February box office enhanced by Captain America and perhaps more

Under Marvel “Captain America: Brave New World” (Disney), February will continue the direction of the improved box office for three months compared to the previous year. By the end of February, we may be 25 percent of 2024.

Nobody expects this to continue for the full year. If this happens, the theaters that reach the United States/Canada will reach $ 11.5 billion. In 2018, we saw about $ 12 billion – at current ticket prices, equivalent to $ 15 billion.

January increased by 10 percent from last year, but more than two -thirds of this total came from the reservation. “Den of Thiefs 2: Pantera” (Lionsgate) was the best weak group with $ 33 million in January, but “Dog Man” in Universal and one of Sony “will exceed this total.

A total of about $ 550 million in February appears to be executed; Last year, it was $ 375 million. In the foreground, the new “Captain America”, which is also the first entrance for Disney Marvel since “Deadpool & Wolverine” last July. A total of $ 175 million can reach 200 million dollars in the first two weeks. In comparison, the latest version of the “America” ​​concession achieved $ 500 million.

This is a nice improvement over the past year. But before Kovid, February has always achieved more than $ 600 million – in many years, more than $ 800 million (modified). In 2018, when “Black Panther” first appeared, one billion dollars passed.

This input begins with a new series, with Anthony Maki Chris Evans replacing the front (the same title, different character). It was directed by Julius Ann, which includes his previous “Los” credits. He is another Innie director in the Marvel menu that includes Cate Shortland, Chloe Zhao, Nia Dacosta and Ryan Coogeler.

The reservation, led by “Dog Man”, should provide a similar amount for the total. “Paddington in Peru”, which opened in most of the world late last year (93 million dollars so far) seems to be the other new version with the best opportunity for a total of approximately $ 50 million during the month. “Paddington” and “Captain America” ​​opens on February 14, as they acquired both Valentine’s Day and the weekend for four days.

“The Monkey”, which opens on February 21, is the wild card between the new films of the month. Based on Stephen King’s short story, it is directed by Osgood Perkins (“Longlegs”).

Wide versions include “LOVE HURTS” and “Heart Eyes” (Sony “, both of which were funded for February 7 Super Bowl; “Unbreakable boy” (Lyongit) February 21; And “The Last Breath” (Focus) February 28. It is not expected that these original versions of a low budget will explode, but one or more than 10 million dollars will enhance this month, and to enhance the success of their “days”, “and pay attention to the production of similar titles.
