Captain Marvel will cross $1b worldwide this week professor zovek Apr 02, 13:38

Solid. But domestically its stuck on "Spider Man 3" territory and will struggle to break 400 million. {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 15:10

That's just your own artificial "recrod". {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 15:16

*record {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 15:16

Actually Disney was hoping for 450 domestic (off the opening) which is definitely not happening. {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 16:59

Says who? CMARV has better legs than IRNM2, IRNM3, CAPA3, AVNG2, GOTG2... {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 17:07

It will struggle to catch the final domestic totals of many of those. CM had a huge opening, so Disney was thinking 3X mtp like other Mavels {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 17:12

IRNM2, IRNM3, CAPA3, GOTG2, AVNG2 and not even AVNG3 made 3X opening. {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 17:15

But "Black Panther" did, which was the last solo new Marvel film. {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 17:22

So now you've further moved the goalpost to BPNTH, which no other MCU has matched either. {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 17:28

If look the new Marvel solo films. Most have done 3X multiplier domestic in their first films. Disney wasn't crazy to think it would happen. VictorY Apr 02, 18:09

CMARV has the second highest opening for a Marvel solo film. Disney is very happy. {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 18:23

The opening doesn't mean much if its front-loaded. The last solo Marvel film not to do 3X (I believe) was the Norton Hulk movie. {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 18:31

Wrong. Spider-Man: Homecoming, DRSTR, THOR and CAPAM didn't do 3X. {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 18:42

But pretty darn close. CM is looking at 2.5 or 6 multiplier in comparison. {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 18:45

Again, CMARV has made more than $1 Billion worldwide. Only an idiot would argue that it's a failure. {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 18:52

SM3 made close to 900 million world-wide, and then changes were made. Just being honest. {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 18:55

Disney is not making any changes. Captain Marvel will be in CMARV2, AVNG5...etc. {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 18:59

Spider-Man 3 made 336 million. CM is at 353 million & opening weekend was basically the same jamesbik333 Apr 02, 15:27

To clarify: SM3 was the only other Marvel film to open 150+ miilion and not break 400 million domestic. {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 17:01

So random. {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 17:08

I'll make one up: SM3 is the only other Marvel film to open 150+ miilion and not break $350M. CMARV broke $350M! {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 17:11

Nice. However beating SM3 dosen't scream franchise strength either. Matching the other Marvel film final domestic runs would have. {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 17:14

You're the one who made up a random comparison to SPID3. {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 17:17

Actually. SM3 was polarizing to fans also. {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 17:21

CMARV is only divisive for a small minority of male trolls. {nm} Antibody Apr 02, 17:26

... who were polarized against it long before release. Most probably never even saw it. {nm} BSmurf Apr 02, 17:51

SM3 had a budget of 258m, at the time an industry record. CM cost 100m LESS & will gross around 200m MORE. And its not the end of a trilogy. HurricaneKid Apr 02, 21:16

SM3 was the 3rd film in it's series, and had the previous 2 to live up to. CM is the first CM movie. It's performing just fine. {nm} sir_writer Apr 03, 06:10

Black Panther was still reporting box office 6 months after its opening. Disney could keep Captain Marvel in theaters as long as it takes professor zovek Apr 02, 17:15

It doesn't have legs like BP did. That won't happen. It doesn't have "Wonder Woman" legs either. {nm} VictorY Apr 02, 17:20

The other MCU films which opened above $150 all opened over $174m. CM's IM will be higher than IM3, CA3, and Avengers 2 {nm} numbersix_99 Apr 03, 01:57

So when it breaks $400M domestically, will you finally give this a rest? {nm} benz0 Apr 02, 16:00

This is just silly. It will break $1b worldwide on a $150m budget. It is a massive success. Some points... numbersix_99 Apr 03, 01:55

it's currently ahead of Wonder Woman domestically...wish BOM would o a showdown {nm} tealfan Apr 02, 17:21

*do {nm} tealfan Apr 02, 17:21

WW made $94.45M after it's 4th weekend, with GREAT holds. CM will need to make more to reach $450, but the Avengers is coming...{nm} Decoman Apr 03, 11:03

Get your jousting with VictorY in while you can . . . before he and guys like him are replaced {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Apr 02, 22:24
