Box Office Preview: 'Captain Marvel' Eyes $125M-Plus U.S. Bow, Nearly $300M Globally
Marvel's first female-fronted superhero pic, starring Brie Larson, is tracking to open this weekend to a mighty $125 million to $145 million at the North American box office, where revenue year to date is down 26 percent over 2018 following a dismal February, which hit a 17-year low. Some
even think the movie could hit $150 million through Sunday.
Either way, "Captain Marvel" is poised to score the second-biggest opening for a Marvel Studios title introducing a new character behind "Black Panther", which debuted domestically to $202 million in February 2018. The Marvel and Disney tentpole also looks to come in ahead of DC's "Wonder Woman" ($103 million).
Overseas, "Captain Marvel" is tracking to bow to $150 million or more. Timed to its U.S. launch, it touches down in every major market this week, save for Japan.
