Our Take On Captain America: Brave New World’s Pre-Sales Update
The New Captain America Movie Has A Battle Ahead
WhileAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniaended up being a box office disappointment, it is easy to understand whyCaptain America: Brave New World’s pre-sales are nowhere near the third Ant-Man film. Disney+‘sLokidid a masterful job of propping up Kang the Conqueror to be a frightening figure. The arrival of the MCU’s new main villain after Thanos was a huge selling point ofQuantumania. That, added to the charm of the previous two Ant-Man movies led by Paul Rudd, resulted in a domestic opening weekend of $106 million.
Chris Evans’ Avengers: Doomsday Return Can Lead To All 4 MCU Team-Ups I’m Convinced Are Needed To Justify Bringing Back Steve Rogers
Chris Evans is coming back to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday, and Captain America’s reported return can be justified by important MCU reunions.
Captain America: Brave New Worldstarts a new version of the Captain America franchise thatstars a character who spent most of his time in the MCU as a supporting player. Adding to that, Mackie’s Sam Wilson replaces Chris Evans' Steve Rogers, who is one of the faces of the MCU. This makes the film’s job hard, but with action-packed trailers that suggest aCaptain America: The Winter Soldiertone and Red Hulk added to the mix, the new MCU movie can do quite well. With good reviews,Captain America: Brave New Worldcould get a boost through walkup sales.
The New Captain America Movie Can Have A Healthy Box Office Run
According to a report fromDeadline,Captain America: Brave New Worldis projected to have an $86 million-$95 million 3-day domestic opening, with its Valentine’s Day/Presidents' Day weekend boost leading to a $100M+ figure. With good word-of-mouth and positive reviews, the Captain America movie could have good legs. Based on the footage we have seen so far, I think the movie looks great, and Red Hulk should be a major source of interest for general audiences, translating into ticket sales. While it will not pass $1 billion, I’m convincedCaptain America: Brave New Worldcould be a success.
