Captain America: Brave New World has kicked off the year with a bang, raking in $100 million domestically over the long Valentine’s Day/Presidents Day weekend. This includes $88. 4 million from the three-day weekend alone. Globally, the film has already made $192. 4 million, with $92. 4 million coming from international markets. This impressive start is a big deal, especially since many critics and moviegoers were not impressed. The film received a B- CinemaScore from audiences, which is the lowest grade any Marvel Cinematic Universe movie has ever gotten. However, not everyone agrees with the critics. Brave New World has a 79 percent audience ranking on Rotten Tomatoes.

The movie sees Anthony Mackie taking on the role of Captain America, a character previously played by Chris Evans. The film is described as a more grounded action movie, similar to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It steers clear of sci-fi elements and the multiverse, which has been a big part of recent Marvel films. The film is directed by Julius Onah and features a star-studded cast, including Harrison Ford as the newly elected U. S. President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. Ford’s character wants to bring Captain America into an official military position. However, things get complicated when Wilson uncovers a global plot that includes facing off with Ross when the president unexpectedly turns into the Red Hulk. Danny Ramirez, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Rosa Salazar also star in the film.

Brave New World’s success shows that there is a big demand for event movies. It also highlights the importance of having a diverse cast and appealing to a younger audience. The film’s performance is a big win for Marvel, which has faced some challenges recently. The studio is hoping that Captain America: Brave New World will continue to do well, but its long-term success will depend on how well it holds up in the coming weeks.

Presidents Day weekend has been a big one for Marvel in the past. It’s the same weekend that the first Deadpool opened, as well as Marvel’s Black Panther and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. This year, StudioCanal’s Paddington in Peru is the second highest-grossing film in North America. The film has earned an estimated $16 million domestically, including $13 million over the three-day weekend. Internationally, it has already made $104 million. The film cost $90 million to make and was developed and fully financed by StudioCanal. The film is also a partner on Universal and Working Title’s Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the fourth and final installment in the series. Bridget Jones went straight to Universal’s streaming service Peacock in the U. S. and is getting a theatrical release overseas, where it opened to an impressive $35. 5 million.
