"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 don’t see a big problem here. Generally, when Hollywood takes on a Bible story, there’s going to be a lot of “made-up stuff” to fill in 90 or 120 minutes of film. And it’s not going to be good.
I’d rather see Capt. America, a known fantasy, than Noah which would be borderline blasphemy.
“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”...
No political significance.
Thanks SeekAndFind.
I just saw it. Robert Redford, who portrayed Agent Alexander Pierce, was the bad guy who wanted ultimate control—a new world order—in exchange for the freedom of all humanity. The forces against freedom are epitomized by Agent Pierce: “Captain, to build a better world sometimes means turning the old one down...and that makes enemies.” Later we hear Captain America say, The price of freedom is high... and it’s a price I’m willing to pay.” This is a movie about slavery vs freedom. It is outstanding.

By playing himself. :)
I hope to see it next weekend with my son, who will be coming home from Marines boot camp.
pretty much... he and his character have no redeeming values whatsoever
I haven’s seen the third and the second I wasn’t crazy about, but the first one was one of the most fun movie experiences I’ve had.
I think our daughter gave it to hubby for Christmas, and we watched it, and the next day my brother came over and we watched it again!
There aren’t too many movies that I’d enjoy 2 days in a row like that, but Ironman was just great!
I wasn’t as crazy about Ironman 2, I think simply because I find Mickey Rourke throughly disgusting.
I guess that’s what makes him such a good Bad Guy.
But I think #3 redeemed the trilogy quite well.
Yeah, it was so clear that Redford played an Alynskyite that I was astonished. It really was a direct hit on the whole mantra of the Left. Then again the bad guys are Nazis, which contrary to lots of propaganda are Leftists.
Another frigging superhero movie huh?
I HATE FRIGGING SUPERHERO MOVIES!
ARGH!!!!!
X-Men movies aren’t from Marvel Studio, Fox owns the X-Men.
Here’s a picture for anybody curious on who owns what. And feel bad for Lionsgate who paid money for Man-Thing:

ya might hate-em, but some ARE better than others...
I saw the tyranny of the Nazis as the same tyranny of today’s Left. And, the same zero infobots today as were in Germany.
It's that of anyone that believes that government is the source of everything good, be it on the Left or on the Right.
Since there were so many threads about “Noah” last week, here is some follow-up info: its box office take fell between 61 and 64 % compared to its opening weekend last weekend.
That drop marks “Noah” as an official box office flop. It will play for a few more weeks, but it needs to make $350 million to show a profit. This weekend’s returns say that number is out of reach.
Some Industry types will say it’s not a flop, only a “disappointment,” meaning it’s not going to lose as much money as last year’s “Lone Ranger.” That’s arguable, but the bottom line is everyone lost money on “Noah,” and there won’t be a Noah 2 in the works.
I watched it yesterday with my 7 yr old grandson. Even he was bored.
I was shocked to see the “government” adopting 20 million people to ensure power. (ala Obama’s weather underground radicals)
doesn’t Disney own them all? even universal pays them royalties.
