- Captain America: Brave New World– $28.2M/$141.8M
It was tough sledding for Captain America: Brave New World, which fell a stunning 68% in week two for just $28M. That was enough to beat out The Monkey, and maybe enough to keep it on track to surpass 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger‘s $176M domestic total. Worldwide, the fourth Cap entry has $289M and is performing better than some of Marvel’s other recent lows.
