Part 9/11:
Financial Breakdown and Potential Failures
Analyzing the possible numbers, the estimated total investment—including marketing costs of around $150 million—brings the total expenditure to roughly $300 million. To merely break even, the film would need to gross at least $600 million worldwide. Given current projections and the tracking data, the film could fall far short.
If the actual box office results mirror these predictions, Captain America: Brave New World could end up in the $400-$500 million global range, a far cry from Marvel’s typical expectations for a flagship franchise installment and a major failure in today’s high-stakes blockbuster environment.
