Thunderbolts* Weekend Box Office Off to a Strong Start After Thursday Night Previews

Thunderbolts* is already off to a good start the the box office.

In theaters across the United States, you can catch the latest Marvel film titled “Thunderbolts,” directed by Jake Schreier. The star-studded cast includes Florence Pugh portraying Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Wyatt Russell taking on the role of U.S. Agent, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, Geraldine Viswanathan as Mel, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

How much did Thunderbolts* make at the box office on Thursday?

By the given deadline, the film Thunderbolts* earned around $11.5 million in U.S. box office sales during Thursday night previews. This is roughly equal to the earnings of Captain America 4, or Captain America: Brave New World, which grossed approximately $12 million.

As a die-hard Marvel enthusiast, I couldn’t contain my excitement as Captain America 4 raked in approximately $100 million during the extended holiday weekend (earning $88.5 million within the standard three-day period). On the other hand, Thunderbolts* seems to be on a promising path, projected to gross around $70 million for its initial three-day run. This figure might swell in the following days, given the buzz of positive feedback that’s been circulating.

The movie “Thunderbolts” brings together an unusual gang of antiheroes from Marvel Studios: Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and John Walker. According to the plot, they are drawn into a deadly trap by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. These disenchanted outcasts must undertake a perilous journey that will compel them to confront the darkest secrets of their past. Will this troubled team self-destruct or find redemption and transform into something greater before it’s too late?

In the making of Thunderbolts, Kevin Feige takes charge as the main producer. Louis D’Esposito, Brian Chapek, and Jason Tamez step in as executive producers. Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo are responsible for the screenplay, with Pearson providing the original story idea. The cast includes Chris Bauer, Wendell Pierce, along with others.

Marvel’s Thunderbolts* is now playing in theaters.
