‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Leads a Quiet Box Office Weekend
The Marvel film secures the top spot for a third weekend as new releases and holdovers see modest earnings during Oscars weekend.
- Disney/Marvel's 'Captain America: Brave New World' is projected to earn $15 million this weekend, bringing its domestic total to $163.6 million after three weeks.
- Focus Features’ new release, 'Last Breath,' an underwater thriller starring Woody Harrelson and Simu Liu, is expected to open with $7.3 million from 3,018 theaters.
- Neon’s horror-comedy 'The Monkey' drops to third place in its second weekend, with an estimated $6.2 million, bringing its domestic total to $24.4 million.
- Sony’s 'Paddington in Peru' and Universal’s 'Dog Man' round out the top five, earning $4.5 million and $4 million respectively, with 'Dog Man' nearing $84 million in domestic earnings.
- The overall box office remains slow, with this weekend projected to be one of the lowest-grossing frames of the year, as audiences gear up for the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday.
