Captain America: Civil War just passed the $200 million mark at the domestic box office. It did so in its fifth day, becoming the
fifth-fastest movie ever to cross said milestone. Its $206.2m domestic cume puts it above fellow five-day champs
The Dark Knight ($203.77m),
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II ($202.6m), and
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ($200m).
Avengers: Age of Ultron did the deed in four days while
Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($247m),
Jurassic World ($208m), and
The Avengers ($207m) snagged $200m+ opening weekends.
The third
Captain America movie, which pits Captain America against Iron Man in a battle of ideology, has the fifth-biggest
five-day total of all time. It already sits ahead of
Iron Man 3‘s $196 million respective Fri-Tues cume as well as
The Dark Knight Rises ($198m),
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($193m), and
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($186m). It sits behind only
Avengers: Age of Ultron ($217m),
The Avengers ($244m),
Jurassic World ($258m), and
Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($325m).
Except for the final
Harry Potter film and
Dawn of Justice, all of the films in this conversation made it to $400 million domestic, with a few (
The Dark Knight,
The Avengers,
Jurassic World, and
The Force Awakens)
making it to $500m. What is most impressive is that the Marvel
superhero sequel earned another $13.7m on Tuesday, besting the Tuesday
grosses for
Iron Man 3 ($11.2m) and
Avengers: Age of Ultron ($13.1m). The film went up 3.8% from Monday, compared to the 0.2% rise for
Iron Man 3 and the 0.7% drop for
Age of Ultron.
Point being, at this rate,
Captain America: Civil War could
(speculation alert) end its first week with around $225-$230 million,
setting the stage for an $80-$90m second weekend (think a $9.5m Thursday
with a second weekend between 8.5 and 9.5x that figure like the last
three summer kick-off MCU titles). If that happens, and for the record
anything over $70m is a-okay, we’re looking at a ten-day total in
striking distance of
Age of Ultron‘s $313m ten-day cume. But
maybe it’s a $220m seven-day total for a $75m weekend and a $295m
ten-day cume, which is pretty spectacular too.
Iron Man 3 had $284m in ten days of U.S. play.
Regarding overseas might, the film earned another $18.8 million
foreign, bringing its Chinese total up to $112.1m, or very near the
$115m total of
Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the $121m total of
Iron Man 3. Its foreign cume is now $531m (more than the $517m global total of
Ant-Man) for a worldwide cume of $737.8m. That means that
Captain America: Civil War has topped the $714m global cume of
Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
It has now topped every MCU movie outside of
Guardians of the Galaxy ($773m),
Iron Man 2 ($1.215 billion),
Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.4b), and
The Avengers ($1.5b).
It will cross $800 million either Thursday or Friday, with a possible
shot at $1 billion worldwide by Sunday night. Different release patterns
notwithstanding,
The Avengers did it in 19 days while
Avengers: Age of Ultron ended its third weekend of worldwide release (and second weekend of domestic release) with $875m.
