US box office top 5 weekend breakdown 1st - 3rd April 2022
Another new comic book character comes to the big screen in an origins story, this time its the less known about Morbius from the Spider-Man comic books which is owned by Sony Pictures.
With the Venom movies being a sizeable hit for the studio this must have seemed like a good prospect to increase the universe, but a critical panning and mad word of mouth could see this stall at a single film.
The movie takes a reasonable $39.1 Million on its debut, but with Sonic the Hedgehog 2 out next weekend, and getting better reviews, the movie could sink fast.
It is the 10th top movie of 2022 after a single weekend of release.
