Regardless of its rebrand as the New Avengers, connections to both “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” and “Avengers: Doomsday”, and even though it shares a universe with “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Eternals”, “Thunderbolts” seems poised for a bigger failure than both those titles.
Recently saw it estimated that Thunderbolts won’t even reach $400 million at the box office.
Unfortunately, the performance of “Thunderbolts” has taken a downturn compared to “Captain America: Brave New World” on a daily basis, in contrast to its previous record of outperforming “Captain America 4” since the fifth day.
As a movie enthusiast, I must share some disappointing news about the upcoming “Captain America: Brave New World”. It seems this film will set Disney back approximately $100 million. Just recently, they’ve admitted in their investor report that this production hasn’t been as profitable for them as they had hoped.
Thunderbolts Now Trailing Cap 4 at the Box Office
On its 26th day in theaters, Thunderbolts earned less than Captain America: Brave New World did, despite Tuesday typically drawing larger audiences due to discounted tickets. Specifically, Thunderbolts made $1,043,332 on Tuesday compared to Captain America 4’s $1,149,804. The global box office for Captain America: Brave New World currently stands at a staggering $415,101,577.
Initially, Thunderbolts had been surpassing Captain 4 by about half, occasionally more, but since day five, it’s been lagging behind in domestic box office earnings for the first time. As of day 26, both films are close with Captain 4 earning approximately $178.38 million and Thunderbolts slightly trailing at around $175.46 million. If this pattern persists, Thunderbolts might not reach Captain 4’s domestic total of $200.5 million, a figure it was previously predicted to surpass.
Thunderbolts Could Lose $100M, Says Report
As a passionate cinephile, I’ve been following the box office performance of “Thunderbolts” closely, and it seems that the movie isn’t living up to expectations. According to reports from World of Reel, it appears that “Thunderbolts” is projected to cost Disney a staggering $100M or more in losses.
If the movie’s earnings fall below $400 million, as projected, it would rank second to the worst among Marvel Cinematic Universe films, just above “The Marvels.” This implies that it won’t surpass the $402 million earned by “Eternals” in 2021 (which increases when adjusted for inflation).
As a discerning movie critic, I must share my insights on the financial performance of “Thunderbolts.” It seems that industry experts, including myself, concur with the notion that the film’s break-even point surpasses the reported $450M and instead resides in the ballpark of $500M. This discrepancy is causing Disney to face a substantial loss of approximately $100M.
More Delays, More Problems: FF, X-Men, and Avengers Shift
Next up is “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” a film that, I must admit, seems to be heading towards another major flop. It’s rather interesting to note that Disney has delayed both “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Secret Wars,” which are now scheduled after the releases of FF, The Thunderbolts/New Avengers, and Captain America 4.
Reports also offer Bob Iger isn’t happy and that Feige’s X-Men plans have been delayed.
