Captain America: Brave New World Projected to Beat Estimates With $100 Million Domestic Box Office Over Presidents Day Weekend

Captain America: Brave New World exceeded expectations, raking in an estimated $100 million domestically over the Presidents Day weekend. Comscore reports a three-day total of $88.5 million from 4,105 theaters, projecting a four-day total reaching $100 million. Adding its impressive $92.4 million international haul, the film boasts an estimated $192.4 million global weekend gross.

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-best Presidents Day launch ever, trailing only fellow 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, citing a lack of innovation and a failure to fully capitalize on strong performances from its cast—the film's box office success is noteworthy. Its performance will be closely watched to gauge whether it can reverse a recent downturn for MCU films (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.
