6) Would you consider Black Widow a successful Hollywood blockbuster? Why?Compared to the other movies that Marvel has produced throughout their 13 yrs of being owned by Disney, Black Widow is not nearly as successful as the movies to come before it. However it did have very different circumstances to the others. This is because Black Widow came out during the Pandemic so it's very difficult to judge it's success. Yet overall it was a huge success for a Marvel film that was put out like this as it earned $379.8 million USD in the box office. However it is also known as one of  Marvel's least successful films;so it is arguable if it was borderline successful or not. Yet in my opinion it is it was a successful film despite the circumstances.
