USA box office on the 7th weekend of 2017-2025


USA box office on the 7th weekend of 2025 is up 48% compared to last year when "Bob Marley: One Love" was the top-grossing movie.  "Captain America: Brave New World" is this weekend's top-grossing film. 

But it's down 46% compared to the peak year of 2018, when "Black Panther" ruled the box office.

Variety, 2/16/2025
Despite unfavorable reviews and terrible audience scores, the 35th entry in Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe arrived slightly above projections and ranks as the biggest opening weekend of the year.

This holiday weekend was no doubt a busy one for the nation’s multiplexes, but box office watchers are curious about the big screen endurance of “Captain America.” Disney’s Marvel movies tend to start strong regardless of critical reception, but recent entries in the series that garnered mixed-to-awful reviews, like “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “Eternals” and “The Marvels,” sank like stones after No. 1 debuts. “Brave New World” holds a 51% average on Rotten Tomatoes, one of the lowest-ever MCU ratings.  [emphasis added]

Look for a steep drop-off next weekend.
