The topic of this post is legs. The respectable end result or the hypotheticals about how much it could've done in closed markets are irrelevant. The fact is that Multiverse of Madness had godawful legs and a run similar to Batman v Superman.

Oh, please. It has a B+ on Cinemascore and a 60 on Metacritic. Other films did just fine and even exceeded expectations in spite of the pandemic, war, and recession. Multiverse of Madness had a mixed-to-bad reception and it was the Marvel Studios brand that pushed it close to a billion, that's all.
