"Captain America: Brave New World" has soared past initial projections, securing a robust $100 million in domestic earnings over the Presidents Day holiday weekend. According to box office revenue tracker Comscore, the latest installment from Marvel Studios amassed an impressive $88.5 million across 4,105 theaters over the three-day period, with forecasts indicating a total of $100 million for the four-day holiday. Internationally, the film added another $92.4 million, bringing its global weekend total to an estimated $192.4 million.
With a production budget of $180 million, "Captain America: Brave New World" needs to reach a global box office of approximately $425 million to break even. The movie's launch during the Presidents Day weekend marks it as the fourth-best opening for the holiday, trailing behind other superhero films such as "Black Panther" ($242 million), "Deadpool" ($152 million), and "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" ($120 million).
Despite its strong box office performance, "Captain America: Brave New World" has received mixed reviews. IGN rated the film a modest 5/10, commenting that it "feels neither brave, nor all that new, falling short of strong performances from Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, and Carl Lumbly."
The success of "Captain America: Brave New World" is crucial for Marvel Studios, as the industry watches to see if it can reverse the recent downward trend in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie performance—excluding the exception of last year's hit "Deadpool & Wolverine." The film's momentum is vital as the MCU gears up for upcoming releases like "Thunderbolts*" in May and "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" in July.
