Deadpool & Wolverine: $438,300,000
The Marvels: $206,136,825
Madame Web: $100,298,817
(Yes, I know Madame Web isn’t an MCU movie.)

Because those were the last two comic book movies and the ones that started the whole “comic book fatigue” dialog.
That “fatigue” conversation started way way earlier, at least with Eternals
