Captain America: Brave New World Eyes $100M Domestic Haul Over Presidents Day Weekend

Captain America: Brave New World has exceeded initial projections, securing an impressive $100 million in domestic box office earnings over the Presidents Day holiday weekend. According to Comscore, the latest installment from Marvel Studios grossed an estimated $88.5 million across 4,105 theaters in its first three days, with projections reaching $100 million over the four-day holiday period. Internationally, the film added $92.4 million, bringing its global weekend total to an estimated $192.4 million.

Produced with a budget of $180 million, Captain America: Brave New World needs to reach a global box office of approximately $425 million to break even. Despite mixed reviews, including a 5/10 rating from IGN, which noted that the film "feels neither brave, nor all that new," it has managed to secure the fourth-best Presidents Day launch on record. It trails behind other superhero hits like Black Panther ($242 million), Deadpool ($152 million), and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($120 million).

The film's performance is crucial for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially following a string of less successful releases, with the notable exception of last year's Deadpool & Wolverine. All eyes are now on Captain America: Brave New World to see if it can maintain momentum and set a positive trend leading into upcoming releases like Thunderbolts* in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
