Thunderbolts*, aka The New Avengers, is fighting the Disney juggernaut, Lilo & Stitch, and other trending movies at the cinemas. Yet the film maintains strong legs in the domestic regions. The MCU movie has now officially surpassed the domestic haul of Captain America: The First Avenger and will also beat another Marvel movie this weekend. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The film was awarded an A- on CinemaScore and has been fighting with everything to stay in the top 5 of the domestic box office chart. The film will hardly surpass the $400 million milestone at the worldwide box office, and the pressure of new releases will be felt in full throttle. However, this film has rejuvenated fans’ faith in Marvel, and they hope to see some grounding content, such as The New Avengers, in the future.
How much did Thunderbolts* earn on day 29 at the domestic box office?
According to Box Office Mojo, Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan‘s film collected a modest $1.3 million on day 29 at the box office in North America, which is comprised of USA and Canadian regions. Thunderbolts* faces severe competition from multiple new movies and has also lost -660 theatres on Thursday, witnessing a drop of 49.8% from last Friday. It has been running in the theatres for 29 days, and after almost a month, its domestic gross has reached the $178.35 million cume.
Beats Captain America: The First Avenger & is on track to surpass Thor

But it is better late than never; The New Avengers has officially beaten The First Avenger, which collected $176.65 million at the North American box office. The 2011 MCU film collected that amount over 112 days, but The New Avengers achieved that in 29 days.
