The film is getting mixed reviews all over but is poised to beat the opening collection of the 2011 OG film Captain America: The First Avenger. The film’s pre-sales numbers exceeded Deadpool & Wolverine, a blockbuster last year. This 2025 release was directed by Julius Onah with a magnificent cast comprising Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Xosha Roquemore, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, Harrison Ford.
According to Luiz Fernando’s report, Captain America: Brave New World did a commendable job with its release day number. It debuted in just 49K screenings on Friday and faces Ne Zha 2. The movie collected a solid $5.6 million on Friday, release day, including $300K from the Thursday previews. It witnessed a good walk-up business, with 65.8% of Friday tickets bought during the day and 34.2% during pre-sales. However, the initial word-of-mouth is negative.
The audience gave it 5.4 stars only on Douban, which is lower than Captain Marvel’s 5.5 stars. It has scored lower than Venom: The Last Dance‘s $9.4 million, Deadpool & Wolverine’s $8.6 million, GOTG Vol 3’s $7.4 million, and Ant-Man 3’s $6.1 million release-day collections. The film has registered $765K in pre-sales for Saturday.
However, Captain America: Brave New World’s opening day collection is more than The Marvels’ $4.2 million. Depending on word-of-mouth and competition, it is eyeing a $15 million to $20 million three-day weekend in China.
Meanwhile, Captain America 4 has collected $12 million in the United States on Thursday previews. It is projected to earn between $80 million and $90 million in North America. Captain America: Brave New World was released in the theatres on February 14.
