How Might Captain America: Brave New World Perform During Its Opening Weekend?

Captain America: Brave New World has the potential to be one of the biggest films of 2025.

The much-loved Marvel franchise has often enjoyed box office success internationally and domestically, as it’s proven popular with superhero fans worldwide.

However, as Chris Evans bids farewell to the iconic character, it is unknown if Anthony Mackie has what it takes to drive audiences to movie theaters, as he has now stepped into the role.

Captain America: Brave New World May Gross Over $87.5 Million

As Captain America: Brave New World is scheduled for release on February 14, 2025, it could set the standard for box office revenue for the year ahead.

At present, betting odds indicate that the sequel could earn over $87.5 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend.

The franchise has enjoyed much commercial success in the past, as it has grossed over $2.23 billion in total internationally.

The most successful flick is Captain America: Civil War (2016), which generated an incredible $1.15 billion worldwide and earned $180 million domestically during its opening weekend.

In addition to seeing Mackie stepping into the shoes of Captain America for the first time, film fans might rush out to watch Harrison Ford play Red Hulk on the big screen.

Also, fans eager to watch the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday (2026) might not hesitate to buy tickets to watch one of their favorite superheroes in action.

As the film had a budget of $180 million, which is much smaller than other Marvel movies, an opening weekend of $87.5 million or above will provide Captain America: Brave New World with a strong start, as it only needs to earn $400 million to secure its profitability.

Could The Film Be a Huge Flop?

Despite the franchise enjoying much success at the box office, some believe the flick won’t prove a hit with audiences this February.

Word on the street is that the film has been plagued with negative test screenings, rewrites, and reshoots.

However, Anthony Mackie has defended some of the film’s reported issues, as he recently said, “Every movie that Marvel has made, every movie that DC has made – Star Wars, Star Trek, Disney – has done reshoots.”

However, Ademilade Shodipe-Dosunmu from Game Rant recently expressed concern about the film’s six credit writers, stating it is “a worrying number compared to past projects.”

Learning about the above might be enough to stop film fans from buying tickets to see Captain America: Brave New World on the silver screen. As a result, it could impact its revenue during its opening weekend.

If the film receives many negative reviews from top critics and movie lovers when it opens, it might struggle to generate the same return as its predecessors.

If this happens, it could follow in the footsteps of other Marvel flops, such as Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumia (2023), The Marvels (2023), and Elektra (2005).

As a result, comic book fans miss Chris Evans in the iconic role. However, a poor box office performance isn’t likely to signal the end of Anthony Mackie’s appearance as Captain America, as he’s expected to appear in Avengers: Doomsday in 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.

If you believe Captain America: Brave New World is likely to total under $87.5 million domestically during its opening weekend, you could win $180 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
