Captain America: Brave New World surpasses expectations, raking in an estimated $100 million domestically during its Presidents Day weekend debut.
Comscore's box office data reveals a three-day total of approximately $88.5 million from 4,105 theaters, projecting a four-day gross of $100 million. Adding the impressive $92.4 million in international revenue, the film's global weekend earnings are estimated at $192.4 million.
Deadline reports a production budget of $180 million, with a break-even point estimated at $425 million globally. This strong opening places Captain America: Brave New World as the fourth-highest-grossing Presidents Day release, trailing only Black Panther ($242 million), Deadpool ($152 million), and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($120 million).
Despite mixed critical reception—IGN awarded a 5/10, citing a lack of innovation and underwhelming plot despite strong performances from the cast—the film's box office success is noteworthy. The film's performance will be crucial in determining whether it can revitalize the Marvel Cinematic Universe's recent box office struggles (excluding last year's highly successful Deadpool & Wolverine), setting the stage for future releases like Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
