The Bad Guys topped the box office this weekend (you can read our review by clicking here), and with the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, The Northman, and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent vying for the attention of moviegoers, Morbius has continued to slip down the charts.
Sony Pictures' Marvel Comics adaptation is on track to earn $2.25 million (via Forbes) this weekend, taking its domestic total to $69 million. Globally, Morbius has earned $156 million, a disappointing result even for a movie that only cost $75 million to produce (not including marketing costs).
Will we get a sequel? It's hard to imagine the studio committing to one. After all, convincing moviegoers to return for a second round is always a challenge, never mind when it's a follow-up to a movie that's received widespread negative reviews from fans and critics alike since being released. We could see the Living Vampire in another Sony movie, though, likely as a supporting character
When we interviewed Jared Leto earlier this year, we asked if he'd be interested in donning Morbius' comic-accurate costume down the line. "We talked about it, and decided for the first film it probably wasn’t gonna happen. There are some pretty great examples in the early comics and ideas of where we could go in the future if we suited up. That could be a lot of fun actually."
Did you decide to watch Morbius on the big screen?
