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

The latest Marvel film remains at the top of the box office but struggles with mixed reception and declining ticket sales.

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ earned $28 million domestically in its second weekend, marking a 68% drop from its $88 million three-day opening weekend.
The film’s decline ranks among the steepest in Marvel Cinematic Universe history, though it avoids breaking the record 78% drop of ‘The Marvels.’
Despite its strong $100 million debut over the Presidents’ Day holiday, the movie’s mixed reviews and a CinemaScore of B- have dampened its long-term box office prospects.
With a 10-day domestic total of $147 million, projections indicate the film may struggle to surpass $200 million domestically by the end of its theatrical run.
Marvel faces ongoing challenges in revitalizing excitement for its post-Endgame offerings, with hopes now shifting to future releases like ‘Thunderbolts’ and ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps.’
