Part 4/9:
Box office statistics show a stark contrast between Brave New World and past installments of the franchise. A reported 5.7 million people attended the film, generating revenues just above $16 per ticket on average. In comparison, the very first Captain America film in 2011 attracted 8.2 million audience members, despite being released during a time when the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was still nascent. This decline in audience size illustrates a drop in interest that cannot merely be attributed to rising ticket prices.
