Marvel Studios’ latest film Captain America: Brave New World only brought in $12 million in box office grosses on Thursday night.
That number does not look good especially compared to recent Marvel Studios releases. The only film that had a worse Thursday night preview over the last two years was The Marvels, which only brought in $6.6 million. The film crashed out and only grossed a total of $84.5 million domestically and just $199.7 million globally.
The most recent Marvel Studios production before Brave New World was Deadpool & Wolverine and it had a Thursday night preview of $38.5 million.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 had a $17.5 million Thursday night opening. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania also grossed $17.5 million.
Looking back to previous Captain America films, one sees just how paltry this number is. Captain America: Civil War grossed $25 million back on May 5, 2016. That is without factoring in inflation.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier grossed $10.2 million in April 2014. However, if you factor in inflation that comes to $13.6 million.
For those who have seen the film, it does not appear to be that good. On IMDb, the film currently has a 5.9 out of 10 rating from over 9,500 reviews. It has a 5.7 unweighted mean.
On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a better audience score, but is still clocking in at a mediocre 78%. The critic score currently sits at a rotten 52%.
Industry experts and tracking estimate the film will gross $80 million in the traditional 3-day weekend and around $90 million through the 4-day President’s Day weekend.
The film is expected to gross another $100 million internationally for a global gross throughout the 4-day of $190 million.

Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man, and the First Avenger Movie were better written than what comes out of Marvel today. It all went downhill when they introduced Captain Marvel. That was when Disney sold out men, and the actors started screaming that they didn't want us to watch their movies.
We go to movies to escape reality, not hear about politics and crap.
