Captain America: Brave New World box office

[Mysteryman]

Well Said.
Pity.
I Liked the film.

 

[psylockolussus]

Its box office performance is actually not that bad. Its the highest grossing film of the year, at the moment, in North America. Worldwide, second behind the Chinese film. I think the Captain America branding helped it. If this was just Marvel Studios' Falcon, that would have been a hard sell.

But I still think making a "legacy" movie without the original Captain America wasn't a good decision for starters. Its just shows people aren't really that interested to superhoes passing their mantle to someone else and carry the title through their own solo film. Sam Wilson wasn't an interesting character in the previous movies as well, so that's quite a problem when they made someone into a lead character, only to get outshone by Harrison Ford.

Goddamn, $14 million in China. And yeah, $400 million on a reported $180 million budget isn't a total bomb, but it very much lost money.

They are absolutely going to blame it on Mackie as the lead. Which frankly, is a part of the reason for it bombing in China. But, I think, releasing a Captain AMERICA movie, given the chaos being currently being unleashed, was always going to kill the international numbers. And I think the low reviews killed its weekday numbers.

In hindsight, Marvel Studios should have released BP3 or DS3 last month. They would have helped Thunderbolts* and Fantastic 4 this summer.

The success of the Minecraft movie doesn’t surprise me that much.

Its based from one of the highest selling videogames of all time and it features Steve!

I can't say the movie did much worse than I expected since I was voting at the under 500 million mark. So yeah, this is about right. A painfully low total and especially since that reported budget seems questionable.

Getting passed by the Minecraft movie almost instantly isn't a shock. It is such a huge property and certainly seemed to commit to what it wanted to be.

 

[psylockolussus]

It did a little better than I expected to, in North America. I was predicting $170 million.

But even before then, a Captain America movie without Steve Rogers, well Chris Evans, wasn't really going to do that well. Anthony Mackie's Falcon isn't also a fan favorite if I'm not mistaken.

With good reviews, maybe it could have went up as high as $550 million. They should have ended the Captain America movies with Civil War.

Captain America: Brave New World​

Captain america brave new world did what it needed to do Domestic.
It made over 200 million dollars,something that half of the films in phase 1 did not do.
It was the International audience that did not come out enough for it to at least break even or more.It should have made over 225 million International.
Grifters are saying the break even point is much higher like over 600 million and so far the break even point has not changed but they are hanging on that incorrect rumor for the budget being 350 million or higher and clearly it's lower then 200 million. It's 180 million but they can't let that go.
They need those videos saying that the mcu and disney is losing money incorrect non-sense.

Anyway it is close to the break even point so that's still good news,so clearly it was not a bomb and it will make it's money back really fast this year.
Those grifters do not like news like this.

Nevermind the fact you're comparing this movie to movies that came out 14+ years ago.

Like john campea would say most movies today would love to make 200 million dollars and one of the reasons i mention those phase 1 movies because the budget is comparable as well.

Movies happy to make 200M dollars don't have a budget of 180M dollars (and I doubt that's the real budget for Captain América 4).

Captain América 4 would make 415-420 WW, but it only reached these numbers because it didn't have competition for many weeks.

Thor 1 and captain america 1 had budgets of over 100 million.
Thor 1 budget is closer to brave new world but Domestic both made less then 200 million but it is the International part that saved them and that's for most big budget movies. The problem and the point i was making is that International helped thor 1 and captain america 1 at the box office while for brave new world did not,and it was close but it did not happen.

 

[mace1]

If russia and ukraine by the way were not at war this movie most likely would have broken even if it open there.

 

[psylockolussus]

Adjusted for inflation, those 2011 movies you've mentioned have attracted more movie goers.

The main problem is Sam Wilson as Captain America isn't just appealing compare to the numerous Marvel lead we've seen in the past. Then the movie being terrible didn't help its case.

And lastly, like most international markets, the numbers from Ukrainian and Russian cinemas, would have been down too compare to the 2010s. You made it sound like those two countries would boost the movie's numbers by a large margin if there was no war.
