Kosher and Kenny Charismatic get into Captain America The Civil War. Kosher tells Kenny that the movie is all about Becky with the long hair, oops he means Bucky. He feels Captain dropped his shield for a cape and is out here changing his name to Capetain. Kenny feels the movie was done well and it delievered on giving everyone screen time but it did not stay true to the comics. Kosher says the horror/scary movie genre is alive and well with a new direction/plot that can be explored. Kosher and Kenny give their take on the rumors of Mayweather vs Mcgregor and if the fight happens bet the bank on Floyd.

NY Times---- Disney v. Warner: How Captain America Beat Batman and Superman

998cbfff80129ed693f92baf1efe4222.jpg


On paper, this season’s big superhero action films — “Captain America: Civil War” and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” — from the rival studios Disney and Warner Bros. could almost be the same movie, so similar are their plots, action sequences and allusions to heavyweight themes of topical interest.

Still, “Batman v Superman” would seem to have the edge where it really matters to the studios, which is at the box office. It opened first (on March 25). It had the two most valuable intellectual properties in the comic book universe, appearing together in starring roles. And it had enough A-list Hollywood talent to fill a multiplex.

Yet the results are in, and it’s not even close. The theatrical run of “Batman v Superman” is all but over, with a worldwide box office gross of $871 million. “Captain America” has surged past $1 billion in just three weeks.

Warner insists its film will earn a profit. But given that the studio gets only about half the box-office gross, any profit margin will be slim after deducting the film’s enormous production and marketing costs. And that has to be a disappointment considering what the studio must have expected. (Marvel’s “Avengers” topped $1.5 billion in 2012.)

More worrisome for Warner and its parent, Time Warner Inc., is that “Batman v Superman” was supposed to reboot the entire DC Comics universe and create a multibillion-dollar superhero franchise to rival Marvel’s. Now that’s in question.

“This is a significant misstep for the DC brand,” said Doug Creutz, senior media and entertainment analyst for Cowen & Company. “They’ve damaged their credibility with their audience. I’m not saying they can’t recover, but their next few movies had better be really good.

At one level, the explanation for the outcome is simple: “Captain America” is a much better movie. After a marathon of superhero moviegoing in Times Square this week, I can attest to that.

But you don’t need to take my word for it, or that of the established critics who praised “Captain America” and panned “Batman v Superman.” After a big opening weekend, attendance at “Batman v Superman” plunged, suggesting bad word of mouth. On the website Rotten Tomatoes, 91 percent of the audience said they liked “Captain America.” Just 67 percent liked “Batman v Superman.”

The starkly different outcomes show how difficult it is to make a successful blockbuster, even for a studio with an enviable track record like Warner Bros. (“Harry Potter,” “Lord of the Rings”). Sony faltered with its latest Spider-Man installment and forged a partnership with Marvel allowing its superhero to return to the Marvel fold. Fox has at times struggled with its X-Men franchise.

But whatever secret code of art and science produces a superhero blockbuster, Disney seems to have cracked it. “Captain America” is the 13th consecutive successful installment in the Marvel film universe. After buying Marvel for $4 billion, Disney has turned even obscure comic book characters into box-office bonanzas (“Ant-Man”), and it has managed to combine them in unexpected yet captivating ways.

BOX OFFICE: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Is Now The Highest Grossing Movie Of 2016 In North America. Fourth highest grossing superhero movie of all-time

CaptainAmerica-CivilWar-SimonDelart.png


No one expected Deadpool to earn anywhere near what it did back in February, and it becoming 2016's highest grossing movie in North America is something which could have never been predicted. However, the R-Rated movie's haul of $362.7 million has finally been beaten by, what else, a Marvel Studios movie. Captain America: Civil War has made an estimated $19.5 million this Memorial Day weekend to take its total up to a mighty $372.7 million domestically. It's also #1 worldwide.

With $730.7 million overseas, Captain America: Civil War has now earned a total of $1.108 billion. That makes it the fourth highest grossing superhero movie of all-time, and chances are it won't be beaten until Rogue One: A Star Wars Story comes along this December. Check out a new Spider-Man centric TV spot for the movie in the player below and be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place.

"After buying Marvel for $4 billion,"

This still is unbelievable every time I read it. To think of the profit Disney has made since they bought Marvel :wow:

And they have Pixar :wow:
They also bought the Star Wars franchise for a few billion and already made that money back after releasing one film.
