Superhero film

Paramount's new musical biopic "Bob Marley: One Love" enjoyed the adoration of North American theatergoers last weekend, topping the box office with estimated earnings of $27.7 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported on Feb. 18.

As 2023 draws to a close, no one is sounding the death knell of the superhero movie. The Walt Disney Co.'s "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" made $845.6 million worldwide and Sony's "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" ($691 million) was one of the most acclaimed films of the year. Marvel is still mightier than any other brand in the business.

It was a good news/bad news weekend for "Blue Beetle," the latest superhero film to hit North American theaters and the first built around a live-action Latino protagonist.

The DC Studios/Warner Bros. production topped the charts for the Friday-through-Sunday period and even dethroned "Barbie," that reigning queen of pinkness, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations said on Aug. 20.

"Shazam! Fury of the Gods" topped the North American box office this weekend with an estimated $30.5 million opening, but that represented a sharp dropoff from the original blockbuster and analysts called the result disappointing.

There will be only one T'Challa: Disney paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman on Dec. 10 by announcing that his pioneering role in "Black Panther" will not be recast in the sequel, as the company set out details of its upcoming Marvel superhero films and series.

Marvel's superhero films could lose their most famous character after Sony confirmed Aug. 21 that talks over its deal to share Spider-Man with the Disney-owned studio have broken down.

Walt Disney Co's Marvel Studios on July 20 unveiled a star-packed slate of superhero films for the next two years that includes Angelina Jolie in "The Eternals," Mahershala Ali in a remake of "Blade" and Natalie Portman as a female "Thor."

After a year, full of exciting and remarkable films, as we are anticipating the Academy Awards, a whole new plethora of cinematic works is coming our way.
