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.

Fights, explosions, aliens.
If you are looking for SJW stuff, don’t bother.
Just turn off your brain and enjoy.
For anyone that has cats, the final scene in the credits is worth the price of admission.
Does this include the overseas opening?

Trolls Are Tanking Captain Marvel’s Rotten Tomatoes Reviews. But They Can’t Stop Its Box Office Dominance
No, this is just the US and Canada. They are predicting $350 million with international counted.
Was not looking for it, just hoping it wasn't ruined by any.
People who don’t like things are trolls.
Unless they don’t like what I don’t like, then they’re insightful.
Sorry, Superhero movie I meant.
Just saw it for the second time. Very good movie.
Bullcrap, the movie and story are good and it it is not dominated by CGI.
Isn’t this the movie that the chick playing the superhero said she didn’t want white men at her movie? If so, so far I’ve obliged her. I will continue to do so. To hell with her.
As a white male, not gonna see it after Brie’s words.
It’s excellent. Best super hero movie ever! Fun for the whole family. Even my wife loved it!
they want to try to spin it this way, but the experts ratings in comparison to other marvel movies comfirms the low fan rankings.
Further, no actor but her is idiotic enough to tell a huge demographic they shouldn’t come to see her movie.
She should be instantly fired for that and never work again in film except for sweeping up a theater. She just cost a major movie group tens of millions to possibly over a hundred million dollars in revenue with her blatant sexist mouth.
Did she? She said that she didn't want to read 40 year old White men negatively reviewing A Wrinkle in Time because it wasn't made for them.
But did she really say she didn't want White men watching her movie? That doesn't appear to be true.
Anyway, all the controversy will help the movie. People remember seeing the name, but not what all the arguing was about.
Give me a break.
