The Anthony Mackie-led Marvel film struggles in India, overshadowed by the massive success of ‘Chhaava’.
February 18, 2025: ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Struggles in India After Strong Opening Weekend
The latest Marvel Studios film, ‘Captain America: Brave New World’, starring Anthony Mackie, faced a significant drop at the Indian box office on Day 4 (Monday). Despite an impressive global opening of $192.4 million, the film saw a major decline in its India collections, earning only ₹1.19 crore on Monday.
According to Sacnilk.com, the film’s total Indian collection now stands at ₹13.54 crore. The drop in earnings is attributed to tough competition from Bollywood’s latest blockbuster, ‘Chhaava’, which continues to dominate the domestic box office.
India Box Office Collection Breakdown
📌 Day 1 (Friday): ₹4.3 crore
📌 Day 2 (Saturday): ₹4.15 crore
📌 Day 3 (Sunday): ₹4.32 crore
📌 Day 4 (Monday): ₹1.19 crore
📌 Total India Collection: ₹13.54 crore
The film’s earnings were largely driven by English screenings (₹62 lakh), while the Hindi-dubbed version added ₹48 lakh. However, the Tamil version performed poorly, collecting only ₹9 lakh.
‘Chhaava’ Overshadows Marvel’s Latest Release
The Vicky Kaushal-led period drama ‘Chhaava’ continues its blockbuster run, crossing ₹140.5 crore in just four days. The film opened to a massive ₹100 crore weekend and remains the biggest Bollywood release of the year so far.
Additionally, the re-release of ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ has also maintained decent momentum, collecting ₹3.60 crore in its second weekend, pushing its total re-release earnings past ₹30 crore.
With both ‘Chhaava’ and ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ dominating the Indian box office, ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ faces an uphill battle to maintain its earnings in India.
Marvel’s Global Performance and Future Releases
Despite its lackluster India run, ‘Brave New World’ is performing well globally, having earned $192.4 million worldwide. The film reportedly had a budget of over $180 million, with an additional $100 million spent on global marketing.
Marvel Studios has two more releases lined up for 2025:
🎬 ‘Thunderbolts’
🎬 ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’
With mixed reviews and stiff competition, ‘Brave New World’ will need a strong hold in international markets to ensure its success.
