The Marvel Cinematic Universe hadn't gambled in a completely new set of characters for a while before Eternals showed up. As such, audiences had high hopes for the Marvel Studios film that featured an ensemble cast with the likes of Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie, among others. The film would go on to disappoint at the global box office, putting in "passable" numbers of $401.9 million. The worst part is that it posted a ridiculously low rating on Rotten Tomatoes, earning the MCU its first rotten score to date.
After such a polarizing stint in cinemas when it first premiered last November, most fans didn't expect too much from Eternals when it finally came to Disney+. But, as it turns out, Eternals ended up being bigger on the streaming platform than it was in theaters.
reports that Eternals is the biggest premiere for an MCU movie on Disney+ ever, breaking the record previously set by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. SambaTV's numbers show that Eternals was streamed on 2 million households within five days of it hitting Disney+. However, it is worth noting that these numbers did not come from Disney+ or Marvel Studios.
