"Captain America: The Winter Soldier," the sequel to Marvel's 2011 film about the Red, White and Blue super hero, smashed its way to $96.2 million in weekend ticket sales, setting a new record for an April release and speeding past last week's winner, "Noah."
The film, which stars Chris Evans as a scrawny World War Two reject given super powers from an experimental serum, easily exceeded the April take for the racing movie "Fast Five," which collected $86.2 million in ticket sales in April 2011.
"Noah," starring Russell Crowe as the biblical figure, was second with $17 million in ticket sales from Friday to Sunday, and has collected $72.3 million in overall domestic sales since opening last week, according to studio estimates. It's total worldwide take is about $180 Million.
The dystopian action film "Divergent" was third with $13 million, for a total of $114 million since its March 21 release in U.S. and Canadian theaters.

I’m a big fan of all of the super heroes.I don’t think we can get enough for this country.
Also, to determine whether a film makes money, you need to double the production budget. Once you make that number in tickets sold, you start to see profit.
I like some of the movies and my grandson usually loves them. He couldn’t sit through this one.
Stan Lee stole the credit for creating these characters.
He also sold the rights to about twenty different studios knowing that half of the movies wouldn’t be made. He was all about Hollywood, that’s all he wanted.
RIP KIRBY.
It’s a movie about God made by an Atheist.......
The Winter Soldier is the bad guy. You know, like Kerry the fn traitor.
OOH RAH MARINE POP! THANKS TO YOUR DEVIL DOG TOO!
“Captain, to build a better world sometimes means turning the old one down...and that makes enemies.” —
is this anything like “Transforming America” ? Cause it sure smells like it.

Yes if you want to make a mega bucks movie now-days it has to be a from a cartoon series. Makes Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ” all that much more impressive. A billion dollars and counting worldwide, inspite of the perception that it was anti-semetic.
That is exactly what Agent Alexander Pierce is talking about. “Turning the old one down” is Zer0’s “Transforming America.” I was shocked to see Lefty Redford vocalizing it—something to be despised as evil. There is an awakening to what the Obama Regime represents and I think this movie represents the fight against this evil.
“But I think #3 redeemed the trilogy quite well.”
Good to hear, I’ll have to record it. It should make a good Saturday night flick.
