A $100 million 4-day domestic opening weekend for "Captain America: Brave New World" would appear to signal a profitable theatrical run for the latest Marvel Studios film — that is, if it weren't for the tepid reception that has come with it.

If Brave New World continues its eye-catching success in theaters over the next few weeks, this global total could rise to as high as $32 billion, further cementing the MCU's title as the highest-grossing franchise of all time.

The superhero pic launched ahead of expectations despite receiving a B- CinemaScore, the worst grade bestowed on any title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
