Captain America: Brave New World’s box office forecast reinstates faith in Marvel fans
Captain America: Brave New World
is a high-stakes gamble, but the Marvel fans have all eyes on the reboot. Although Daniel Richtman’s highlighting of the small-scale budget saw some opposition from the fans, they remain hopeful for the movie to be a financial hit. While some held their grounds of reservation, fans were confident by the end of the run, it would easily surpass the $180 million budget.
It definitely shouldn’t flop even if the opening weekend is weak by the end of the run it should definitely be over 180m so either way it should be a W unless it just tanks badly.

it so crazy that every tweet i see about the budget, more the half of the replies are fighting for their lives to keep the false narratives about reshoots going

Many fans were hopeful Richtman’s forecast would hit the bullseye.
Why would it flop in the first place? Unless that’s what you’re hoping it does…
