Even with the weight on who the lead is with her activity outside of acting, it doesn't seem to negatively affect how it's to perform financially. Not just with the opening weekend being projected to be around $120 million (highest for an MCU film debuting a main character), but the ticket presales are third for an MCU movie (behind 'Infinity War' and 'Black Panther'), and also ahead of DC movies 'Aquaman' and 'Wonder Woman', according to Fandango.

The last part is especially relevant to what we're talking about, with how track-record and consistency matters. As good as those two did financially (especially 'Aquaman') and how they were received critically (especially 'Wonder Woman'), it could be argued they would've done even better financially if the franchise didn't have the previous bumps that it has, making people wary of immediately wanting to see it (and with the case of 'Wonder Woman', if it had better marketing).
