Captain America: Brave New World has exceeded expectations, debuting with a projected domestic box office revenue of $100 million over the Presidents Day holiday weekend. According to Comscore, the latest Marvel Studios film earned an estimated $88.5 million across 4,105 theaters during its first three days, with projections rising to $100 million by the fourth day. Internationally, it added another $92.4 million, bringing its global weekend earnings to an impressive $192.4 million.

Deadline reports that the movie had a production budget of $180 million and requires approximately $425 million globally to break even. In terms of historical context, Captain America: Brave New World holds the fourth-highest Presidents Day opening weekend, trailing behind Black Panther ($242 million), Deadpool ($152 million), and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($120 million).

IGN awarded it a score of 5/10, noting that it "feels neither brave nor all that new," while praising the performances of Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, and Carl Lumbly. The success of Captain America: Brave New World will be crucial in reversing recent trends within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and building anticipation for upcoming releases such as Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.
