Captain America: Brave New World surpasses expectations, raking in an estimated $100 million domestically during its Presidents Day weekend debut.
Comscore reports the latest Marvel Studios film grossed approximately $88.5 million across 4,105 theaters over the three-day period, projecting a four-day total of $100 million. Adding its impressive $92.4 million international earnings, the film's global weekend box office is estimated at $192.4 million.
Deadline reveals the film's production budget was $180 million, with a break-even point estimated at $425 million globally.
This strong opening weekend places Captain America: Brave New World as the fourth-best Presidents Day debut, trailing only three other superhero films: Black Panther ($242 million), Deadpool ($152 million), and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($120 million).
Despite mixed critical reception—IGN awarded it a 5/10, criticizing its lack of innovation and underwhelming plot despite strong performances from the cast—the film's performance is crucial for Marvel. It needs to demonstrate significant box office legs to counteract the recent underperformance of several MCU films (excluding last year's successful Deadpool & Wolverine). The film's success will be a key indicator of momentum heading into the releases of Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
