,” “Candyman”), has talent, the cast is appealing, and there’s a lightly gonzo scene that shows you what the other 100 minutes could have been. It’s almost as if the suits at Marvel Studios know it doesn’t matter if their movies are any good.
Brutal.
A female critic at the NYT in November of 2023 sounds exactly like me for the last 5 years regarding superhero flicks.
Thanks again to Joe Biden* for making this all possible. Maybe he really is managing to bring us all together.

Uh Oh!
Preview Thursday take for the Marvels $6.6 Million.
Preview Thursday numbers for other Marvel movies since the back half of 2021:
Black Widow (07/08/2021): $13.2 Million
Shang Chi (08/02/2021): $8.8 Million
Eternals (11/4/2021): $9.5 Million
Spider-Man: No Way Home (12/16/2021): $50 Million
Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness (05/05/2022): $36 Million
Thor: Love and Thunder (07/07/2022): $29 Million
Wakanda Forever (11/10/2022): $28 Million
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (02/16/2023): $17.5 Million
Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3 (05/04/2023): $17.5 Million
If you want to see comparable preview numbers to The Marvels, you've got to look elsewhere than even the new Marvel failures. We've got to look to DC.
Shazam II (03/16/2023): $3.4 Million
The Flash (06/15/2023): $9.7 Million
Blue Beetle (08/17/2023): $3.3 Million
I'm looking forward to the headlines blaming straight white males for this failure, especially from the outlets I've posted above that were shitting on the movie themselves.

The Marvels being a good time feels like a bit of a surprise.
For one thing, Marvel has recently seen an uncharacteristic streak of stinkers. Eternals was a beautiful bore. Ant-Man: Quantumania was a horrendous experience. Thor: Love and Thunder was three good jokes in a trench coat masquerading as a movie. Add to that a bunch of Disney+ shows that are growing increasingly exhausting to keep up with and a main villain — Kang — who feels like the embodiment of a physics lecture (played by an actor facing domestic assault charges), and you get a studio that seems to have lost its mojo. As such, the expectations for The Marvels weren’t very high.
That’s all a bit of a shame because of how fun and charming The Marvels really is.

Go watch Grace Randolph's review on YOUTUBE or the one on DEADLINE.com, you can tell they gave it great reviews because they're 'access' media. They're both such suck asses for the studios, I bet Randolph's 2nd home back in the day was the casting couch.
