Jared Leto Morbius memes

Social media may have successfully memed Morbius back to cinemas. The movie, which was released on 1 April, was delayed a total of five different times ...

"All of the actors believe in processes. Even though as he's alive and strong, it has to be a difference. However, it's safe to say that Morbius wasn't well-received by fans, with brutally honest reviews and one of the worst-ever Rotten Tomatoes scores after premiering.

The meme parodies the wild enthusiasm often seen in Marvel fans, the joke being that Morbius is a mediocre, forgettable comic book movie, but is celebrated online as a critically acclaimed masterpiece. Are Sony execs, still struggling to understand the concept of irony, going to greenlight a Morbius 2? Hence, the movie was re-released in theatres, only to flop even harder, earning a hilariously low $85,000 on Friday. Amusingly, fans jokingly predicted this would happen.

Morbius has had a rough return to theaters so far, bringing in just $85000 on Friday. Sony likely brought the film back to theaters after seeing a renewed ...

But it turns out that a meme’s popularity doesn’t directly correlate to genuine interest — who could’ve guessed? Morbius was originally released on April 1st and wasn’t the most well-received. The film made just $85,000 on Friday after making a return to over 1,000 theaters, bringing its domestic cumulative to $73.6 million (via Forbes).

Earlier in the week, Sony announced their plans to bring their vampire/superhero-ish movie Morbius back into theaters this weekend.

[Correction: 12:12 PM ET: This post previously said that the film was coming to theaters again on July 1. But the bigger issue is that it’s trying to be in on the joke in a very “dad using slang he heard from his kids” way. After pretending to hide it from the camera person, the title page is shown: Morbius 2: It’s Morbin’ Time, written by Bartholomew Cubbins. “It’s Morbin’ Time,” if you’re not aware, has become the memetic phrase used whenever the film’s been brought up on social media.

Morbius flopped at the box office after reopening in theaters, and Twitter is finding it hilarious.

Even if Jared Leto's Morbius doesn't earn a sequel, that's not to say the character won't return in other projects. Then again, this is the same studio that decided to re-open a failed film and green-lit Bad Bunny's El Muerto - a character with only two comic appearances - so nothing can be ruled out. The attempted reopening may well have been a test to see if these memes would be able to make Morbius 2 viable, but this logic was flawed in itself. Sony should take any money they made off of Morbius and run because a sequel will do half of what the first did if they are lucky." Sony's latest flop has developed into something of a viral trend as it has been widely meme for the fake "It's Morbin' Time" line - even major brands like KFC and GFUEL got in on the joke. Who would have thought a film that failed as badly as Morbius could keep cropping up in the news over two months after release?

The Marvel superhero flick stars Leto as a terminally ill scientist who transforms into a bloodthirsty monster. Since it landed in cinemas on 1 April, the movie ...

It would be like ultimate corporate lack of self awareness." "Morbius 2 would be so incredible," they wrote. Since it landed in cinemas on 1 April, the movie has been roundly panned by critics and fans alike, scoring just 17 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Sony's re-release of Morbius in response to a surge of internet memes around the Marvel title resulted in the movie once again flopping.

Morbius of course was originally supposed to come out way back in 2020 but COVID ended up delaying its release for two years. The wild success of Venom and its sequel prompted Sony to continue building out its Spider-Man Universe with more titles. Morbius flops again at the box office after internet memes prompted Sony to re-release the film.
