“Captain America: Brave New World” dominated the North American box office, raking in $88.5 million in ticket sales over its opening weekend, exceeding expectations. The film marks a major transition for the “Captain America” franchise, with Anthony Mackie taking over as the new Cap. Despite receiving poor reviews, audiences had a more favorable opinion, with an 80% verified audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film falls in the middle range of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in terms of box office performance, costing $180 million to produce. This marks Marvel’s first major release of 2025, with two more films set to follow later in the year. In second place at the box office was “Paddington in Peru,” while Sony’s slasher film “Heart Eyes” landed in third place. The Chinese blockbuster “Ne Zha 2” rounded out the top five. The weekend also saw the release of a new “Bridget Jones” film, which went straight to streaming in the US but performed well internationally. Overall, the box office saw a 20% increase from last year. Final domestic figures will be released on Tuesday, but “Captain America: Brave New World” has already proven to be a major success.
