If it does end up closer to the $24M mark, Captain Marvel will rank as the second best preview night for March behind only Batman v. Superman‘s 2016 take of $27.7M. It'll also come in just under Black Panther's $25.2M and the $25 million Captain America: Civil War amassed back in 2016.
It remains to be seen if the movie continues to perform like this over the weekend, of course, but after becoming Fandango's top advance ticket seller since Avengers: Infinity War and with am 82% certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes from 248 reviews, we certainly wouldn't bet against it!
