Marvel's Captain America Dominates Box Office, Projecting Record-Breaking Weekend

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 period, 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 originality and underutilization of its strong cast—the film's success is noteworthy. The performance will be closely monitored to determine if it can reverse the recent downward trend in MCU box office returns (excluding last year's highly successful Deadpool & Wolverine), setting a positive trajectory for upcoming releases such as Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
