At this point in time Captain Marvel is eyeing a $63.5M Friday, including her $20.7M Thursday night haul. That figure is just under Beauty and the Beast‘s first day of $63.77M (which turned around a $174.7M opening, the best ever in March), and under Batman v. Superman‘s Good Friday haul of $81.55M on March 25, 2016 which grossed a 3-day of $166M. Beauty and the Beast reps the top opening for March, followed by BvS, and then The Hunger Games with $152.5M, which it looks like Captain Marvel is beating.
Where does this put Captain Marvel stateside? Industry estimates predict between $156M and $160M, and possibly more at 4,310 locations. Again, it’s early, these numbers can fluctuate, etc., but it’s quite clear: There’s a lot of business going on this weekend in multiplexes around the world. With guys being the dominant moviegoer last night, the question is whether more women will make a date today to watch Carol Danvers on International Women’s Day.
Last night, 411 Imax screens repped 12% of Captain Marvel’s previews, repping the second biggest March preview for the large format exhibitor behind BvS. Captain Marvel is the biggest Imax day-and-date release worldwide of all-time at 1,360 hubs.

Militant progressive feminism is as annoying as hell is hot
People who don’t like things are trolls.
Unless they don’t like what I don’t like, then they’re insightful.
^^^ Pure Genius ^^^
thanks for the heads up.
I do not not like racism or feminism...or Hollywood, three strikes
During the interview, the Room star also pledged to help more women and people of color enter the film industry, having also “gender and racial parity in the press and wearing mostly female designers” during the film’s global press tour.
So, I spoke to Dr Stacy Smith at the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, who put together a study to confirm that. Moving forward, I decided to make sure my press days were more inclusive. After speaking with you, the film critic Valerie Complex and a few other women of colour, it sounded like across the board they weren’t getting the same opportunities as others. When I talked to the facilities that weren’t providing it, they all had different excuses.’
I think because it’s 2019, and what 2019 is about, really, is intersectional feminism. There’s just no question that we would have to show what it means to be all different kinds of women, that we don’t just have one type. It became a great opportunity, even with things like the love story. [We wanted] to make that big love— that lost love, that love that’s found again—be with [Carol’s] best friend. To show that, that’s incredibly powerful and gripping, and you could go to the ends of the Earth and fight till the end for your best friend. It’s perfect to me and so meaningful. To me, that’s a part of what the meditation of this movie is: It’s female strength, but what is female strength? What are the different ways that can look?
I think she didn't say "I don't want White men going to see my movie."
Obviously, she's a moonbat and likes to promote causes, but even she's not dumb enough to explicitly drive away half her audience.

I’ll stick with reruns of Police Woman.
I guess there was a lot of CGI lol. But the story and characters are good.
Not invested in the studio’s stock
Don’t own a movie theater
I fail to understand how it matter 2 figs what the box-office take is on a movie
If there is an agenda to push, “religious pictures”, “abortion horrors”, small studio product, etc. it could be understandable but Disney? What’s it matter to anyone?
Will not watch. Do not want to encourage them to make homosexual “superheroes”.
I understand that on opening weekends the studio takes about 60% of ticket prices. So this would mean they were tossing away $40 million to make their numbers look bigger just for opening night, and now they would presumably have to toss away another $40 million to keep up the pretense during the weekend. Did they do this for other MCU films?
Rotten Tomatoes has literally destroyed the trust of their readers by deleting/expunging over FIFTY THOUSAND NEGATIVE audience VIEWER REVIEWS! Presto ...they just magically "dissapeared".
Were those reviews by people who actually saw the movie or comments by people who haven't seen the movie and decided to "review" it anyway? In situations like this it's hard to tell. Interesting article here.
I would say its the opposite. Negative reviewers literally destroyed the trust of Rotten Tomatoes readers by writing negative "reviews" of a film that wasn't released yet and which they had never seen. I thought Batman vs. Superman would be crap, but after deciding not to see it, I didn't spam internet webpages with bogus "reviews" pretending to be a first hand account of the film's content. To do otherwise would be trolling, wouldn't you say?
Super hero movies are as inspiring to me as anal fissures or vaginal canker sores
It’s silly fantasy for couch locked soy boys and girls
I just saw it: not great, not bad. I give it a C+/B-.
Brie Larson was wooden. I suspect that was deliberate, since her character was not fully self aware, having little memory of her past. But it impaired the storytelling. It will be revealing if she is more animated in Avengers: Endgame.
All the focus by some on Captain Marvel being female is misleading. These are people who do not know the comics history; Carol Danvers (USAF colleague of Walter Lawson, AKA first Captain Marvel) goes back to 1968, and her feminist super-powered self, Ms. Marvel, goes back to 1977.
What bothered me more was making Mar-Vell female.
What bothered me most was turning the all-time villains, the Skrulls, into purely sympathetic illegal alien refugees who happen to look different from the Imperial oppressors.
That was the real SJW low blow. I collected comics before it was a recognized thing. The Skrulls go back to the very second super-hero comic book published by the nascent Marvel Comics (after the name change): The Fantastic Four #2!
The Kree were not angels, but the Skrulls were evil.
P.S.
Captain Marvel/Shazam of Fawcett/DC has no relation to Marvel Comics, except trademark name issues.
P.P.S.
The Fantastic Four, of the Jack Kirby/Stan Lee 1960s era, is the single most important source for the whole MCU - even though they do not appear in it. It really was “The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine”: The Black Panther, Cosmic Cube (Tesseract), Ronan the Accuser, The Skrulls, The Kree, Him (Adam Warlock), The Inhumans, The Watchers - all first appeared there.
Then stay off this thread, vulgarian.
