The latest Disney-Marvel offering brought in another $15 million according to studio estimates Sunday, when most of Hollywood's attention was on the .
The Anthony Mackie-led at about $120 million on a three-day weekend last month, but plunged to in one of the most significant second-week drops for a Marvel movie. It's earned $163.7 since its release.
It was slammed by many critics and audiences, failing to bring the Marvel reset some had hoped for. That task now falls to May鈥檚 鈥淭hunderbolts鈥� and July鈥檚 鈥淔antastic Four: First Steps.鈥� But 鈥淐aptain America鈥� will face little competition through March, and could remain at No. 1 for a while.
The weekend's only significant new release, Focus Features' earned just $7.8 million. The based-on-a-true-story adventure starring Woody Harrelson, Simi Liu and Chris Lemons is about a routine mission that goes terribly wrong when a young diver is stranded some 300 feet below the surface.
It got strong reviews, with praising the 鈥渨hite-knuckle experience鈥� and 鈥減ure suspense and anxiety鈥� it brings.
At No. 3 was which brought in $6.4 million for a two-week total of $24.6 million. It's among the strongest openings for indie distributor Neon, whose and its director Sean Baker could make a major mark at the Oscars later Sunday.
鈥淭he Monkey鈥� marks another successful low-budget collaboration between Perkins and Neon, whose 鈥淟onglegs鈥� brought in $126.9 million globally last year.
鈥淧addington in Peru鈥� was fourth with $4.5 million in its third weekend for a total of $31.4 million.
