Captain America: Civil War passed another milestone on its first Monday in theatres, earning $13.4 million and (very slightly) surpassing the $13.2m made by Avengers: Age of Ultron on its first Monday. According to a new report from Deadline, Civil War's Monday box office also topped Marvel's Iron Man 3 ($11.3m), Superman Returns ($12.9m) and Man of Steel ($12.6m). Through four days of domestic release, Civil War has earned $192.5 million, which still places it 6% behind Ultron.

During its theatrical run so far, Captain America: Civil War has scored the fifth-biggest box office opening of all time in North America, behind record-holders Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($248 million), Jurassic World ($208.8 million), and Marvel team-up films The Avengers ($207.4 million) and Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191.3 million). Captain America: Civil War also knocked off Iron Man 3 for fifth place in the all-time records, which brought in $174.1 million. The $166 million opening of Warner Bros.' Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in March is now ranked in eighth place for the biggest domestic openings in Hollywood history. Deadline currently assesses Civil War to be the highest grossing live action film of the summer of 2016.

Captain America: Civil War is now in theatres.

@auditore - Okay, with a resemblance that strong, I might be okay with a young Luke movie.

I am on the fence as to if this is a true third movie of a trilogy. To me it is a great movie, but I am having a hard time thinking of it as a Captain America film. If you stripped away everything except the Captain America parts, it would not be much of a film about the star spangled Avenger. In fact the best parts - Spider-man, Black Panther, Zemo and even Vision and Scarlet Witch are not really dependent on the Captain America story.

I'm guessing only a 45 percent drop-off week-to-week, so between $80 and $85 million for the second weekend.

That's such bullshit. How about we bet on it? If you're right, I have to spend the night at your house. If you're wrong, you have to spend the night at my house. Deal?

@McGee - I already regret this, but you're on, McGee! Caveat: I live under a bridge with meth addicts. But they're friendly. Maybe too friendly.

@McGee - And actually my math is way off. A drop of 45 percent would mean $97-100 million.

A 45% drop would be a miracle. It will probably be around 55.
