Thunderbolts * / * New Avengers are closer to $ 300 million worldwide

Thunderbolts * The best evaluated film by Marvel Studios since 2021 Shang-chi and the legend of the ten rings And Spider-Man: No time at home. If its 94% “popcornmeter” score on Rotten Tomatoes is an indication, fans also love it.

Unfortunately, Captain America: Brave New World may have taken away any good will created by Deadpool and Wolverine. So far, people have simply not flocked to the team (which has been renamed * New Avengers).

Should a superhero film be an event to attract the public now? These characters – many of which were seen mainly in streaming after Black Widow bypass theaters during the pandemic – and the brand “Thunderbolts” simply not a large enough draw? This is difficult to say, but the film has reached a respectable 272.2 million dollars at the world box office.

According to Deadline, it made $ 143.7 million abroad, with a drop of -52% (-50% to the exclusion of China). It is a very good catch, although it would obviously mean more if its world opening had been larger last week. Always, Thunderbolts *The “social scores” are “large”, and trade expects it to reach $ 300 million by the end of the week.

As for whether it can make a profit, it is difficult to say. Thunderbolts * costs $ 180 million to produce and around $ 100 million on the market, so “Must surpass expectations to justify its high price.”

If we go through the “2.5X budget” rule not completely precise, the latest blockbuster of Marvel Studios must win 450 million dollars to break even without marketing costs taken into account. With them, it looks more like $ 700 million.

We will see what’s going on, but Thunderbolts * must face Final destination Bloodlines Next weekend before Lilo & Stitch And Mission: Impossible – Memorize Come and dominate the long holidays of the Memorial Day.

Eventually, Thunderbolts * should end his race with $ 405 million – $ 445 million. This raises the question of whether, surprised to be damned, she should have been marketed as New Avengers From the start.

In Thunderbolts *Marvel Studios brings together an unconventional anti -hero team – Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. After being trapped in a death trap by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disappointed Castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission which will force them to face the darkest corners of their past.

Will this dysfunctional group tear, or will find redemption and be united as something more before it is too late?

“Thunderbolts * redefines the narration of superheroes to deliver a moving and powerful story that does for the” Multi-Save Saga “what the Avengers did for the” Saga Infinity “in 2012” “ We said in our exam. “These heroes have won their place on a box of wheat.”

Casting Thunderbolts * Will be led by Florence Pugh as Yelena Boleva, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbor as a red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as an American agent, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, Julia Louis-Dreyfus like Valentina Alleg Pullman as a “bob”.
