Captain America's Big Debut

Captain America: Brave New World is making waves at the box office. The movie raked in $12 million on Thursday alone. This is a big deal because it's the first major movie of the year and it's expected to make over $90 million during the four-day Valentine’s Day/Presidents Day weekend. This is a huge success for Marvel Studios, which is trying to reboot the franchise with a new cast. The movie is expected to earn over $80 million in the first three days. This is a solid start, especially when you compare it to other Marvel movies like Captain America: Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ant-Man and the Wasp. Overseas, the movie is set to open in big markets like China, Japan, and South Korea, with expectations to collect $100 million. The movie has faced some criticism from reviewers, but audiences seem to love it. While the critics' score is 52 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is 79 percent. This is a big turnaround for Marvel, which has had some struggles recently. The studio is hoping that this movie will be a hit, especially after the success of Deadpool & Wolverine, which became the top-grossing R-rated movie of all time. The new Captain America movie is a bit different from the others. Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson, is taking over the role of Captain America. The movie cost around $180 million to make, which is less than many other Marvel movies. It's also more grounded and focuses on action, rather than sci-fi elements or the multiverse. This is a big change for Marvel, which has been known for its complex storylines and special effects. The movie is directed by Julius Onah and stars Harrison Ford as the newly elected U. S. President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. Ross wants to bring Captain America into an official military position, but Wilson uncovers a global plot that includes facing off with Ross when he transforms into the Red Hulk. The movie also stars Danny Ramirez, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Rosa Salazar. Captain America: Brave New World opens officially in the U. S. on Valentine’s Day. It's competing with Studio Canal’s latest installment in the Paddington franchise. Paddington in Peru has already earned $104. 0 million internationally, including $19 million from Sony-distributed markets. The movie is expected to do big business in the U. K and Australia. The Paddington movie is a big deal for StudioCanal, which developed and fully-financed it. The movie is expected to open in the $15 million to $17 million range domestically. StudioCanal is also a partner on Universal and Working Title’s Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the long-awaited fourth and final installment in the series, headlined by Renée Zellweger. Bridget Jones is going straight to Universal’s streaming service Peacock in the U. S. in a Valentine’s gift to existing subscribers and in a bid to lure more subs.
