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 the latest Marvel Studios film grossed approximately $88.5 million across 4,105 theaters over the three-day weekend, projecting a four-day total of $100 million. Adding its impressive $92.4 million international earnings, Captain America: Brave New World boasts an estimated $192.4 million global weekend box office.
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 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 its cast—the film's performance is crucial for Marvel. It's a key test of whether Marvel can overcome recent box office underperformance (excluding last year's successful Deadpool & Wolverine), setting the stage for future releases like Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
