Captain Marvel's box office run may be nearing its end (especially with Avengers: Endgame on the horizon), but it managed to hit another impressive benchmark this weekend. After passing the $400 million mark in North America, the Marvel Studios movie has earned a mighty $1.089 billion at the global box office.

It was clear from the start that Captain Marvel stood a very good chance of earning over $1 billion and this result has no doubt made Kevin Feige and company very happy, especially as Brie Larson is being positioned as the new face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

That $1.089 billion is significant for another reason too, though; Captain Marvel has now made more than any of the Batman movies (individually, not in total). 

The Dark Knight Rises is the highest grossing film starring the Caped Crusader, but Captain Marvel has surpassed that to become the 9th highest grossing superhero movie in history and the 25th biggest movie ever behind Transformers: Age of Extinction. It's hard to believe that a comparatively obscure character like Captain Marvel has topped the iconic DC Comics hero, but perhaps Matt Reeves' The Batman will change things.

The Last Blockbuster Store



While Blockbuster's time has been and gone, one store remains in Bend, Orgon. It's become something of a tourist trap given the nostalgia factor and all but what you may not realise is that Captain Marvel actually travelled there to shoot scenes for this movie.

It would have been easy for Marvel Studios to just create a mock-up or use VFX to bring this location to life but the fact they used the real deal is a testament to the authenticity they were looking for while bringing this 90s set adventure to the big screen.
