Captain America: Brave New World exceeded expectations, raking in an estimated $100 million domestically during its Presidents Day weekend debut. Comscore reports a three-day total of $88.5 million from 4,105 theaters, projecting a four-day total of $100 million. Adding its impressive $92.4 million international haul, the film 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 fourth among the highest-grossing Presidents Day weekend releases, trailing only Black Panther ($242 million), Deadpool ($152 million), and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($120 million).
Despite receiving mixed reviews—IGN awarded it a 5/10, citing a lack of innovation and criticizing its underperformance despite strong acting from Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, and Carl Lumbly—the film's initial success is noteworthy. Its performance will be closely monitored to determine if it can buck the recent trend of underperforming MCU films (excluding last year's successful Deadpool & Wolverine), setting the stage for Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
