Captain Marvelheld strong to its first-place standing in its second weekend, photon-blasting its way to another $69 million and bringing its domestic total to $266 million. The film saw a 54% drop since its debut, a better two-week hold thanAvengers: Infinity War,Avengers: Age of Ultron, andCaptain America: Civil War.
Worldwide, Disney’s latest offering into the MCU is all but guaranteed to cross the billion-dollar mark sooner rather than later. This weekend sawCaptain Marvel—an origin story introducingBrie Larson’s super-charged Carol Danvers—haul in another $494 million overseas, bringing its worldwide total to $760 million. The last film to notch a billion dollars at the box office, Warner Bros.' newfound DC Comics cash-cow Aquaman, did so in five weeks. The race is on, is what I’m saying.
Meanwhile, things are less cheery for Paramount’sWonder Park. Despite coming in above predictions, the animated adventure film still debuted to a so-so $16 million, with reports estimating the film’s budget somewhere around $100 million.Wonder Park’s lukewarm premiere is just the latest setback for the long-time-in-the-making movie; catch it in theaters and you might notice it has no credited director, thanks toDylan Browngetting fired by the studio for inappropriate conduct.
Coming in third place isFive Feet Apart, CBS Film’s romantic drama starringHaley Lu RichardsonandCole Sprouse. The film, directed byJustin Baldonifrom a script byMikki Daughtry, got off to a $13 million start on 2,803 screens.
A little further down the listings,Nacho Garcia Velilla’sNo Manches Frida 2, a sequel to the director’s 2016 comedy, debuted to $3.9 million, topping fellow newcomerCaptive State’s $3 million premiere.
