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 a three-day total of approximately $88.5 million from 4,105 theaters, projecting a four-day gross of $100 million. Adding the impressive $92.4 million in international revenue, the film boasts an estimated $192.4 million global weekend opening.
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 debut, trailing only fellow superhero films: Black Panther ($242 million), Deadpool ($152 million), and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($120 million).

Despite positive box office numbers, the film has received mixed critical reception. IGN's review awarded it a 5/10, criticizing its lack of originality and underwhelming plot despite strong performances from the cast.
The film's long-term performance will be crucial in determining whether it can reverse the recent downturn in MCU box office success (excluding last year's highly successful Deadpool & Wolverine). Its success will significantly impact the anticipation for upcoming releases: Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
