Marvel's *Thunderbolts*, featuring a team of lesser-known characters, is poised for a $70-73 million domestic opening weekend, and $160-175 million globally. Despite a less familiar cast compared to previous MCU films, positive early reviews (89% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a renewed box office strength suggest potential for success. The film, directed by Jake Schreier, is described as a fresh and soulful Marvel adventure focusing on the characters' mental health struggles, with an ensemble cast including Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan. Its performance will be a key indicator of the MCU's current box office strength.
