Captain America Fends Off Paddington and 'The Monkey' at Domestic Box Office

After generating a strong $100 million in its extended opening weekend, Captain America: Brave New World is expected to retain its crown at the domestic box office in its sophomore frame. The superhero movie is facing fresh competition in the form of Neon's The Monkey, the latest horror film from Longlegs director Osgood Perkins. The Monkeyis eyeing around $14 million in its first three days of release, after generating nearly $2 million in Thursday previews. By comparison, Longlegs made $22 million in its domestic debut last year, before going on to become Neon's biggest hit ever, with a lifetime domestic haul of nearly $75 million.
