Captain America Soars High with Projected Box Office Dominance

by Sarah Feb 20,2025

Captain America: Brave New World surpasses expectations, raking in an estimated $100 million domestically during its Presidents Day weekend debut.

Comscore reports the latest Marvel Studios film grossed approximately $88.5 million across 4,105 theaters over the three-day period, projecting a four-day total of $100 million. Adding its impressive $92.4 million international earnings, the film boasts an estimated $192.4 million global weekend box office.

Deadline reveals a production budget of $180 million, with a break-even point estimated at $425 million globally.

This strong opening places Captain America: Brave New World as the fourth-highest-grossing Presidents Day release, trailing only fellow superhero films: Black Panther ($242 million), Deadpool ($152 million), and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($120 million).

Despite mixed critical reception—IGN awarded it a 5/10, criticizing its lack of originality and underwhelming plot despite strong performances from the cast—the film's success is crucial for Marvel. Its performance will determine if it can reverse the recent downturn in MCU box office returns (excluding last year's highly successful Deadpool & Wolverine), setting the stage for the upcoming releases of Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
