It looks like Marvel Studios’ domination of the U.S. box office continues, with The Marvels—the latest entry in the MCU—opening in the number one spot. Of course… it did also manage to have the worst opening weekend in the history of the franchise, as predicted, with $47 million. Something had to have the worst opening in the franchise at some point, so maybe Marvel can look at this as a “rip the band-aid off” moment and not a “the sky is falling moment.”

The bright spot for Marvel in this, though, is that The Marvels made way more than everything else currently in theaters—suggesting that this may have also just been a particularly slow weekend for theaters. Last week’s winner Five Night’s At Freddy’sTaylor Swift’s Era’s TourPriscilla expanded a little wider but made slightly less money than last week ($4.7 million this week, $12 million total), and Killers Of The Flower Moon
Outside of the top five, The Holdovers jumped way up (from 16 to six) with $3.2 million (the 700 additional screens will explain that), Jesus movie Journey To Bethlehem made $2.4 in its debut (opening a little early for the Jesus season, come on), and The Exorcist: Believer
