With Captain America: Brave New World maintaining its top position in its third weekend and new releases entering the market, box office trends continue to evolve. The film has surpassed key milestones but faces comparisons to past MCU entries. Meanwhile, Last Breath and The Monkey have made notable debuts, contributing to a competitive theatrical landscape.
Captain America 4 passes $300 million at worldwide box office
Captain America: Brave New World remained in first place at the box office for the third consecutive weekend, earning around $15 million. The film has now grossed approximately $163.7 million domestically. However, it has performed below expectations compared to previous MCU releases. Its global total stands at $341.8 million.
The film had a reported production budget of $180 million, not including marketing costs. Some estimates suggest the total cost could be closer to $300 million due to extensive reshoots. It has surpassed The Marvels and The Incredible Hulk in box office earnings but remains among the lowest-grossing MCU films. Captain America: Civil War holds the highest box office total in the franchise, with over $1.1 billion worldwide.
Other films in the top five include Last Breath, which opened in second place with $7.8 million domestically. The survival thriller, directed by Alex Parkinson, stars Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, and Finn Cole. The Monkey, a horror-comedy based on a Stephen King story, earned $6.4 million in its second weekend. Paddington in Peru grossed $4.5 million, bringing its domestic total to around $31.4 million. Dog Man earned $4.2 million in its fifth weekend, reaching close to $84.1 million domestically. (via Variety)
The overall box office for the weekend was reportedly among the lowest of the year, down over 50% compared to the same period in 2024. The next major release, Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, is expected to bring more audiences to theaters. Captain America: Brave New World continues to run in theaters worldwide.
