‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Sees Steep 68% Box Office Drop in Second Weekend

Marvel's latest installment retains the top spot domestically but faces criticism, while Stephen King's 'The Monkey' debuts in second place with $14.2 million.

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ earned $28.2 million in its second weekend, a sharp 68% decline from its $100 million debut over the Presidents Day holiday frame.
The film, starring Anthony Mackie, has received negative reviews and a B- CinemaScore, reflecting waning audience enthusiasm for Marvel's post-'Endgame' releases.
Despite the drop, the movie has grossed $289.4 million globally, with $141 million domestically, and faces little major competition in the coming weeks.
Neon’s horror-comedy ‘The Monkey,’ based on a Stephen King short story, opened in second place with $14.2 million, marking the studio's second-best debut after 2024’s ‘Longlegs.’
China’s animated film ‘Ne Zha 2’ continues to dominate globally, becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time with $1.7 billion in ticket sales.
