Early box office tracking for Captain America: Brave New World indicate a debut domestic opening ranging between $81-107 million. This report from Box Office Theory also places the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s total domestic haul at a range of $195 million to $280 million. These numbers are fairly standard among previous Captain America films, with the notable exception of Captain America: Civil War. According to Box Office Mojo, the first Captain America film opened on the lower end at $65 million, while Captain America: The Winter Soldier debuted with a $95 million domestic weekend gross.
Captain America: Civil War broke this trend with a massive $179 million domestic opening, but it is worth noting that this installment in the franchise had the star power of the entire Avengers cast, as well as the first MCU appearances of Black Panther and Spider-Man. As such, Captain America: Brave New World may not measure up to the heights of the Captain America franchise, but it will probably be a median performer in terms of its domestic opening.
Aside from its comparison to other MCU films, Captain America: Brave New World is likely to outperform its primary competition for its opening weekend, Paddington in Peru. The latter film is projected to earn between $16-25 million during its first three days in theaters, meaning that the former will likely claim the top box office slot that weekend.
