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 with a projected $100 million domestic box office opening over the Presidents Day weekend. Comscore estimates the film earned $88.5 million from 4,105 theaters over three days, projecting a four-day total of $100 million. Adding its $92.4 million international gross, the film's estimated global weekend total reaches $192.4 million.

Deadline reports the film's production budget was $180 million, with a break-even point estimated at $425 million globally. This strong opening weekend 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 gave it a 5/10, criticizing its lack of innovation and underwhelming plot despite strong performances from its cast—the film's box office success is significant. The film's performance will be closely watched to determine if it can reverse a recent downturn in Marvel Cinematic Universe box office results (excluding last year's highly successful Deadpool & Wolverine), and build momentum for upcoming releases like Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
