Captain America: Brave New World had a strong opening weekend but faced a steep 68% drop in box office sales in its second week. Several critics and audiences were disappointed with the movie, with many feeling it focused too much on Red Hulk and not Captain America.

Brave New World" is losing momentum at the box office, even during a muted winter weekend with only a smattering of new releases.

Though no major studio ever planned this, the Oscar ceremony over the last three years post Covid fell on a weekend when there’s was a No. 1 film to brag about at the box office. Last year Oscar weekend had Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s Kung Fu Panda 4 opening to $57.
