This weekend, it’s expected that “Captain America: Brave New World” will continue to lead at the box office. However, it’s also predicted to experience one of the sharpest declines ever for a Marvel Cinematic Universe film. According to Deadline, the movie is projected to earn approximately $28 million domestically in its second weekend, which represents a significant 68% drop from its opening weekend. Although this hold is stronger than the drops seen by “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” (70%) and “The Marvels” (78%), it still places it near the bottom when compared to all other titles in the franchise.
Several Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films are comparable to “Captain America: Brave New World,” as they fell within a similar rating range of 67% to 67.8%. This group encompasses “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (67%), “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (67.5%), “Thor: Love and Thunder” (67.7%), and “Black Widow” (67.8%). If “Brave New World” continues to perform as it has, it may secure the third-lowest box office drop among all MCU films.
The movie titled “Captain America: Brave New World” had an impressive start to the year, earning $100 million in the U.S. during the extended Presidents’ Day weekend. Yet, signs suggested it might not be one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s highest grossers. Its earnings from early screenings were less than those of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” suggesting a more modest opening. The film received mixed reviews, which may have affected its box office performance negatively.
Based on certain elements, there was an anticipation that the movie Brave New World would have a large opening weekend, with predictions suggesting it could earn over $30 million. Interestingly, despite its production budget of around $180 million – which is actually smaller than many recent Marvel films – the expectation was for a strong start.
Despite the prospect of Brave New World still earning profits during its cinematic release, this recent development is nonetheless disheartening for Marvel. The film holds significant value within the grand narrative of the Multiverse Saga, as it introduces Sam Wilson as the future leader of the Avengers. Critics have lauded Anthony Mackie’s portrayal in the leading role, but Marvel and Disney may have anticipated a more impressive audience turnout to fuel anticipation for the MCU’s upcoming projects.
Following the release of Endgame, several Marvel productions have struggled to leave a lasting impression, causing Disney to adjust its production plans in an effort to revitalize its flagship franchise. Unfortunately, it appears that Brave New World will not serve as the catalyst for this turnaround.
Brave New World” may maintain its No. 1 spot for another week because no major movies are set to release next weekend. However, it might start losing its position after that, as “Mickey 17” by Bong Joon-ho (already receiving positive feedback) is due out in early March. Luckily for Marvel, there are more chances for a comeback later in the year. “Thunderbolts” seems promising as a entertaining summer blockbuster, while “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is creating a lot of excitement. Here’s hoping that “Brave New World” will just be a minor setback in what could be a very successful 2025 for the franchise overall.
*Please note that Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four: First Steps are fictional titles as I am an AI and these movies have not been officially announced by Marvel Studios.
