Brave New World is the first movie with Sam Wilson becoming Captain America since the Disney+ show The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. While not a direct continuation of the show's plot, it still has plenty of callbacks for avid fans.

The Walt Disney Co. release is by far the biggest opener of 2025 and the company predicts it will hit $100 million domestically and $192.4 globally by the end of Monday's Presidents' Day holiday. It’s Marvel's first major release since “Deadpool & Wolverine” broke records last summer and re-energized a Marvel fanbase that some worried was weakening after the poor showing for “The Marvels.

Brave New World' dominates Korea’s box office with $4 million while 'Secret: Untold Melody' holds second place.
