‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Targets $90M+ Presidents’ Day Opening

The Marvel sequel, featuring Anthony Mackie as Captain America, is set to debut with a smaller-than-usual budget and a grounded storyline.

Captain America: Brave New World is projected to earn at least $90 million during its opening weekend, with a potential to exceed $100 million over the extended Presidents’ Day holiday.
The film has a reported production budget of $180 million, making it one of the more modestly budgeted Marvel movies in recent years.
Anthony Mackie stars as Sam Wilson, taking on the mantle of Captain America in a politically charged action thriller, moving away from sci-fi and multiverse elements.
The movie features Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross, who transforms into Red Hulk, alongside other cast members like Danny Ramirez and Liv Tyler.
Brave New World underwent additional photography in 2024 and is positioned as Marvel's next tentpole release, benefiting from limited competition in theaters until late March.
