Marvel’s New ‘Captain America’ Is No. 1, Despite Poor Reviews

Published On Feb 16, 2025, 5:01 AM

The new Marvel film 'Captain America: Brave New World' debuted at the top of the box office, projecting around $84 million in North American ticket sales over its opening weekend. However, while the film performed well at the box office, it received the lowest CinemaScore rating of any Marvel movie at B-minus and only 50% positive reviews from Rotten Tomatoes, leading to concerns about its long-term viability and potential market sustainability for Marvel films.
