Eternals may not have broken box office records in North America this weekend, but the movie definitely didn't have the "disappointing" debut some analysts were claiming yesterday.
Arguably the biggest story to come from its debut is the fact that a $161 million global haul is actually the second biggest of 2021 behind only F9: The Fast Saga. That movie was released to $163 million earlier this year, but a sizeable chunk of that total came from China, a country Eternals will not be released in.
Marvel Studios is touting the news that they have the #1 movie in the world with a new TV spot that features a lot of spoilery footage, including shots from the final few moments. Needless to say, you're probably better off not watching if you haven't seen Eternals yet, but if that's the case, why are you reading this? Go see it.
"A powerful, sweeping exploration of love, life, and the MCU’s history, Eternals occasionally stumbles, but when it soars, this is Marvel Studios at its magnificent best," we said in our review.
