The MCU’s may date box office - Thunderbolts speculation
This is an old collage so gotg3 is missing and technically you could add infinity war and endgame as they were supposed to be may releases but as you can see, Marvel has a dominance across the decades with their May releases.
4 crossed $1bn (6 if counting IW and EG) 7 over 800m Only one below 500m
That’s a very wide range to try to estimate what thunderbolts box office will land at but I like these odds.
Thunderbolts like 6 (or 8) of the 10(or 12) films released in this time frame is a team up movie. However it’s the only female led film and its cast aren’t the “main” players. IMO that excludes it from the coveted billion dollar club but I don’t think this brings it down to the box office for Thor.
I think it’s reaching thors box office and adding 1-200 million more.
If Captain America 4 is good enough to carry on the momentum from DPXW I think there’s very little to cause it to fall under $500m
The cast is stacked. Writers are excellent and director too all hailing from the Emmy winning show BEEF (Still salty Steven yeun isn’t there but sure he’ll return somewhere else)
It has a unique concept to the mcu and unlike the suicide squad does not entice the inevitable demise of its cast so the audience is allowed to bond with them more.
Another positive aspect of its box office run is it has no “challenging” movie till Mission impossible 3 weeks after its release. There are films set to come out before but none taps into the same audience similarly to how Cap 4 has no threat till essentially march and even then.
I put this within Thor and GOTG 3 range 449 - 845 and will say it taps out around $600-650m but should it be as excellent as I think it will be it may join the $700m family.
TLDR : Marvel may releases have never failed and thunderbolts is unlikely to become the first one. It acts as the “avengers” film for phase 5 and will tap out around $6-650m imo.
