CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD Passes $150M At US Box Office; $300M Worldwide

Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World has passed a couple of domestic and global box office milestones, but the movie is going to have its work cut out if it hopes to climb much higher...

After a strong opening, Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World was hit with a sharp second-week drop, but the movie is holding (relatively) well as it heads into its third weekend in theaters.

Despite mostly negative reviews and a B- CinemaScore (the lowest for any MCU movie so far), the fourth Captain America movie - and first with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) wielding the shield - has managed to pass $150 million in the U.S., and $300 million worldwide.

Brave New World had a reported production budget of $180M, but this is before marketing costs, and some believe the actual budget would be closer to $300M after extensive reshoots. Even if this is not accurate, the movie may still struggle to make much of a profit by the end of its run.

Even so, this is a positive sign that Marvel may not have an outright flop on its hands. Would that be good enough for Kevin Feige and the studio higher-ups? Highly unlikely!

Have you been to see Brave New World? If so, what did you think? Let us know in the comments, and check out a new behind-the-scenes video featuring Mackie and Harrison Ford along with a recently-released clip of the Red Hulk battle below.

After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

Captain America: Brave New World also stars Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Xosha Roquemore, Carl Lumbly, with Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford. The film is directed by Julius Onah and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore. Louis D’Esposito and Charles Newirth serve as executive producers.

Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World opens is now in theaters.

Wow just millions more to go to make a profit with its budget, and then it will have to cover the marketing budget.

@MakeAmericaGrea - Ant-Man 3 made like $80k+ profit. Will see how much profit this film will make.

@MGSSnake1988 -

Including marketing costs?

And did the movie itself make a profit, considering Disney didn't keep all the money from ticket sales?
MGSSnake1988
MGSSnake1988 - 3/1/2025, 1:24 PM
@MakeAmericaGrea - Checked it out, and it made $80k+ out of its almost $400 million budget.

Not sure if it incudes the marketing costs as well.

@MGSSnake1988 -

Quantumania.

Budget
$388.4 million (gross)
$330.1 million (net)

Box office
$476.1 million

Theater owners kept a lot of the money.

Disney didn't pocket $476.1 million.

And the marketing budget may have been $100 million.

@MakeAmericaGrea - There's an article on Forbes.

Don't know how to post an image here in the comments but the article has a breakdown of Ant-Man 3's expenses and its profits. Hope this helps.

@MGSSnake1988 -

If true, $88,236 or whatever profit, wow.

A takeaway from this is Disney should never been allowed to make one penny from their crap.

Boycott them until they shape up.

@MakeAmericaGrea - lol that budget was massively inflated to get the 60 million plus in UK tax credits. As I've said before anyone who believes the Budget numbers on it or the Marvels or Indy 5 are just plain gullible.
MGSSnake1988
MGSSnake1988 - 3/1/2025, 2:13 PM
@MakeAmericaGrea - No need to boycott them. Something great can come out, regardless.

If John Wick 4 can earn more than The Marvels back in 2023, it's not a problem.

Unless their future films all tanked a la Lionsgate 2024, which is unlikely.
Methos5000
Methos5000 - 3/1/2025, 2:20 PM
@MGSSnake1988 - right, like I been saying, all the ones shot in the Usk have inflated budgets to get the massive tax credits. Does anyone actually believe that the Marvels and Quantumania were their most expensive movies to make?
MGSSnake1988
MGSSnake1988 - 3/1/2025, 2:24 PM
@Methos5000 - Judging by how those films looked like, they don't exactly pass out as $300 million blockbusters.

Spectre had $300 million as well, and that cost is seen in that film.

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/1/2025, 2:27 PM
@Methos5000 -

The Marvels and Quantumania did't necessarily have to have the highest MCU budgets.

But the budgets were high due to reshoots.
Methos5000
Methos5000 - 3/1/2025, 2:45 PM
@MakeAmericaGrea - no they weren't, and they were mostly shot in the volume or with green screen. The talent budget was also VERY low. The budgets are not real. They are inflated to get the credits and to screw profit sharing.
MakeAmericaGrea
MakeAmericaGrea - 3/1/2025, 2:45 PM
@MGSSnake1988 -

There is definitely a need to boycott them.

That's one of the best things people can do to get them to make better things.
MakeAmericaGrea
MakeAmericaGrea - 3/1/2025, 2:49 PM
@Methos5000 -

The Marvels, Quantumania, and Brave New World are not great financial successes.

And they still suck and Disney sucks, and Disney should be boycotted, whether their worst movies lose $200 million or make $800 million.
Methos5000
Methos5000 - 3/1/2025, 6:54 PM
@MakeAmericaGrea - yet you still see them and never shut the [frick] about them?

If fhis film is about the new leader of the Avengers with the new team in it, an Incredible Hulk sequel with the Hulk in, and a Multiverse story with Multiversal elements in it, it would've made money.

About time for the MCU to stop releaskng films from its own Roger Moore 007 era and deliver something like The Spy Who Loved Me.

The Mutiverse Saga is like watching The Man with the Golden Gun twenty times without the fun, the charm, and amazing villains.

@McMurdo - Would've gone wifh A View to a Kill, but it had Christopher Walken, the Duran Duran song, and the Golden Gate ending.

The Man with the Golden had Christopher Lee, and it's boring.

@MGSSnake1988 - I love Christopher Lee.....but I completely agree.

@McMurdo - Dude served during WW2, met Tolkien and Ian Fleming, acted in a lot of known films and franchises, and recorded heavy metal.

Huge respect for him.

@MGSSnake1988 - I'm a gigantic fan of the original 1973 The Wicker Man. It's such an eerie, terrifying film....sometimes more thematically than anything but the idea of fanatical belief in whatever leading to groups or individuals taking extreme action in the name of faith, both a relateable human notion considering our propensity for religion and also a terrifying one for the very same reason. He's fantastic as Lord Summerisle. And then what he did with Sarumon. The dude is just an icon. One of the very greats.

@McMurdo - Haven't seen that one yet. The remake with Nicolas Cage is just bad.

I like The Wicker Man and Christopher Lee too.

@MGSSnake1988 - don't you mean release their The Living Daylights? Their Spy Who Loved Me would be SM: NWH or GotG3.

@1stDalek - They're not in their Timothy Dalton era yet. If NWH would be their Spy Who Loved Me, then GotG3 and D&W would be their For Your Eyes Only.
MGSSnake1988
MGSSnake1988 - 3/1/2025, 11:00 PM
@ProfessorWhy - Real or fake, those wouldn't save a boring film.
1stDalek
1stDalek - 3/2/2025, 5:07 PM
@MGSSnake1988 - but they're also not in their early Moore era, The Spy who Loved Me is practically a fluke in a string of bad movies.
MGSSnake1988
MGSSnake1988 - 3/3/2025, 12:14 PM
@1stDalek - They are. Endgame felt like the MCU's On Her Majesty's Secret Service on steroids.

Then Phase Four happened. It transitioned from the wackiness kf Diamonds Are Forever to the lifelessness of The Man with the Golden Gun. That carried until recently, hence the comparison.

If you think all this stuff is good, it can still be better.

But we all have to stop giving these companies money.

When they are hurting for money, that is when they'll make movies, shows, games, comics, books, theme parks, music, etc. better.

Are you saying because entertainment companies are allegedly providing entertainment in 2025, we should give them money, even if the entertainment is not enjoyable or barely enjoyable?

Yeah, people should take this advice.

You've had hemorrhoids since you were a baby.

I'm not being rude, it's the truth.
