Thunderbolts Projected to Smash Global Box Office with $175+ Million Opening Weekend
April 30, 2025: Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts is all set to reignite the summer box office. Backed by strong critical acclaim — with a near-90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes — the antihero ensemble film is projected to rake in over $175 million globally in its opening weekend, according to Deadline.
Early presales in North America have crossed $12 million, putting Thunderbolts on par with 2021’s Eternals and ahead of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. However, it trails slightly behind Captain America: Brave New World.
Unlike recent Marvel entries that received lukewarm responses — Brave New World (48%), Eternals (47%), The Marvels (62%) — Thunderbolts is receiving widespread praise for its balanced action, emotional depth, and standout performances.
Directed by Jake Schreier, the film features a formidable lineup including:
The plot revolves around a group of Marvel antiheroes forced to work together by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine on a perilous mission that may be their only shot at redemption.
The film opens in North America on May 2 and is being closely watched as a potential lifeline for the MCU’s flagging momentum.
