I don't know why people are bragging about the numbers. Ant-Man 3 (which flopped) had better numbers on the same weekend 2 years ago. When it got 17.5 million on it's preview night and 120 million in it's 4 day weekend. And it was a complete financial disaster ending it's run with only 463 million for it's total gross.

Maybe it’s more about exceeding expectations? That’s a good point of comparison though. Cap 4 coming in lower than Ant 3 isn’t a great sign. But more recently Mufasa started slow but just kept so that could be the pattern. We’ll see what happens.

My theater had some occasional groans and most people stayed for the pointless post credit scene. There was some laughter at Agent Bat-Seraph's Yoda fight scene. Everyone walked out silent.
However, Ford and Mackie worked well together. They were fun to watch.

And you started digging and dancing all over the grave of Mufasa when it started low, and see how that turned out. So lets not start digging a grave and dancing on it just yet, its going to be interesting ride to see where this one ends up.
And I like how people say "only getting x amount", when almost every other movie would kill for those numbers. The unrealistic expectations for Disney movies to get $1B+ have to stop.
Hmmm my theater had a few cheers when a couple of characters showed up which I won’t divulge here

It sounds like he was in a theater of grumpy people, because my theater was pretty similar to yours.

well, per Google AI it actually would be 8th .... but perhaps I shouldn't just take AIs word for it or maybe they have some limitation on it - but this is what i looked at quick

I’d not be so sure about Brave New World doing well in its second weekend with that B- CinemaScore.

Apparently it was AI acting weird. Not sure why the one paired with Google’s search engine seems so glitchy but I’ve had that happen too.
Found a table that shows the 3-day opening ranks 24th out of 35 MCU films. It shows Civil War was tenth largest opening weekend with $179M. Quantumania was number 19 with $106M. So below that, not a disaster but not inspiring confidence in the franchise’s $$$ direction.

The $100 million opening is the 4-day estimate. 3-day is $88.5 million.
Google AI is missing some movies on your list, like Ant Man 3.

The issue with that AI list is that it is not adjusted for inflation. Some of those movies are over a decade old, and the inflation adjustment is huge on them.
The result is Captain America: Brave New World is one of the weakest openings in MCU box office history.
Here's a list of the most recent Captain America compared to the top 5 movies on that list, but this time adjusted for inflation. It really shows the difference in the very modest opening weekend for Captain America compared to some of its most successful MCU predecessors.

Joanna Robinson and Dave Gonzalez, who wrote the book "MCU: The Rise of Marvel Studios” are saying it cost 380 million for Captain Falcon.

This has really just become pathetic, you're like a dog with a bone that won't let go. And now the number has changed again, so again I question the source. If you're so sure about the source why didn't you link to the place where they provided this tidbit of information.
But for a second lets say the budget is $350M+, I don't believe that but for the sake of argument, so what? How does that affect you? How does the affect the overall movie? How does that affect anything other than Disney's bottomline? If Disney wants to spend hundred of Millions on a movie, that is their right as a studio. Your only right as a moviegoer is to decide if you want to see it or not, and I know you have already decided you aren't going to see this one. So again I ask, how does this affect you? You've already decided you weren't going to see this one, so this has no impact on you whatsoever. And its not like Disney is going to stop making MCU movies, or even movies with Mackie in them as Cap. So what does it do other than to clog up these threads with misinformation and rants.
Back on the budget, I think what people have really gotten confused by is that its likely this talk about a $350M+ budget is really talking about budget+marketing costs, which that I can actually believe. And because it got lost in translation by a bad game of "telephone" it became just the budget and people ran with it. But again for our purposes in regards to talking about the profitability of the movie we use the published number, not the unverified rumors that could very well be made up or at the very least misunderstood.

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Opened to $100 Million, Does a ‘B-’ CinemaScore Spell Trouble For Staying Power?
"Captain America: Brave New World" opened to a mighty $100 million. But how will the superhero sequel hold in subsequent weeks at the box office?

It also has a lot to do with certain sect of YouTubers For purposes of a grift narrative…. And then their followers who don’t fact check their statements take it as the headlines in the entertainment industry
