I don't believe this movie saves the MCU and I don't believe, all of a sudden people are going to be flocking to the theaters again for superhero movies. That's not to say there won't be movies that do well in the box office, but I don't believe the popularity will ever be what it once was. I will stay consistent with this take, and I have read plenty of articles and seen plenty of social media comments that line up with my thoughts, the MCU has become way too oversaturated, people are burnt out on the same superhero storylines and now it has become so oversaturated that you can't even understand some of the movies without watching 4 other movies before that one. If you haven't noticed, Star Wars is also heading down this path, GOT will too, and Harry Potter.
6th biggest opening weekend ever and on its way to a billion dollars. The MCU is fine. All the franchises you mention have spinoffs/sequels. I think people show up for good movies and sometimes they don't, but the days of movie stars selling a movie on name alone are done. A "Marvel movie" isn't a guarantee of huge success but they're an unsinkable ship at this point. They can easily withstand online complaints from folks who don't really give a shit.
