Anthony Mackie stated that he didn’t want to represent America while playing Captain America. Americans agreed. In one of the saddest milestones in the Disney IP slop factory,Captain America: Brave New World discovered its own brave new world as it passed or maybe more accurately crawled across the $200 million mark by taking in $35,000 this weekend.
No, I didn’t drop any zeroes. That was the weekend take in what looks like 21st place.
Disney’s Snow White fell to 14th place.
All of this is bound to freak out Disney investors. The company usually rules the summer box office and it’s off to a bad start. If Thunderbolts or Fantastic Four underperform, expect pressure for a major turnaround to mount. Disney has bet everything on IP tentpole movies and two of those just bombed. If its Marvel IP shows even clearer signs of viewer fatigue, then Disney’s summer is over before it began. And after the summer, Tron isn’t going to bail things out, Avatar 300 will no doubt make money, but those billions won’t make up for lost billions.
Schadenfreude strikes again 🙂
First, the movie came out over 2 months ago. So, it falling to 21st means what exactly?
Second, the move more than doubled its investment. That is assuming you can trust the numbers.,
That said maybe given the right writing and attitude it could have made 3 to 5 times its investment, so the producers, writers and actor left money on the table that could have been theres if they had been better people..

Enjoy a shitty film with an America hating lead.
What, you actually using Wikipedia?
Wow. Incredibly deep and insightful analysis – “those billions won’t make up for lost billions.” Thank the Lord for Greenfield.
There is just no way your incredibly simplistic communist mind could contemplate the concept of “billions of dollars”
No doubt it ‘made’ money.
Thanks to Disney fudging the accounting.
Anyone still supporting Disney needs to report to the ‘braindead’ reprogramming center immediately.
Meanwhile those in the right-wing echo chamber … have seen so much garbage from Disney …
… they’re starting to claim Walt Disney invented pedophilia –
– maybe in 1619 or something like that.
They should have just called it Captain Liberia.
Why waste your money and gasoline to go see a movie? It’s kinda dumb to spend the time and effort go see a movie that will likely disappoint you. The smart (and cheap) thing to do is wait a few months and it’ll be available via the internet for free!
As Goofy might have said, “Gawrsh!”
