The 2025 box office was, well … quiet. Aside The Minecraft movie Expectations, there was not much strong excitement from theaters. That’s why the eyes are blocked Thunderbolts*Marvel’s next great swing and the final film in phase five.
He hits cinemas on May 2, and while the buzz around the film is growing as it is suggested to be one of the best Marvel films for years, the box office screenings are a little more … reserved.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is currently monitoring to open between $ 63-77 million nationally, with $ 70 million which are the “target number”. It is not disastrous, but in Marvel terms, it is soft. Especially when it stacks it against Captain America: Brave New Worldwhich brought $ 88.8 million in its first three days, or even releases from the pandemic era such as Black widow ($ 80.3 million), Shang-chi ($ 75.3 million) e Eternal ($ 71.2 million).
Nevertheless, Thunderbolts* It could still be fantastic. The relationships of a test screening were surprisingly positive, some even compared it with the reception Guardians of the galaxy I got before it became a favorite of fans. It is not a small praise.
The atmosphere is that Thunderbolts* It could actually surprise people in the best way. In addition, Marvel fans know that this is not just one -off. This movie prepares the stage for Avengers: DoomsdayAnd several characters in this film are confirmed to return. It is part of the bigger puzzle now, and this matters.
The marketing machine is taking off, with tickets already on sale and trailers get a solid involvement. But the projections are projections and they do not always tell the complete story. Just look The Minecraft movieIt had to open about $ 65 million. He exploded that number with a debut of $ 162.7 million. Sometimes, the public presents itself.
What Thunderbolts* He tried it, apart from the Marvel brand, it’s timing. It will be the largest version for a couple of weeks after opening. That breathing is rare these days. But the clock starts to tick quickly, with Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Disney’s Lilo & Stitch Live-action remake both arrived later in May.
Marvel needs a victory here. New brave world He did not get the way the study hoped for and the multiverse saga is looking for momentum. Thunderbolts* He has the ingredients of a strong film with a cast led by the character, franchise ties, promising early reactions. But it is still unclear if this is sufficient to obtain a general audience in cinemas.
