Can ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Cross This Major Box Office Milestone Before Running Out of Steam?
Captain America: Brave New World is nearing the $400 million milestone, but can it get there before it leaves theaters?
Having overtaken Captain America: The First Avenger both domestically and worldwide last week, the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Brave New World, overtook another box office under-performer this weekend as it limped towards a massive global box office milestone. The superhero movie, which marks star Anthony Mackie’s first theatrical appearance as the titular character, opened with $100 million domestically over its extended domestic debut. But it has since struggled to stay afloat, despite next-to-nil competition. It was thought that last year’s Deadpool & Wolverine would breathe new life into the struggling MCU, but it’s clear that audiences are more selective now, more than ever.
