The fantasy action film “Thunderbolts” debuted with a global box office of $162 million during its opening weekend. Of this total, $76 million was generated from the domestic market.
The opening performance of “Thunderbolts” is comparable to that of “Eternals” (which opened to $71 million domestically and $162 million globally) and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” ($75 million domestically and $140 million globally). It significantly outperformed “The Marvels,” which opened with $46 million domestically and $110 million globally. Although the $76 million domestic opening for “Thunderbolts” was lower than the previous Marvel film, “Captain America: Brave New World” ($88 million domestic / $192 million global opening), analysts are predicting that “Thunderbolts”` total box office run will ultimately exceed it. Unlike some recent Marvel releases, “Thunderbolts” has received positive feedback from both critics and audiences, suggesting that its box office performance should remain strong and avoid a steep decline in its second week.
The film “Thunderbolts” premiered on May 2, 2025. The cast features Florence Pugh, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sebastian Stan, Olga Kurylenko, David Harbour, and Wyatt Russell. These actors previously appeared as secondary characters or villains within the Marvel Cinematic Universe`s various films and series.
