Captain America: Brave New World is looking to top the weekend box office in its second weekend of release, but the film is making considerably less than in its opening.

According to Variety, Disney Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World is projected to hold on to the top spot at the weekend box office with an estimated domestic take of $28.3 million.

Despite the No. 1 hold, however, Variety noted business for Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford’s Marvel Cinematic Universe action-adventure has dropped 68% in business in its second weekend. The film posted a $100 million opening over the four-day President’s Day weekend.

Should the estimate hold, it will boost the latest MCU chapter’s domestic tally to $141 million. Variety noted that the steep drop, however, puts it in the company of other Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which suffered a 70% drop in its second weekend after $106 million opening debut.

Captain America: Brave New World is playing in 4,105 North American theaters.
