The early box office predictions for Captain America 4 suggest that it might become one of the highest openers for Marvel Studios in recent years.
Being the fourth installment of the Captain America franchise, Brave New World is set to feature Anthony Mackie fully embracing his new role as Captain America alongside Harrison Ford as he steps into the role of Thaddeus Ross. The superhero movie will arrive in theaters in the United States on Valentine’s Day next month.
Captain America 4’s box office could open between $86-95 million
According to a report by Deadline, the early box office predictions of Captain America 4 suggest that the next MCU movie will make around $86 million to $95 million in its opening weekend.
Continuing plot threads seen earlier in the MCU, Captain America: Brave New World will tie into the events of the 2014 movie Captain America movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This first Captain America sequel went on to make over $95 million in its opening weekend, making it one of the MCU’s many box office hits, as per Box Office Mojo. In its total run, Captain America 2 made approximately $714 million at the box office.
Brave New World’s box office performance will likely be measured against this sequel’s success more than it will any other movie. However, it will also most likely get a box office boost over the Presidents Day holiday which falls on Monday, February 17, 2025.
Captain America: Brave New World is directed by Julius Onah, who is known for movies like The Cloverfield Paradox, Luce, and more. Previously, the movie was titled, Captain America: New World Order which was later changed. Producer Nate Moore revealed that the name was changed because “the feedback we got, internally and externally, was that that phrase has, unfortunately, been co-opted in the real world in a way that made people uncomfortable.”
