Captain America 4 is about to be released, with a box office of 3 billion yuan, basically recouping Its costs!

In recent years, the box office performance of Marvel superhero movies has been like a roller coaster, sometimes high and sometimes sluggish. In 2021, Doctor Strange 2 was dazzling, with a global box office of nearly $1 billion, creating a box office miracle. However, by 2023, Ant-Man 3 and Captain Marvel 2 were hit hard. The former’s global box office was only just over 400 million US dollars, while the latter’s performance was even more dismal, with only $206 million, resulting in heavy losses for the film. The box office of these two films fell, causing the “Marvel Cinematic Universe” to fall into a low point.

However, in 2024, with the return of two popular characters, Deadpool and Wolverine, the “Marvel Cinematic Universe” will regain its glory. That year, the global box office of Deadpool and Wolverine, co-starred by Deadpool and Wolverine, reached $1.338 billion, won the global annual box office runner-up, and broke the global R-grade film box office record. However, the next “Captain America 4” pulled the “Marvel Cinematic Universe” into reality. This film is a superhero blockbuster launched by Marvel Pictures for the first time this year. It was released simultaneously in China and North America in mid-February, but due to the low quality, the audience’s poor evaluation, and the opening performance was poor. At present, the domestic box office of Captain America 4 is only 104 million yuan, while the cumulative box office in North America is 199 million US dollars, and the total global box office is about 412.8 million US dollars, equivalent to 3 billion yuan. Considering its cost of $180 million, this performance almost reached the break-even and did not lose money.

Nevertheless, the global box office of 3 billion yuan seems to be the pinnacle of Captain America 4, because the film is about to be released and logged into streaming platforms. Recently, official sources have revealed that “Captain America 4” will be launched on streaming on the 15th of this month, and a 4K Blu-ray physical disc will be released on May 13, which is less than a week away from now. At that time, the film will launch a streaming media platform and 4K physical discs, which may bring a wave of profits to the film.
