The third Captain America movie (which sorta kinda but not really doubles as the third Avengers movie) took in a strong $75.2 million on Friday, with $25 million of that coming from Thursday night showings. This is fantastic, considering Winter Solider opened two years ago to $95 million, a figure Civil War will have passed by the time you read this. The slight problem comes from the Expectation Game. Civil War felt like it was a lock to be the fourth member of the $200 million opening club. It’s got all of the Avengers, earned terrific reviews, is following Winter Solider, which is considered one of the best movies in the Marvel Comic Universe, and it isn’t Batman v. Superman. There is literally nothing negative to report about the opening day box office of Civil War. It’s the eighth largest single day of all time. But in this era of the mega-opening, this sure feels like a letdown when you’re looking for it to duplicate the opening weekend of Age of Ultron.

Anyway, looking at Winter Soldier, that movie’s Friday was $37 million with $10.2 million of that from Thursday showings. It finished the opening weekend with $95 million. That’s a 2.56 multiplier when you include Thursday’s number and a 3.16 when you don’t. If Civil War duplicates that feat, it’s somewhere between $183 million and $192 million. I will remind you for the third time that Winter Solider opened to $95 million. Sequels, especially when going from the second movie to the third movie, aren’t supposed to earn nearly $100 million more than the previous film on opening weekend. Civil War’s opening weekend will be a very strong $185 million.

Lastly, we point and laugh at Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice one final time. Clinging to tenth place on Friday with $219,000, it now stands at $325.6 million. Let us count the days until Civil War crosses that figure.

Hold up when nikkas was shytting on the last movie it was all jokes but when it come to civil war people are "too grown for this" :ehh: :jbhmm:

Nah, folks are just tired of @Yo Yo Ma's sixtieth troll thread about box office numbers. Civil War is about to pass $700 million worldwide this weekend, after its first domestic weekend. It's opening bigger than BvS in every market too and that's info available to anyone who bothers to check Deadline every once in a while so there's no reason to waste time on this thread other than dropping that one star.

Civil War still has Sat/Sun to go. They might get big numbers these two days. Don't light up your victory cigar yet.

If BvS does have a bigger opening weekend though, as much as the DC/Marvel stan wars annoy me, I won't mind this thread. Marvel stans were being unbearable when everyone was shytting on BvS...throwing celebratory posts and shyt. Just to see them cop pleas that "Oh Civil War will still make more!", "Atleast people liked this film!", "No one talks about BvS anymore" will be hilarious because they swore they were going to get a bigger opening weekend and perhaps $200mil with this film. They'd deserve that egg on their face atleast.

Still too early though. And either way, both companies still making bank and we not.

I had to put a bunch of brehs on ignore for the first time in my Coli career due to that. It got unbearable, and I'm fan of Marvel, DC. and Fox's Marvel. :wow: Dudes out here acting like they got they got a stake in this like it's a football game or something. :scust:
