As expected, Captain America: Civil War dominated the box office chart on Friday, earning $19.44 million. However, this is down 74% from its opening Friday, which is a sharper-than-expected drop. It will bounce back over the weekend to earn $70 million, but that’s a loss of over $100 million from its opening weekend.

1. Budget: $137,500,000 Sitting firmly in the last place spot is the second MCU film ever, The Incredible Hulk. The film marks Hulk's only solo Marvel Studios movie (at least for now)and is largely seen as a disappointment for the franchise, bringing in just over $260 million at the box office. This 2008 movie came out in the early days of the MCU, releasing a mere six weeks after the smash-hit, Iron Man. Because of its jarringly non-MCU tone and lackluster/disappointing story, The Incredible...

1. Budget: $140,000,000 Next up is another Phase 1 origin story in Captain America: The First Avenger. Chris Evans'World War II adventure garnered a third of a billion dollars at the box office, doing so on a measly $140 million budget. While the other Captain America films would go on to be massive financial successes, The First Avenger sits so low simply because of the relative unfamiliarity audiences had with this character and the overall MCU back in 2011 (aside from the Iron Man movies).

1. Budget: $200,000,000 Starting a string of films on this list that released under unprecedented circumstances is Black Widow. Scarlett Johansson's first solo story for her MCU hero had the burden of being the first Marvel Studios film to release during the COVID-19 pandemic placed upon it. The film grossed just under $380 million at the box office, as a large swatch of moviegoers were still hesitant to head back to the theaters. After multiple delays and a ground-breaking hybrid release bot...

1. Budget: $200,000,000 Another mid-pandemic release came in November 2021 with Chloé Zhao's Eternals. The film grossed a little over $400 million at the box office, and while the movie came amid COVID-19 concerns, audience hesitancy (at least stateside) was nowhere near where it was for Black Widow or even Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. That is why this movie can be seen as a disappointment at least from a numbers perspective. It should have been Marvel Studios' big return to the...

1. Budget: $150,000,000 At 26 is the most significant success of Marvel Studios' COVID-19 era (aside from the juggernaut known as Spider-Man: No Way Home), aka Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. This film broke pandemic records for the studio, making $432 million on a $150 million budget. Introducing the world to Simu Liu's Shaun (Shang-Chi) as he rediscovered his family heritage and became a Marvel superhero. Being another origin story, Shang-Chidid not rake in the enormous numbers s...

1. Budget: $150,000,000 While other Thor films would eventually go on to be resounding box-office successes, 2011'sThormarks a low point (at least financially) for Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder. However, this - like Captain America: The First Avenger before it - can likely be attributed to the film being a part of Phase 1. Thor was a relatively unknown hero coming into his Marvel Studios debut, so it would take a couple of appearances before Hemsworth's Asgardianwould have the same box off...

1. Budget: $130,000,000 Marking the first film on this list to cross the $500 million mark is Peyton Reed and Paul Rudd's Ant-Man. This Phase 2-closer came just months after the world took in Joss Whedon's Avengers follow-up, Age of Ultron, reportedlydelivering a $103 million profit for Marvel Studios. It was a fun comedy but it didn't reach the financial highs of other Marvel Studios films of the time. This could be attributed to it being a bit of a "palate cleanser" after the Avengers seque...

1. Budget: $186,000,000 Back in May 2008, the MCU started off with a bang with Jon Favreau's Iron Man. The Marvel Studios debut was released to the 11th-biggest opening weekend of all time (at the time), and the third biggest opening of 2008 (behind Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and The Dark Knight). Iron Man was a proof of concept and moviegoers ate it up. The film brought in $585 million at the box office and spawned an entire cinematic universe that is still going on t...
Worldwide gross: $621,156,389
1. Budget: $170,000,000 Jumping $40 million above its predecessor is Iron Man 2. The first MCU sequel was the first sign of what was to come for the franchise, starting a trend of box office growth that (while dipping at points) would grow consistently up until the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. The movie saw Robert Downey Jr., Jon Favreau, and Gwyneth Paltrow all back for more Marvel action, while also introducing MCU icon Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow(played by Scarlett Jo...

1. Budget: $130,000,000 Ant-Man and the Wasp marks another Marvel Studios sequel that outdid its last film. While Ant-Man came hot off the heels of Age of Ultron, Ant-Man and the Wasp had an even loftier task of following the events of Avengers: Infinity War. While grossing over $600 million at the global box office, the Paul Rudd-starring sequel was put into a hard place, jumping back before The Snap seen at the end of Infinity War and again featuring a hero that remained as one of Marvel's...
