Captain America: Brave New World Eyes $100M Domestic Haul Over Presidents Day Weekend

The much-anticipated *Captain America: Brave New World* has exceeded expectations, launching with a robust $100 million at the domestic box office over the Presidents Day holiday weekend. According to box office revenue tracker Comscore, the latest Marvel Studios film raked in an estimated $88.5 million across 4,105 theaters during the three-day period, with projections reaching $100 million over the four-day holiday. Internationally, the film added another $92.4 million, bringing its global weekend total to an impressive $192.4 million.

With a production budget of $180 million, *Captain America: Brave New World* needs to reach a global box office of around $425 million to break even. This early performance places it as the fourth-best Presidents Day launch on record, trailing behind other superhero blockbusters such as *Black Panther* ($242 million), *Deadpool* ($152 million), and *Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania* ($120 million).

Despite its strong opening, *Captain America: Brave New World* has faced mixed reviews. IGN's review scored it a 5/10, stating, "Captain America: Brave New World feels neither brave, nor all that new, falling short of strong performances from Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, and Carl Lumbly." The film's reception will be crucial as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) seeks to reverse a recent downward trend in performance, highlighted by the success of last year's *Deadpool & Wolverine*. The MCU's upcoming releases, *Thunderbolts* in May and *The Fantastic Four: First Steps* in July, will be closely watched to see if they can build on any momentum generated by *Captain America: Brave New World*.
