Overview

  • The film grossed $40 million in its second domestic weekend, down 66% from its $117.6 million debut, yet retained the No. 1 spot.
  • After ten days, it has a $198.4 million U.S. cume and added $39.6 million overseas for a $368.7 million global total.
  • Its 66% sophomore slide ranks among the steepest in Marvel Cinematic Universe history, alongside Captain America: Brave New World (68%) and Thunderbolts* (56%).
  • Heightened competition from The Bad Guys 2, The Naked Gun and holdover tentpoles Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman intensified the drop.
  • Projections now forecast a $280–295 million domestic finish and a $520–570 million global run, roughly aligning with break-even targets.
