Not enough mortified: Morbius also flops on the 2nd cinema attempt!

Although in recent months the two Marvel blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness flushed enormous sums into the box office and accordingly also received a lot of media attention, the cinematic failure dominated Morbid what is happening on social media.

As the movie on March 31st started in the cinemas, he was already riding a wave of catastrophic reviews and Morbius could also with the audience (buy now €17.99) not land. This quickly resulted in a series of memes, such as the imaginary quote “It’s Morbin’ Time”, which doesn’t appear in the film at all. But the social media attention had consequences.

Morbin’ Time is over: Morbius fails again at the box office

A photoshopped review by CNN kicked off the rumor that Sony had already put everything in place for a Morbius sequel, pushing the already rolling stone further: The memes were reproduced over and over again and on Discord some users even shared a pirated version of the film – as a joke that the film is so bad that nobody wants to see it for free either.

at Sony someone in charge seems to have either badly misunderstood the presence of the film in social media or thought they could use the negative wave of attention to lure curious film fans to the cinema. In any case, Morbius was allowed to rise from the dead and landed again last Friday in more than 1000 cinemas in the USA.

But it came as it had to: Of course, the film failed again. As forbes reported, Morbius achieved ridiculous at his revival $85,000 in revenue and thus fell far short of the US start of 70 million dollars, which was also already catastrophic – even if this did not result from a single day, of course.
