Will Captain America: Brave New World Make Money At The Box Office? New Estimate Offers Idea About First Movie Without Chris Evans

by

By February 2025, when “Captain America: Brave New World” is due to be released on the movie schedule, it will be nearly nine years since the last standalone Captain America film and almost four years since “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” premiered on Disney+. Given these significant events, there’s a lot of curiosity swirling about how much Anthony Mackie is expected to rake in during the debut of his first solo Cap adventure.

If Quorum’s (as reported by Deadline) initial box office predictions prove accurate, it would serve as a delightful Valentine’s present from fans to Marvel Studios and Disney. The upcoming Captain America film is estimated to generate a 3-day opening of around $86 million to $95 million. Considering that this weekend includes the President’s Day holiday, there’s a possibility that these figures could be further boosted by an additional day’s worth of ticket sales.

Compared to the opening weekends of the Chris Evans Captain America trilogy, Brave New World’s debut doesn’t reach the highest point on the chart. However, when considering various factors, this latest installment ranks quite high in terms of its performance. Here’s a look at the opening weekend history for Captain America so far:

1. Captain America: The First Avenger – $65 million
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier – $95 million
3. Captain America: Civil War – $179.1 million (opened as part of a Marvel Cinematic Universe event)
4. Avengers: Infinity War – $258 million (Cap had a supporting role in this film, which opened as part of an MCU event)
5. Captain America: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (TV series) – N/A (not a theatrical release, opening weekend figures not applicable)

  • Captain America: The First Avenger – 7/22/11 – $65.1 mil.
  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier – 4/4/14 – $95 mil.
  • Captain America: Civil War – 5/6/16 – $179.1 mil.

With all the cards out in the open, it’s clear that expecting a record-breaking success for the upcoming Captain America film might be unwise. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is currently experiencing some turbulence, and we’re on the verge of seeing a new actor take on the role of Captain America. Adding to this uncertainty, the information available about Captain America 4 suggests that director Julius Onah’s production has faced some challenges in its development.

Fans and critics alike are still digesting the news of significant reshoots for “Captain America: Brave New World,” with many unsure about its implications. Additionally, there have been whispers that the film hasn’t fared well with test audiences, which could explain the extensive revisions. Consequently, if Anthony Mackie’s big-screen ascension manages to garner opening numbers more akin to “The Winter Soldier” rather than “The First Avenger,” it would certainly be a pleasant surprise.

If you’re curious about which movie might challenge others during the Valentine’s Day/President’s Day weekend, there’s only one film that could potentially create a dilemma. Given that the US release of Paddington in Peru falls within the same timeframe, this jovial Peruvian character may make parents, and even some grown-ups, hesitate when deciding which movie to watch.

Without a doubt, it’s evident that Marvel is poised to dominate this upcoming weekend at the box office. On the other hand, Paddington Bear seems to be building up quite a momentum for a triumphant future. This promises an engaging 2025 box office showdown, so we should all keep some popcorn handy and stay tuned to the ticket sales.

You don’t have to possess top-secret clearance to obtain the service record for the Captain America franchise. No visit to Camp Lehigh (what remains of it) is necessary either. All you require is a Disney+ subscription, along with some time on your hands to watch the earlier films that depict Chris Evans’ journey to the shield and its subsequent transfer to Anthony Mackie.

It’s feasible to catch up on all Marvel movies sequentially if you’re determined, but I wouldn’t procrastinate too much as there are quite a few films to get through before the release of Captain America: Brave New World, which hits theaters on February 14th. Given that’s a relatively short timeframe, it might be a bit of a marathon to watch them all.
