‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Smashes This Weekend’s Box Office Opening Night With New Projections Sending It Over The $100 Million Mark

This Valentine’s Day weekend saw the release of a new Marvel movie, Captain America: Brave New World, and as expected, the box office is bursting with love for the superhero flick. Its release last night garnered around $12 million, and today’s projections aim for around $39 million. In around 4 days, we can expect to see upwards of $90 million earned as predicted previously.

In addition to Captain America: Brave New World, we also saw a strong performance by Paddington in Peru, which has earned $4.5 million so far. However, with the holiday weekend comes more moviegoers, placing Paddington in Peru’s 4-day projection at over $15 million.

Dog Man continues to perform well. Its weekend projection sits at $10 million, placing its running cumulative earnings at $70 million. Heart Eyes is looking at just under $20 million by the end of the day on Monday if it continues its impressive holding pattern. In fifth place is the Chinese animated movie Ne Zha 2 at $6.5 million in a 4-day span. Although, in China, it sits at a staggering $1.37 billion.

With such great performances from all these films, it will be exciting to see how these numbers develop over the course of the weekend.
