Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World has made a thunderous debut in Nigerian cinemas, smashing records with a staggering ₦137.5 million opening weekend.
According to FilmOne Entertainment, the official distributor of the film in Nigeria, this marks the biggest box office debut of 2025. Taking to social media to celebrate the milestone, FilmOne shared:
“₦137.5M opening weekend; 2025’s biggest yet! Thank you for making Captain America: Brave New World a record-breaking success!”
The film’s massive opening reaffirms Nigeria’s growing influence as a key market for Hollywood blockbusters, particularly Marvel productions, which continue to dominate local cinemas.
Marvel’s Stronghold in Nigeria
Superhero films have consistently performed well in Nigerian cinemas, with Spider-Man: No Way Home and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever also delivering impressive numbers in recent years. Now, Brave New World has set a new benchmark, proving that the MCU’s grip on Nigerian audiences remains firm.
Plot & Global Success
The latest installment in the Captain America saga follows Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as he officially steps into his role as Captain America, navigating political conspiracies and dangerous new threats.
Beyond Nigeria, the film has also made waves globally. In the United States, Captain America: Brave New World pulled in $88.5 million over its opening weekend and is expected to surpass $100 million with the Presidents’ Day holiday boost, making it the biggest Hollywood release of the year so far.
With such a strong start, the big question remains: Can Brave New World maintain its momentum and break even more records in the coming weeks? Fans and industry watchers alike will be keeping a close eye on its box office trajectory.
