Captain America: Brave New World Leads Box Office Despite 68% Drop

Anthony Mackie's 'Captain America: Brave New World' retained the top spot at the North American box office with an estimated $28.2 million in its second weekend, marking a significant 68% drop from its $100 million opening. The film, which has garnered mixed reviews, has accumulated a total of $141 million domestically and around $250 million globally. Following in second place, Neon’s horror film 'The Monkey' debuted with $14.2 million, becoming the studio's second-highest opening. 'Paddington in Peru' came in third with $6.5 million, showing a 49% decline in ticket sales. Other notable performances included 'Dog Man' with $5.9 million and the animated film 'Ne Zha 2', which added $3 million. The overall performance suggests a challenging period for Marvel's Phase 5 as several recent releases have struggled at the box office.
