    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    “Captain America: Brave New World” kept falling but still hovered above all others at a weak weekend box office.

    The latest Disney-Marvel offering brought in another $15 million according to studio estimates Sunday, when most of Hollywood’s attention was on the Oscars.

    The Anthony Mackie-led “Captain America: Brave New World” opened strong at about $120 million on a three-day weekend last month, but plunged to $28.2 million last week 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’s “Thunderbolts” and July’s “Fantastic Four: First Steps.” But “Captain America” will face little competition through March, and could remain at No. 1 for a while.

    The weekend’s only significant new release, Focus Features’ “Last Breath,” earned just $7.8 million. The based-on-a-true-story adventure starring Woody Harrelson, Simi Liu and Chris Lemons is about a routine deep-sea diving mission that goes terribly wrong when a young diver is stranded some 300 feet below the surface.

    It got strong reviews, with Lindsey Bahr of The Associated Press praising the “white-knuckle experience” and “pure suspense and anxiety” it brings.

    At No. 3 was Oz Perkins’ “The Monkey,” 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 film “Anora,” and its director Sean Baker could make a major mark at the Oscars later Sunday.

    “The Monkey” marks another successful low-budget collaboration between Perkins and Neon, whose “Longlegs” brought in $126.9 million globally last year.

    “Paddington in Peru” was fourth with $4.5 million in its third weekend for a total of $31.4 million.

    Cate Blanchett Laments That The #MeToo Movement “Got Killed Very Quickly” In Hollywood

    Sunday, May 17, 2026

    Cate Blanchett said the #MeToo movement "got killed very quickly" in Hollywood, speaking Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival.

    In a wide-ranging staged conversation, Blanchett lamented that the tide of #MeToo has been turned in Hollywood, where she has been outspoken about gender equality.

    "It got killed very quickly, which I think is interesting," said Blanchett.

    "There are a lot of people with platforms who are able to speak up with relative safety and say this has happened to me," Blanchett said. "And the so-called average woman on the street, person on the street, is saying MeToo. Why does that get shut down?"

    In 2018, when she was president of the jury in Cannes, Blanchett took part in a red-carpet protest. She and 81 other women appeared on the steps of the Palais des Festivals, symbolically representing the number of female director who were selected for Cannes' competition lineup. Over the same period, 1,866 male directors had been selected.

    "I'm still on film sets and I do the headcount every day. There's 10 women and there's 75 men every morning," Blanchett said.

    "I love men, but what happens is the jokes become the same,' she said. "You just have to brace yourself slightly, and I'm used to that, but it just gets boring for everybody when you walk into a homogeneous workplace."
