Captain America: Brave New World box office

[AndrewGilkison]

We are definitely not getting any more solo Captain America movies for the foreseeable future.

Edited above but let me say here it's clear that this movie will not be like the marvels,the flash,black adam,eternals or joker 2 since the budget is lower(180 million) and it will be closer to the break even point(425 million)and will make it's money back quicker if it flops.

Captain America: Brave New World's Box Office Officially Passes The MCU's Biggest Bomb's Entire Gross In Just 1 Week

One week after its release, Captain America: Brave New World's worldwide earnings have reached $208 million, surpassing The Marvels' $206 million total earnings (via Box Office Mojo). Captain America: Brave New World still has a long way to go before it breaks even, but passing the MCU's biggest box office bomb in exactly one week is a positive sign. Captain America: Brave New World's second weekend drop will provide more information about the movie's possible totals.

I haven't seen this much spinning since the last sign holder I passed while driving. I mean, it's not entirely spin since it's true, but that's about the lamest way to spin this film doing so poorly, saying it's doing better than the actual lowest grossing MCU film!

For context Antman made 500mil TEN years ago....ten years later some are happy with a Cap film scraping 400mil..

And that's for the best. There shouldn't have been a CA4 without Steve. If there were willing to gamble on a Captain America 4 legacy movie with Sam Wilson, they should come up with a solid script worthy of a Sam Wilson movie. The movie we got wasn't it. Its an Incredible Hulk sequel ish without Bruce, which is another layer of problem for the movie.

The Marvels bombing is still shocking but another bomb like that could still happen in the MCU. So whenever these other films like Captain America legacy movie, don't flop as the same numbers that the Marvels got, there should be some relief for Marvel, as the worst numbers might already happened.

That being said, these numbers could have been avoided if they were as consistent like they were in Phase 3. I think its important for Marvel Studios to take these hits or else they would continue to release a ridiculous amount of projects per year and not get the lesson of sometimes less is more.

Good, hopefully it shows them you can't just slap a title and another character in a suit and succeed. I know Sam/Falcon became Cap for a bit in comics but it was never warranting a movie.

Passing the torch/title is always going to be a challenge. And idk why Marvel Studios ventured into this gimmick so early in the MCU.

I'm sure you are right. At the very least we won't be if they go at it like this again. If the best idea for a Captain America movie is a Hulk sequel without the Hulk...try something else.

Passing titles around has never felt great to me, but I especially didn't see the need here. And the results are what they are. People will just not go to the movies if there isn't something they want to see. And this movie just doesn't have that widespread appeal. Not sure if Sam as Captain America gets another solo movie. Or if they shelve the whole thing until they bring back Steve Rogers in whatever way (money truck to Chris Evans or recasting).

$400 million is far from a perfect result.
But, it’s better than “Box Office worse than The Marvels? The MCU is, DEAD!”

Marvel Studios still have to date Doctor Strange 3, Black Panther 3, X-Men reboot, Deadpool & Wolverine 2 and Shang-Chi 2. If Fantastic 4 does well in July, there should be a sequel. And if the 2quels I mentioned do well too, then thats 3 more 3quels.

Post-2025
1. Doomsday
2. Spider-Man 4
3. Secret Wars
4. Doctor Strange 3
5. Black Panther 3
6. Shang-Chi 2
7. Shang-Chi 3
8. Fantastic 4 2
9. Fantastic 4 3
10. X-Men
11. X-Men 2
12. X-Men 3
13. Deadpool & Wolverine 2
14. Deadpool & Wolverine 3
15. Avengers 7
16. Spider-Man 5

They still have plenty of options, and these films could fill up Disney's slate up to the mid 2030s. Idk what they were thinking moving forward making a Captain America 4 without Chris Evans and that line up they have for Thunderbolts. And obviously, they wouldn't greenlit those two without thinking about potential sequels, they probably did. We could have DS3, A5 and FF instead for this year.

Its really too bad, Deadpool & Wolverine managed to gross over 1.2 billion just last year. Not even 1 year later - CA4 and Thunderbolts would struggle to hit the 500 million mark worldwide.

Ìts going to take a long while for this film to hit the $200 million mark in North America, if it ever makes it there.

Wow, box office for these films really is a different beast these days. A long way before they are regularly/reliably making a good profit again consistently (if ever).

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Flies Towards Global Box Office Frontier Thanks to Low Competition

Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World entered its third week of release with a fresh achievement under its belt. The superhero movie recently passed the $300 million mark at the worldwide box office after experiencing a hefty fall in its second weekend. But average audience response and mixed critical reviews seem to be coming into play now, as it struggles to attract crowds despite facing little competition. Brave New World is running uncontested in most territories across the world, but it's still among the lowest-grossing MCU movies of all time.

With $163 million domestically and another $178 million from overseas markets, the film's cumulative global haul now stands at $341 million. Brave New World has so far overtaken only The Marvels, which happens to be the biggest bomb in the MCU's history, and The Incredible Hulk, which was released back when the franchise wasn't the humongous cultural touchstone that it later became. In fact, Brave New World is still trailing Black Widow, which was released in the thick of the pandemic and had a major chunk of its box office revenue offset by a day-and-date release on Disney+ for a premium fee.

The movie was produced on a reported budget of $180 million, which is on the lower end of the spectrum as compared to the more recent MCU films. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is largely seen as an underperformer with a $470 million worldwide haul, cost more than $300 million to produce. As did The Marvels, which tanked with under $200 million in global box office revenue. Hits such as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 also cost over $250 million each but ended up grossing around $850 million globally.

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Leads Muted Oscar Box Office Weekend With $15 Million

Oscar weekend is a slow weekend for the box office, as Marvel Studios’ “Captain America: Brave New World” easily held on to the No. 1 spot with a third weekend total of $15 million.
That’s slightly better than the $12.8 million third weekend of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” back in 2023, a weekend in which “Creed III” was the No. 1 film and pulled premium format screens away from Marvel. With a running domestic total of $164 million, “Brave New World” is back on pace to pass $200 million domestic, though finishing in break-even territory is still the best-case scenario with a running global total of just $341.8 million

I think the best comparison we should be comparing CA: BNW is to CA: First Avenger which had a budget of 140-150 back in the day and I think if you compare it/spin it that way I would say BNW is doing pretty good…

Box office numbers have already peaked in the 2010s, unless inflation hits more then we would be waiting several decades for a new peak.

Disney really should go back to releasing 2 Marvel movies maximum per year, or else Captain Marvel won't be their only Marvel IP to gross less than $300 million worldwide. I also only think lowering the budget, should be an option but I don't want newer mcu movies to look visibly cheaper than the previous Mcu movies. Post-F4, focus on the sequels and make the X-Men big in the movies again.
