Captain America: Brave New World shows downward slump in box office collections but clings to North America lead
Entertainment Hollywood There haven't been many takers for the Anthony Mackie superhero film. It's almost like everyone misses Chris Evans in the role a bit too much.
Marvel and Disney's Captain America: Brave New World clung to the top of the North American box office this weekend despite a steep drop from its opening, earning an estimated $28.2 million, analysts said Sunday.
That take, on a slow February weekend, was just over one-fourth the $100 million the superhero film earned at its opening.
No great reviews for the new Captain America film
Reviews of the movie, with Anthony Mackie in the title role, have been decidedly weak.
Neon Studio's new comedy-horror film The Monkey, based on a short story by Stephen King, opened in second place for the Friday-through-Sunday period, taking in an estimated $14.2 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported.
Theo James, Rohan Campbell and Elijah Wood star in the movie about a demonic toy monkey that is linked to a series of horrific deaths.
