Won't even do close to that, the overseas market is carrying this film because it's not really doing much in the states. It did 153m its first week and 69m its second week, with US coming out this week I can see Captain Marvel falling to second place.

My date took her daughter to see it again after her daughter asking to see it again. It’s a hit

 

[Wayans Brehs]

I went to see it this past weekend and the movie was good. Samuel Jackson is the truth. I dont see why people are up in arms over this.

 

[Detroit Wave]

It was a solid movie and i like how they handled her powers on screen. this shyt was like an appetizer for endgame

Yea, I missed out any conversation prior to my initial post. As to your point. I don't think the issue was it being a fiction character rather than producing a negative stereotype, like OF COURSE Monica is living in a single-parent/mother household and no father figure in the scene. It's pointing to the stereotype of black families are without their fathers. But being that this is a feminist film, I sorta got it as well as the issue with Nick Fury being a bit emasculated and other feminist themes and symbolism throughout. I wasn't tripping off that. Had I was, then my issue would of been over how they changed Mar-Vell from a he to a she.

My whole issue is first and foremost, why Feige decided Carol Danvers? Was it to satisfy the whole #metoo & #timesup group where white women hijacked these movements that were started by black women? What was wrong with doing Monica Rambeau, who was historically a more popular character and narratively made more sense as someone who would eventually lead the Avengers which did happen in the comics. Was it because it is hard for people to imagine the face of Marvel or someone who is leader of the Avenger being a black woman? Never the less, he chose Carol Danvers and that's fine, and it would of been cool had the initial idea was ol' girl from the new "She's Gotta Have It" Netflix series was Monica as it was rumored, but it was scrapped. And I dunno how that would look like, but Feige greenlit this notion of having Monica be a little girl dealing with a single mother (stereotype again) and her "hero" is a white woman is a bit insulting. It's insulting for black women and for those who follow the comics.

There's another person who pointed out that Marvel itself was trying to erased or whitewash Monica even before the release of this film. So, it is an issue that I felt needed to be addressed.

Marvel is "woke"?

Holy shyt! I had no idea. Thanks for the info. I just went down a serious rabbit hole on YT about this. Wow!

How is this making such a huge impact at the box office, you couldn't pay me to watch this trash.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Now that Carol Danvers has been lighting up the globe for almost two weeks, she’s headed to the $800M mark worldwide. Disney/Marvel’s Captain Marvel has grossed $797M through Tuesday, including $519.3M at the international box office.

With these scores, the Brie Larson-starrer has now surpassed Deadpool ($783M), Spider-Man 2 ($784M) and Deadpool 2 ($785M) to become the No. 18 global superhero pic of all time.

Overseas, she has topped X-Men: Days Of Future Past ($514M) to claim the No. 14 international superhero title.

The origins story is essentially playing in the same vein as other Marvel brethren. The second week has been fueled by fans as well as interest in how Carol ties in to Avengers: Endgame.

The estimated gross on Tuesday internationally was $10.2M with China still leading the proceedings at $135.7M through yesterday ($137.5M through today according to local reporting, though she is still 2nd place behind Taiwanese pic More Than Blue). In Korea, the No. 2 CM market, the total through Tuesday is $37.5M (and $37.9M per local estimates through today). Rounding out the Top 5 we have the UK ($32.9M), Brazil ($26.1M) and Mexico ($25.7M) – all through Tuesday.

I don't think I've seen a less effective boycott / hater squad. They'll try to spin this somehow too. :MauryORly:
