BOX OFFICE: Captain America: The First Avenger Opens With $53.5M In 23 Markets!

2.3 million per? That is considered great?

^ Butthurt DC fanboy

good,good

I'm really worried about Cap's box-office numbers in France since it opens one week after Green Lantern. If GL is that not impressive, I fear some will drop out super-hero movies right after such a disappointment...

I haven't seen it yet,so I'll watch it at least 2 times

thats a really great start, guys

only in 23 markets and 53 millions??

that's pretty good...

I can see the movie getting 150-200 in the foreign market easily.

@thegoddamnsuperguy: remove ur superman undies take out ur grren latern buttplug and please stuff a retractable baton up ur DC ass

I hope Cap keeps going strong, I've seen it three times now and it's hands-down one of my favorite CBMs. Fingers crossed for some sequel news...

@ parafonia

2.3 million per? That is considered great?

that ain't bad considering america is about fifty times bigger than the uk.

You guys should go to boxofficemojo.com

As of right now,

Thor leads the CBMs this summer with almost $450 mil, Xmen is next with $330-$350 mil, Cap is next with $180 mil, and then there is Green Lantern with $150 mil i do believe...and these are worldwide figures.

Theres your big four, so far; though Harry Potter and Transformers are over a billion and a little under a billion respectively.

@GODDAMNSUPERGUY- Dude I'm with "JULEZ" on this. I normally don't disagree with you but [frick] man...Cap was the best film of 2011. Well that or First Class.

Green Lantern sucked big time.

Thor was weaker than GL (in my honest opinion but neither was that great)

But come on dude, Cap was epic. It had- story, action, romance all meshed so well together.

Superman Returns was an ABORTION of a Superman film. By ragging on Captain America, you are thereby promoting Bryan Singer and his abortion Superman film as a great thing when it really wasn't.

I am no Marvel-fan. But I gotta say...GO CAP!!!

At least Captain America gave us a great film before Superman did. I mean...5 Superman films and none of them were anywhere near as good as Cap's film (again, just my opinion)

@Intruder

Will it be B.S. next year if Rango says TDKR made more money then Thor, Captain America and I will go there,The Avengers? Look everybody is playing this game.You yourself have come on the DC threads and taken your shots as well.Do what you have been doing and lay out your numbers.As a DC guy I mostly don't agree with you, but (for what it's worth) I respect you making a case based on numbers we can all go over.What has Rango said that is B.S.?

@fsucsu
Did you just leave Superman,Superman 2 and Batman Returns off the list of good DC films? If you want to go there.Those films are loaded with pop culture Icons.Say the name Christopher Reeve(God rest his soul) and people will think Superman,say "Kneel before Zod" and people remember Terrance Stamp.Michelle pfeiffer is still remembered as the Catwoman.People still remember Jim Carry from Batman Forever. Gene Hackman and frickin Brando are still remembered from Superman.Toby Maguire as Spider-Man,and Huge Jackman as Wolverine,Halley Berry as Storm,Patrick Stewart as Prof X and Ian Mckellan as Magneto in the X-Men films, are Iconic, but outside of RDJ as Ironman,the rest of Marvel Studios(in house) product has yet to rise to that level.Maybe after the Avengers but not yet. Great your a Marvel fan and have much to be proud of,but lets have a little respect.

And to end my rant...

@GODDAMNSUPERGUY-

At least Captain America didn't let down his fans.

This is Cap's year. And as long as Superman doesn't [frick] up again...then MAYBE 2013 will be his year. But competing with Thor2 and IM3 I just don't know. Marvel/Disney has proven far more competent with their CBMs than DC/WB. I may be a DC-fanboy but I aint blind. Marvel is where it's at with CBMs.
