Captain America: Brave New World's Box Office Performance

"Captain America: Brave New World" has completed its theatrical run, and the results are in. While the film is approaching a significant box office milestone, its overall performance has fallen short of expectations compared to other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) entries. Despite this, the movie is poised to reach a $200 million domestic box office total.

Currently, "Brave New World" has grossed $402 million globally, with $193.3 million from the United States and $208.8 million from international markets. It needs less than $7 million to reach the $200 million domestic milestone, which is attainable. However, in its recent weekends, domestic earnings were just over $4 million, representing its lowest per-theater average. The recent announcement of the Doomsday cast may bring renewed attention to "Brave New World", potentially boosting its final numbers.

Critical Reception and Audience Response Beyond box office numbers, "Brave New World" has faced challenges in winning over both critics and audiences. The film holds a 49% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes, placing it among the lowest-rated MCU movies. Interestingly, audiences seem to have a more positive view, giving it a 79% rating on the same platform.

One review described the film as "one of the weakest entries in the decades-spanning franchise," adding that it is "a Marvel movie that is as frustrating as it is forgettable." This difference in opinion highlights a divide between professional critics and general moviegoers. The Cast of 'Captain America: Brave New World' One noteworthy aspect of the film is its cast, particularly Anthony Mackie's debut as Captain America, succeeding Chris Evans' Steve Rogers. This role picks up where the Disney+ series, "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," concluded. Another significant casting decision was Harrison Ford as Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, the newly elected President of the United States.

The ensemble cast also includes Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Xosha Roquemore, Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, and Tim Blake Nelson. Despite the talent involved, "Brave New World" has not achieved the blockbuster success anticipated. "Captain America: Brave New World" is still in select theaters.
