Captain Marvel Tramples Internet Trolls & Skyrockets to Estimated $160M Opening
- Thread starter Bronx-Man
- Start date
Estimates point to it, but probably best to wait for official Friday numbers and Sat estimates before going too hard with the $160m opener.
Having said that, it is a huge success out of the gate, and the word of mouth should be very strong on this. The lack of meaningful (no, Slayven, Wonder Park is not meaningful) competition for weeks will be a help as well.

NOT A RECORD!
By end of third weekend maybe? Dunno until we see how the rest of the weekend and weekdays next week play out. But it will beat that domestic total either way.
I'm thinking its gonna get very close to 500m in the end.
It could in theory go up or down to up to 10%, but there is enough data from past releases to extrapolate how the film does over the weekend, most blockbusters have the same pattern of friday -> increase on saturday -> decrease on sunday (percentage-wise, there are some exceptions where the film gets so well received it stays flat on Sunday, or the word of mouth is so bad it collapses on Sunday) so it's fairly easy to guess how Captain Marvel should do based only on Thursday pre-shows and Friday box office.
Simple enough, thanks!
Wife and I saw it in dolby today afternoon, theater was entirely packed and my AMC is running the movie every 15 minutes in the evening across many theaters. So yeah, it should do really well, especially since there really isn't strong opening for a few weeks - Us (Jordan Peele) next week, Dumbo 2 weeks later so really empty month.
Wonder Woman blows this movie out of the water in every way except box office I guess, be interesting to see how WW2 does in comparison to this. Also be interesting to see how China receives this movie, they are super unpredictable when it comes to western movies.

lmao I don't know how anyone thought a Marvel movie whose MC was directly referenced at the end of Infinity War would ever bomb.
Its currently doing very well in China, so a very strong international take this weekend should also be expected.

No one needs to know what a predator has to say.
Anyways, I'm glad it's doing well. It was a good movie experience for me.
Re: china it really depends on whether TenCent is doing the marketing for the film there.
Anyone thinking the movie would be a flop would be extremely misguided as it is a MCU movie. Not only that, it's also a MCU movie that has been built up for a while, starring an important character that is gonna be the main character moving forward. There is 0 reason to think that it would be a flop.
I can't believe anyone legitimately thought it would bomb, it's just usual people that are hateful for the sake of being hateful and some others trying to bait reactions.

Good. It's not an amazing film but its solid. I actually liked the female empowerment moments the most.
So did a lot of people here for some reason
This movie is gonna have strong WoM and solid legs considering the upcoming competition.
I hope this is the case, but Deadline has no idea how math works. Their estimates constantly shift throughout the weekend. So I wouldn't use them as a barometer of anything until the studio officially releases numbers Sunday and Monday. Doesn't mean Captain Marvel isn't a huge success by any definition, but better to get the facts straight before we start crowing.
I can't believe anyone thought this shit was going to bomb. The average person doesn't care about whatever these losers decided to be mad at Brie Larson for and they don't care about audience reviews either. A Marvel movie isn't going to do badly until at least after Endgame.
Did people seriously expect the Infinity War 2 prologue to fail? Places like Deadline give internet trolls way too much power.
Movie was a lot of fun, will watch again. Top tier Marvel, phase 3 might end up to be my favorite overall.
That's a lot of money! Probably gonna watch this week if I can, along with DBS Broly which also comes out this week in my country. Better late than never I guess.
I hear there is a Stan Lee tribute? Worth it, if only just for that (though reviews are promising regardless).

Circumstantial but I'll say the theater I was in was packed and it seemed a lot of people enjoyed it so hopefully it'll have good word of mouth.
