What This Means For Captain America: Brave New World

Week 2 Could Ultimately Decide Its Fate

So far , theCaptain America : Brave New Worldreleaseseems to be performing reasonably well compared to many of its MCU compeer . In improver to debut at roughly the same level asThe Winter Soldier , which ended up clear $ 714.4 million worldwide and became the seventh highest - grossing film of 2014 , its chess opening weekend isset to earn closely double the $ 46.1 million first appearance of 2023’sThe Marvels , which rest the lowest - grossing Marvel moving-picture show of all time . However , it remains to be realize how the Sam Wilson - guide continuation performs by the end of its ravel .

Sam Wilson was in the first place introduced as Falcon inCaptain America : The Winter Soldier , later reprising the role inAvengers : The Age of Ultron , Ant - Man , Captain America : Civil War , Avengers : Infinity War , Avengers : Endgame , The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , and the exalt seriesWhat If … ?

TheCaptain America : Brave New Worldbudgetis reportedly $ 180 million , whichwould belike take it making $ 450 million worldwide for burst even . This may not be possible if it collapses in its sophomore weekend likeAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania , which debut even high-pitched , garner $ 106.1 million , but only made $ 463.6 million by the goal of its ravel . Such a collapse is entirely potential considering the fact that it has not been well - receive by critic or audiences .

Our Take On The Weekend Box Office

Captain America’s Record Was Made To Be Broken

WhileCaptain America : Brave New Worldhad the splashiest debut of the year so far , its muted opening move compared to other MCU hits pee-pee it extremely potential that upcoming 2025 blockbusters will blow it out of the water . However , it could very well hold its disc for another full month , asthe first film that could potentially take its crownwork is Disney ’s live - action remakeSnow White , which debuts on March 21 . If that does n’t happen , it will almost surely be take over by other tentpoles including theupcomingLilo & Stitch , How to Train Your Dragon , Jurassic World Rebirth , andSuperman .
