BOX OFFICE: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Set To Remain At #1 This Weekend With $77 Million Haul
Captain America: Civil War looks set to have some serious staying power this weekend by remaining #1 at the North America box office, but how much longer will it be until it reaches $1 billion worldwide?
Captain America: Civil War is entering its second weekend in North America, and according to Variety, Marvel's first Phase 3 release looks set to bring in an impressive haul of $77 million. That's despite competition from Money Monster, the Jodie Foster helmed thriller which stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts, a movie which actually looks set to perform better than expected with $15 million.
That's obviously chump change compared to what Captain America: Civil War is looking at, and with an estimated $22 million today, it looks like the movie will have a drop of around 57%, a number which isn't too different to what happened to Avengers: Age of Ultron last year during its second weekend. Good word of mouth has obviously helped this one, but worked against Batman v Superman.
Only a handful of releases have exceeded the $70 million mark in its second weekend, and with an expected worldwide haul of $800 million by the end of today, that $950 million prediction for Sunday looks likely, and $1 billion is now just a matter of days away, a huge victory for Marvel Studios.
