After a lackluster few years, the MCU bounced back with its momentum, thanks to the studio’s stellar lineup of releases last year. With Marvel’s redemption arc gaining steam in 2024, 2025 is shaping up to be a blockbuster year with a plate full of releases waiting for an unleash. As fans count down to the Valentine’s Day release of Captain America: Brave New World, encouraging box office predictions hint at a bright future ahead. Following a rocky relationship with the box office, the latest forecast injects new hope into the franchise, underscoring its dedication to saving the day, one blockbuster at a time.

According to a new report by Deadline, Marvel Studios’ upcoming Captain America: Brave New World has hit three-weekend tracking after tickets went on sale Monday. The movie is expected to open to a domestic box office of over $95 million over four days against a $180 million budget before P&A. Brave New World is braving through with just 15% behind Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, which opened to $118.4 million. Daniel Richtman on X highlighted the update, suggesting it would be far from a flop.

Marvel Studios already owns the top three of the four-day opening records for Presidents' Day weekend with Black Panther, Deadpool, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. With ticket sales already going well above Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Black Adam, and The Flash, Captain America: Brave New World has an edge as the single marquee title until March 21 when Snow White hits the theater.

Why Do Fans Believe the MCU’s Fate Lies on This Upcoming Flick, and Not ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’?

While Deadpool & Wolverine already made 2024 a year to remember, Brave New World is the MCU geeks’ next big bet for a blockbuster resurgence.

Captain America: Brave New World is a high-stakes gamble, but the Marvel fans have all eyes on the reboot. Although Daniel Richtman’s highlighting of the small-scale budget saw some opposition from the fans, they remain hopeful for the movie to be a financial hit. While some held their grounds of reservation, fans were confident by the end of the run, it would easily surpass the $180 million budget.

Many fans were hopeful Richtman’s forecast would hit the bullseye.

Meanwhile, a few folks got to business with their math books by the side and calculators in hand. While a box office bomb is rather unlikely, fans were attempting to figure out what could ensure profit in the Brave New World. Of course, they were stubborn in their doubts about the reported budget, but regardless, their hopes are visibly high for the hotly anticipated Marvel movie to get love-bombed.
