Captain America: Brave New World has soared above expectations, securing an impressive $100 million at the domestic box office during the Presidents Day holiday weekend. According to Box office revenue tracker Comscore, the latest installment from Marvel Studios raked in an estimated $88.5 million over three days across 4,105 theaters. The projected four-day total stands at $100 million. Internationally, the film added another $92.4 million, bringing the global weekend total to an estimated $192.4 million.
With a production budget of $180 million, Captain America: Brave New World has a break-even point set at approximately $425 million globally. In terms of its opening performance, it ranks as the fourth-best Presidents Day launch in history, trailing behind other superhero giants like Black Panther ($242 million), Deadpool ($152 million), and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($120 million).
Despite its strong box office debut, Captain America: Brave New World has received mixed reviews. IGN's review gave the film a modest 5/10, stating, "Captain America: Brave New World feels neither brave, nor all that new, falling short of strong performances from Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, and Carl Lumbly."
The film's performance is crucial for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has been experiencing a dip in momentum, with the notable exception of last year's successful Deadpool & Wolverine. All eyes are now on Captain America: Brave New World to see if it can maintain its pace and help build anticipation for upcoming MCU releases such as Thunderbolts* in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
