I cast Captive Audience, it enters under my opponents control. Turns pass, whatever. I cast Flicker of Fate targeting Captive Audience.

Flicker clearly states that it comes back under it's owner's control. Audience clearly states that when it enters that I give it to an opponent.

Who controls Captive Audience after Flicker?

Captive Audicence's replacement effect supersedes Flicker of Fate's instructions. You will have to choose an opponent again and it will enter under their control.

References involving Pendant of Prosperity, which has the same replacement:

From the rules:
108.3. The owner of a card in the game is the player who started the game with it in their deck. If a card
is brought into the game from outside the game rather than starting in a player's deck, its owner is
the player who brought it into the game. If a card starts the game in the command zone, its owner is
the player who put it into the command zone to start the game. Legal ownership of a card in the
game is irrelevant to the game rules except for the rules for ante. (See rule 407.)

You are the owner of Captive Audience, and nothing will change that for the duration of the game (excluding ante cards).

<edit> I'man idiot and didn't read the question correctly. My apologies.
