CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD Takes In $40M On Friday - Second Biggest Opening For A CAPTAIN AMERICA Movie

Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World is now playing, and the movie looks set for a strong opening weekend at the box office. The question is, will it keep packing the theaters?

Critics may not have been too keen on Captain America: Brave New World, but audiences seem to be willing to give Marvel Studios' latest Multiverse Saga movie a chance... for now.

The latest box office updates are in, and the Julius Onah-directed thriller took in $40 million on Friday to give it the second-biggest debut of the four Captain America movies behind Civil War. The film is still on track for a four-day opening north of $90 million through the extended Presidents Day holiday.

A decent start, but can Brave New World continue to pack those theaters? Remember, Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania also opened strong before an unprecedented second-week drop-off, and that 50% on Rotten Tomatoes coupled with a B- CinemaScore - the lowest ever for an MCU movie - are sure to turn off at least a portion of prospective ticket buyers.

On the plus side, there's very little in the way of competition out there for the next couple of weeks, with the possible exception of new Stephen King horror comedy The Monkey, which hits theaters on Feb 21.

A recent report claimed that Brave New World's actual budget is probably closet to $300 million after reshoots and marketing costs, which would mean it would need to take in at least $600M by the end of its theatrical run to earn a profit.

Have you been to see Brave New World yet? Let us know in the comments section, and drop back later on for our poll and spoiler discussion.

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 is now in theaters.

@MakeAmericaGrea - Does it matter? MCU movies have always opened at #1, literally every single one.

@EskimoJ -

You and everyone knows it matters.

If every MCU movie opened at #1, it's because Feige and Disney didn't have enough faith in them to release them on the same day that bigger movies would crush them.

@MakeAmericaGrea - I’m not necessarily pro-MCU these days, but historically other big studio releases tend to shift dates around MCU releases, not the other way around. So it’s true MCU films tend to not have big competition on the same OW, but it’s not because Marvel is running scared. Other studios are scared of Marvel/Disney.

@SheepishOne -

Maybe once.

But because Disney and audiences knew this would be shit, I bet they feared having this open on the same day as a movie that would almost definitely make more money than it.

Word of mouth will be bad.

Because the movie is bad.

Paying for a shitty movie twice because crash boom bang. This is why we can't have nice things.

@DudeGuy - besides Deadpool 3 haven’t seen anything since Spiderman 3. Looks like ass and everything being reported sounds like ass. Am I supposed to waste money and precious time on something that people are saying is just “okay” at best? No one is raving about this movie besides hardcore MCU fanboys who think that company can do no wrong. Stop getting so defensive over silly comments online from faceless people. If you like it that’s cool. Doesn’t mean it needs to be a success for your sake though.

@DudeGuy - If you don't like it, that's cool. You haven't watched a movie since 2021; I'd ask... do you know what the title of this website is?
DudeGuy
DudeGuy - 2/15/2025, 1:00 PM
@MyCoolYoung - my bad I’ll be more specific. Haven’t watched any Disney content outside of those two titles. There’s your crutch for this conversation to continue. Let me guess, you’re responding to me because you have the “How dare you make fun of my precious fictional universe” mentality. Get used to it kid. Life only gets tougher from here on out.

@DudeGuy – First off, I’m not a kid, guy.

Secondly, I’m just pointing out how dumb a lot of y’all sound on here. "I don't want to waste my time watching movies I won't like, but I waste time commenting on movies I'll never see." That’s logical to you?

I’ll discuss the movies—good or bad—with anyone except people who’ve never seen them.

I don’t have any stock in Disney or Marvel. They don’t make me a dime. You can critique them until you’re blue in the face, but criticizing stuff you don’t watch is crazy. You take another person's word to form an opinion on something so subjective then get on the internet and bash it. It don't matter if it was marvel, DC, or severance that shit is dumb, dude guy

@MakeAmericaGrea - lol says the guy who doesn't support Disney, was going to not waste money on it and it only made 12 MM in the last three days. Love it! We don't see race just see your gaping butthole where your mouth should be. Must be hard to get out of the closet with that much mental gymnastics going on

Which one of your parents is trashier?

And how trashy were their parents?

Do you think your kid will be trashy?

Playing by the leftie playbook.

When a leftie can't debate they resort to attacks on a conservative's sexuality.

They can't help it. Their parents are miscreants and they were abused as a child.

@MakeAmericaGrea - lol leftie playbook, this is the problem, you guys have divided your country into two groups and if you not on this side your on the Other. If your "side" were real Christians they wouldn't put Trump and Elon as the captains of the team. Multiple wives, generational wealth through subjegation and exploitation, racists, that aren't going to do anything for you or your parents. Jesus was a brown man and his parents were immigrants/refugees. The billionaire class are who create the divide, the race war and your side is the main stream now so keep preaching what your team tells you and don't have an original thought come through that bigoted head of yours. Trust me you ain't saying anything to me in person magat it's easy to know that. I ain't left leaning or right leaning there is an ideological spectrum and there are great minds across it. Keep letting them tell you what the narrative is and who the bad guys are, and they can keep controlling the populace. Democracy was created by the Greeks, free thinkers who indulged in everything and none of your corrupt politicians, lobbyist and special interests groups have anything to do with democracy. All self interested scum, I would dare you to come say anything about my parents to my face IRL but like them your scum. Stay behind that screen and keep posturing virgin and get bent over by your billionaire leaders that are going to MAGA LOL

@V - @V - Are you feeling ok?

I am very curious, no matter what side you vote on, why no one is just shocked at how much waste and corruption Trump and Elon have uncovered. How is that not more upsetting than repeating the same nonsense for almost a decade. They are signing executive orders transparantly and holding press conferences with the press almost daily to answer questions. What is racist about them?

I assume you aren't from the US but you do realize what side the Republicans were on in the Civil War right?

@V - you are demonstrating exsctly why the Democratic Party is in shambles and keeps losing. Jesus parents were refugees. My God. Snowflake white boys like you are what's killing the comic and superhero movie industry. Let's WOKE it up for the little white whimps so they can deal with their white guilt. Get the fuick out

@V - You love to label people as racist simply for criticizing a movie and calling out WOKE BS. Get over your Left wing white guilt bulkshit. DEI and WOKE is a disgrace and Thank God Trump beat not one but two incompetent morons to win the White House and demolish these Libtard programs.

@DudeGuy - so far the word of mouth on the movie is mixed. Only people who seem to hate it are critics and CBM fans.

@Uspatriot77 - lol I'm not you loser, keep responding from your alt account from the closed room in your parents house. First of all you guys are a cult, it's hilarious how your teams are always right and everyone else is wrong? Delusional much? and I'm not American lol you guys are the laughing stock of the entire work with Captain Underpants shitting tariffs into his diaper. It's hilarious what you are scared of whatever it means to be WOKE snowflake, sucks man that you are threatened of coloured people who took your jobs with hard work lol you probably read at a grade 6 level like one half of America, trust me you wouldn't try me in person bitch boy, if you only knew, I'm not white you will most think in your head, in your social circles and on the internet these thoughts. Keep being afraid of DEI and Wokeness lol wait until the end of the four years and your daddy trump will have blown out the asshole of majority of America. Keep supporting the pedos and you or someone in your family will need to sell their house once they get sick and you will need to go get a job to fight woke DEI hires that slept with your mom cause what you packing is minuscule
