Captain America: Brave New World surpasses expectations, raking in an estimated $100 million domestically during its Presidents Day weekend debut.
Comscore reports a three-day domestic gross of approximately $88.5 million from 4,105 theaters, projecting a four-day total of $100 million. Adding the estimated $92.4 million from international markets, the film's global weekend box office is projected at $192.4 million.
Deadline reveals 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-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 originality and underwhelming plot despite strong performances from the cast—the film's box office success is noteworthy. Its performance will be closely monitored to determine if it can revitalize the Marvel Cinematic Universe's recent box office struggles (excluding last year's highly successful Deadpool & Wolverine), setting the stage for the upcoming Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
