Sleepy Oscar Weekend At The Box Office With ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Holding No. 1, Thriller ‘Last Breath’ Looking For Oxygen
'Captain America: Brave New World' will lead a sleepy Oscars weekend at the domestic box office with $14M.
Last year Oscar weekend had Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s Kung Fu Panda 4 opening to $57.9M, while 2023 had Paramount/Spyglass’ Scream VI opening to a franchise domestic record of $44.4M, while 2022 (when the ceremony fell on a March 27) saw the return of the rom com with Paramount’s Sandra Bullock-Channing Tatum movie Lost City posting a $30.4M start. While the comp on Brave New World has been 2023’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, that threequel’s third weekend ran into Amazon MGM Studios’ Creed III which stole all the Imax and PLF screens, generating a -60% decline for the Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lillly movie. Written by Mitchell LaFortune, Alex Parkinson and David Brooks and based on a true story, Last Breath follows a seasoned deep-sea diver as he battles the raging elements to rescue his crewmate trapped hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface.
