Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World may have lost the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office to action comedy Novocaine (it's now in third place behind Black Bag and Mickey 17), but the latest MCU movie is still holding up fairly well.

According to the latest BO updates, Brave New World took in $1.5 million on Friday for a domestic total of $186 million. This puts the $200M milestone in view, with a $400M+ global total a definite possibility.

It's not a bad showing for a movie which has underperformed since opening strong on February 14, and despite mostly negative reviews and a franchise-low B- CinemaScore, the fourth Captain America movie - and first with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) wielding the shield - is hanging in there.

Some analysts predict that Brave New World may struggle to reach $400 million worldwide by the end of its run, but others believe it will likely top out at the $405-410 million range. The latest MCU movie had a reported production budget of $180M, but this is before marketing costs, and there is a possibility that the actual budget could be closer to $300M after extensive reshoots (this has not been confirmed).

Even going off the initial $180M budget, the movie would probably need to make $540 million to break even, based on industry standards that say a film must gross 2.5 to 3 times its budget to turn a profit.

#CaptainAmerica    did $1.5M on FRI holding well and off just 30% from last FRI. 5th wknd shd be nearly $6M pushing domestic #boxoffice cume to $186M putting $200M within reach. Shd finish with multiple of 2.25x its opening wknd.

#Novocaine opened #1 FRI with $3.9M incl all pre-shows THU & before. CinemaScore is B while RT aud score stronger at 88%. Opening wknd #boxoffice shd reach nearly $9M with avg below $3k. Will be smallest gross for #1 movie in THIRTEEN MONTHS! (Argylle, $6.3M, FEB 9-11, 2024)

Fight scenes were a lot of fun. Enjoyed the core cast. Plot was meh and the Leader was terrible. 6/10

Mrtoke - 3/15/2025, 12:04 PM

@Wahhvacado - I like how this is the general consensus.

Malatrova15 - 3/15/2025, 12:10 PM

@Wahhvacado - Sabra was the highlight , she Is a very valuable Ally to the USA

Wahhvacado - 3/15/2025, 12:12 PM

@Malatrova15 - Sabra was distractingly short in this role.

dragon316 - 3/15/2025, 1:08 PM

@Wahhvacado - isn’t plot and story to all comic movies same ? Good vs bad , bad rule world try kill hero have chaos

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 3:36 PM

@dragon316 -

Not necessarily. Not all comic book movie villains what to rule the world.

But I get what you mean.

And there is more nuance than that.

Apophis71 - 3/15/2025, 5:03 PM

@dragon316 - No

Mrtoke - 3/15/2025, 12:03 PM

The action in this movie was good for the most part. Need a better director and better writers.

If Thor gets a sequel, then so should this.

Wonderland56 - 3/15/2025, 12:40 PM

@Mrtoke - Big agree.

JacobsLadder - 3/15/2025, 12:06 PM

just stop it. holy cow. have some respect.

bobevanz - 3/15/2025, 12:08 PM

Well folks it just might break even. Looks like all the naysayers were wrong. Marvel is back! We love mediocre movies! I love wasting my time! Woo hoo!

Malatrova15 - 3/15/2025, 12:14 PM

@bobevanz - Mackie has Never say thank you ..not even once ...he Is very disrespectful of the role

jackbauer884 - 3/15/2025, 12:18 PM

@bobevanz - No break even.

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 3:38 PM

@bobevanz -

How do you figure it might break even?

After some re-releases during the next thousand years?

vectorsigma - 3/15/2025, 12:19 PM

Im geeking out on Ne Zha 2. Who watched it??????

Wahhvacado - 3/15/2025, 12:25 PM

@vectorsigma - That looks incredible! I'm unfamiliar with this franchise, should I check out the first one?

vectorsigma - 3/15/2025, 12:28 PM

@Wahhvacado - yes! Im ready for the Ne Zha cinematic universe. It has 3 films already including this.

A great palate cleanser from all the hollywood sloo these days

Wahhvacado - 3/15/2025, 12:29 PM

@vectorsigma - I'll definitely check them out! Thanks for the shout out in the comments, looks like you are putting me on to something special

vectorsigma - 3/15/2025, 12:32 PM

@Wahhvacado - oh man, it is great i tell you. Ill watch it again on Monday. Btw, havent watched jiang ziya (2nd movie) yet but will do tomorrow and i have no doubt it is great too

Wahhvacado - 3/15/2025, 12:33 PM

@vectorsigma - Awesome, let me know your thoughts!

vectorsigma - 3/15/2025, 12:35 PM

@Wahhvacado - sure!

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 3:39 PM

@vectorsigma -

I'll watch it one day.

I'm glad you like it. 🙂

GirshwinDavies - 3/15/2025, 12:21 PM

My favorite was Goiter Thompson

ModHaterSLADE - 3/15/2025, 12:24 PM

Not the most exciting MCU flick, but overall I enjoyed it.

Nonameforme - 3/15/2025, 12:32 PM

So essentially there's no way it'll even break even

TheVisionary25 - 3/15/2025, 12:35 PM

Not too bad for a movie that is deep in its run , has competition and was frontloaded…

However this is also the lowest grossing movie weekend of the year so far with movies like Novocaine ,Mickey 17 & Black Bag underperforming aswell.

It’s not just Marvel but the box office in general is in a slump right now and has been usually since the Pandemic.

AllsNotGood - 3/15/2025, 12:48 PM

jackbauer884 - 3/15/2025, 1:02 PM

@AllsNotGood - What are you celebrating? Its still low.

HistoryofMatt - 3/15/2025, 12:53 PM

LOL.

RitoRevolto - 3/15/2025, 12:55 PM

I still say it wasn't nearly as bad as everyone tried to make it out to be. That Hulk plot definitely needed to be left on the cutting room floor.

dragon316 - 3/15/2025, 1:08 PM

Someday I will see it at home eventually

GeneralZod - 3/15/2025, 1:32 PM

The fact that a movie which -- let's all be honest -- none of us will ever view a second time ended up at about ~ $400 million globally (1) is an achievement in itself and (2) shows how much audience goodwill Marvel still has in the tank. When they finally get back to writing good stories with interesting characters, we'll see those $800MM+ hauls once again.

harryba11zack - 3/15/2025, 1:40 PM

sequeal confirmed

ToldYaSo - 3/15/2025, 2:22 PM

@harryba11zack - Did you mean squeal?

harryba11zack - 3/15/2025, 2:29 PM

@ToldYaSo -

marvel72 - 3/15/2025, 1:47 PM

How is this movie breaking even? Do you honestly believe this movie only cost $180 Million dollars? This movie is a box office disaster and to think any other way you are in denial.

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 3:47 PM

@marvel72 -

Everyone saying $180 million is lying and trolling.

CAPTAINPINKEYE - 3/15/2025, 2:04 PM

This movie made what it deserved.

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 3:48 PM

@CAPTAINPINKEYE -

More than it deserved.
