Despite generally less-than-favorable reviews, Captain America: Brave New World soared to the top spot in this weekend’s domestic box office with an $88.5 million debut. The fourth installment in the Captain America films and the 35th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford and follows its eponymous lead as he tries to foil another globe-threatening plot. The superhero flick is projected to gross $100 million through the Presidents Day holiday weekend, making it the biggest opening weekend of the year so far. It also earned an impressive $92.4 million overseas. Meanwhile, coming in second place is Paddington in Peru, which grossed $13 million over the weekend and is expected to reach $16 million by the end of the holiday weekend. The third Paddington film has mainly triumphed in the international market, however, grossing $115 million worldwide to date. In third place is the Valentine’s Day-themed slasher flick Heart Eyes, which nabbed $10 million domestically.
