Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World has made a huge impact at the box office, securing the biggest opening weekend of 2025 so far.
The film earned $40 million across its Friday and preview screenings in 4,105 locations. With a projected $90 million for the four-day weekend, the film is on track to surpass early estimates.
Despite negative reviews, Brave New World’s impressive opening is a strong start. Directed by Julius Onah, the movie introduces Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America, replacing Chris Evans.
It also stars Harrison Ford as President Thunderbolt Ross, alongside Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Tim Blake Nelson, and Giancarlo Esposito.
With a $180 million production budget, the movie’s success will depend on maintaining strong sales throughout the holiday weekend, as it heads toward breaking even.
