But the Marvel movies make more money and sell more merchandise, which is really all that matters.

Don’t be so sure! Top Gun Maverick made more money than any marvel movie last year.
Yes, but I am sure Marvel made it up in volume. There are only so many Tom Cruises on bikes to go around, while Marvel is pumping out something every other week.
They also didn't field a marquee marvel title, and people are suffering a bit from marvel fatigue at any rate.
TIL they made a sequel to Top Gun...
Today? Go watch it, it might still be in cinemas, it's a fantastic movie.

(Disclaimer: I'm a big fan of Tom Cruise's movies, especially the Mission:Impossible franchise)
