Box Office: ‘Thunderbolts*’ Kicks Off Summer Movie Season With $76 Million Debut

“Thunderbolts*” got the summer movie season off to a solid start, igniting to $76 million in its domestic debut.
That’s on the softer side for Marvel adventures, which regularly generate at least $100 million to start. However, “Thunderbolts*” centers on lesser-known heroes — at least compared to Deadpool, Wolverine and Thor. These ticket sales are closer in line with “Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings” ($75 million) and “Eternals” ($71 million), which also introduced newer Marvel protagonists. Analysts believe “Thunderbolts*” will get an important lift in the coming weeks from critics and audiences, who embraced the film with an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and an encouraging “A-” grade on CinemaScore exit polls. It appears to be a step in the right direction after a string of poorly reviewed films such as “Captain America: Brave New World,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels.”
