Marred by a mixed audience reception, “Captain America: Brave New World” has become the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to fall well short of the high standard the franchise set for itself during its cultural domination of the 2010s.
Sinking 68% from its opening weekend, “Brave New World” has a two-weekend total of $145 million domestic and $294 million global, the latter standing 20% behind the global $363 million two-weekend total of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” in February 2023. There is still a possibility that “Brave New World” could leg out better in the weeks ahead than “Quantumania,” but that would mostly be because of a lack of significant March releases for theaters like “Creed III,” which hastened the decline of “Ant-Man 3” two years ago.
