Marvel is fighting to reclaim its glory, but did they succeed? ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ made a strong debut with $100 million at the U.S. box office over the Presidents’ Day holiday weekend, but the real question is—how long can it hold on?
Blockbuster or Fast Decline?
Despite the big numbers, reviews have been rough. Critics gave the film a 51% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the lowest-rated Marvel films ever. Audience reactions weren’t much better, as the movie received a B- CinemaScore, suggesting that many viewers left the theater disappointed.
Global Earnings & Future Uncertainty
Internationally, ‘Brave New World’ added $92.4 million, bringing its total global earnings to $192.4 million in just a few days. While that’s an impressive start, many are wondering if the movie can maintain its momentum. Recent Marvel films like ‘The Marvels’ and ‘Eternals’ started strong but quickly collapsed at the box office.
What’s Next for Marvel?
Marvel’s reputation has taken some hits, and ‘Brave New World’ could be a turning point. With ‘Thunderbolts’ and ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ on the horizon, all eyes are on whether Marvel can regain its dominance or if the superhero era is fading.
For now, ‘Brave New World’ is the biggest movie of 2025 so far, but only time will tell if it’s a true success or just another fast-burning blockbuster. 🔥
