Disney/Marvel Studios‘ Captain America: Brave New World has hit three-weekend tracking with a number that’s similar to what we saw recently, that being $95M+ over 4-days. The movie opens on Feb. 14 over the Presidents Day/Valentine’s Day weekend.
Tickets went on sale on Monday, and we hear that they’re currently pacing 15% behind Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 which opened to $118M.4M. They’re also well above Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ($94.6M 4-day) in addition to Black Adam ($67M) and The Flash ($55M).
Demos remain hot with men above and under 25. In addition, the latest Cap is solid with Latino and Black moviegoers. Captain America: Brave New World cost around $180M before P&A.
Among four-day opening records for Presidents Day weekend, Marvel Studios owns the top three with 2018’s Black Panther ($242.1M), Deadpool ($152.1M) and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($120.3M). Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania posted a three-day total of $106.1M, Deadpool‘s was $132.4M, while Black Panther‘s was $202M. Other comps have this Captain in the range of Quantumania and 2014’s Captain America: Winter Soldier ($95M 3-day). Anyone whining that the 3-day isn’t that strong on Captain America: Brave New World, duly note it’s a reboot of the franchise with a brand new lead.
The plus for Disney is that Brave New World is the only tentpole in the marketplace until arguably March 21 when the studio rolls out their Gal Gadot-Rachel Zegler Snow White movie.
Currently, Disney owns two No. 1 weekends in 2025 with its prequel Mufasa which is crossing $600M worldwide off a $200M production cost.
