As it approaches its fourth weekend in theaters, Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World is still clinging on to the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office, and might well do so until Disney's Snow White arrives on March 21.
It's a minor win for a movie which has underperformed since a strong opening on February 14, but despite mostly negative reviews and a franchise-low B- CinemaScore, the fourth Captain America movie - and first with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) wielding the shield - is hanging in there.
Brave New World's domestic total now sits at $166.1 million, taking it past Eternals' final cume of $164.9 million. It is expected to pass $175 million by Sunday.
Some analysts predict that Brave New World may struggle to reach $400 million worldwide by the end of its run, but others believe it will likely top out at the $405-410 million range. The latest MCU movie had a reported production budget of $180M, but this is before marketing costs, and some believe the actual budget would be closer to $300M after extensive reshoots (this has not been confirmed).
