Disney's new MCU movie Captain America: Brave New World makes its debut at the top of the North American box office with $88 Million.

A good result for Disney topping the box office, but for the MCU this is the lowest of the MCU movies debut gross.

Last years Deadpool and Wolverine gave a bit of a shot in the arm for the long running series and Thunderbolts due for release later this year is expected to do well, but for the old gurd maybe their time is up?

Last weeks top movie Dog Man falls to number 4 this weekend but has taken an excellent $66.8 Million since release.
