Move Over, Red Hulk - CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD Will Face PADDINGTON IN PERU In Theaters Next February

Sony has announced that Paddington in Peru's U.S. release has been pushed back to next February, meaning it will now go one-on-one at the box office with Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World.

Much has been said about Captain America: Brave New World's supposed reshoots and test screenings; regardless of what's really gone on behind the scenes, we'd be shocked if Marvel Studios risks releasing another Eternals or Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania to kick off 2025.

Beyond the rumours, how non-fans and casual moviegoers react to the new Captain America and the fact screen icon Harrison Ford is playing a Red Hulk will be very interesting.

Now, though, we've learned that Captain America: Brave New World will have some serious competition over Valentine's Day and Presidents Day weekend in North America. Sony has just moved StudioCanal's Paddington in Peru from January 17, 2025 to February 14, 2025. 

That's proven to be a good weekend for Sony in previous years as 2018's Peter Rabbit opened with $25 million before hopping its way to a domestic cume of $115.2 million. 

The Paddington franchise isn't quite as popular in the U.S. as it is in the UK, for example, but the first movie opened to $18.9 million in 2015. The critically acclaimed sequel earned $11 million three years later. 

So, how much of an issue for Captain America: Brave New World will Paddington in Peru actually be? It certainly won't bother the MCU movie for #1 that weekend, but The Falcon and The Winter Soldier follow-up could lose some families who instead decide to take their children to this threequel. 

In the UK, the next Captain America movie will also be forced to fend off Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy; those movies are huge on that side of the pond, so Marvel Studios needs to pull out all the stops in the months ahead to increase excitement for Sam Wilson's first solo adventure. 

In case you missed it, you can watch the latest Captain America: Brave New World trailer below. 

In Captain America: Brave New World, after meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam Wilson 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 stars Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Xosha Roquemore, Carl Lumbly, with Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford.

The movie is directed by Julius Onah and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore. Louis D’Esposito and Charles Newirth serve as executive producers.

Captain America: Brave New World opens in U.S. theaters on February 14, 2025.

@AllsGood - We're not talking about Deadpool & Wolverine here, but about a Captain America movie with no Steve Rogers that has had no good test screenings after 3 attempts and countless reshoots.

@Urubrodi - Captain America: Brave New World don't need the Angry White Men money to be Successful. We have a Hulk.

@AllsGood - Hulk is not confirmed to be in the movie (considering how bad Smart Hulk has been maybe that's a good thing). If you are referring to Red Hulk, he's a cool character but he does not have enough popularity to bring the general audience to the cinema. "Angry White Men" my comment had nothing to do with the lead character's skin colour. Sam is decent enough as Falcon, but as Ross said in the trailer, he's not Steve Rogers.

@AllsGood - With Captain America:Brave New World budget is nearly $400 Million, I bet Paddington In Peru makes more profit.

@AllsGood - Nearly $400 Million and after the last test screening they will even spend more money on it.

This movie needs to be Bat-Girled.

@marvel72 - You need to be more worried about WB/ DC Studios ZERO HITS. WB / DC Studios can't even compete with Marvel Studios 2 or 3 losses.

At least you have Joker: Folie à Deux to Give Thanks' today.

marvel72 - 11/28/2024, 8:28 AM
@AllsGood - I'm not worried at all, I don't get any of the profits from what these movies make.

We have so many comic book movies which are better than most of the shit that's released today.

If it means we don't get any comic book movies for a few years so be it.

@AllsGood - Why? That has nothing to do with this article. I don't love or hate WB/DC. I think that most DCEU movies were bad and am hoping for the best with the DCU. But the topic of this article is the MCU. I want both to succeed, don't care for these pointless football like discussions. Grow up mate.

Since Captain America is signature American and Paddington signature British, should we call Paddington Captain Britain from now on?

Is one really gonna affect the other with different demographics though? I do look forward to both, so I'm up for the next Barbie/Oppenheimer or Wicked/Gladiator double feature.

Kids movies usually do better than comic movies competition unless comic movie is good enough beat them

Damn. That's actually some very serious competition. I've never seen the Paddington movies, And obviously kids and families love them... But I've been surprised how many film critics, directors and snobs consider Paddington 2 to be one of the best films ever made. Need to check it out and see what all the hubbub is about.

Paddington Bear was part of my childhood, if you ever get the chance watch the Singing In The Rain episode.
