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 haul, the film's global weekend box office is estimated at $192.4 million.
Deadline reveals a production budget of $180 million, with a break-even point estimated around $425 million globally.
This strong opening 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, including a 5/10 rating from IGN, which criticized the film for falling short of its potential despite strong performances from its cast, the film's success is crucial for Marvel. The studio hopes Captain America: Brave New World can reverse a recent downturn in MCU box office performance (excluding last year's highly successful Deadpool & Wolverine), setting a positive trajectory for upcoming releases like Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
