THere's nothing else in the theaters.
And any half-arse comic-book movie is going to kill overseas.
Black Panther killed.
It's why they keep making them, they always win...even if they suck.
Right now it's a Tyler Perry Movie, a Cartoon movie and Captain Marvel in theaters.
That's your choice in Cinema right now. And international audiences eat this Hollywood fluff up.
Hell they flocked to the fricking Hulk by Ang Lee. They'll flock to any comic-book movie especially the Asian and Anime market.
it's really fun watching everyone move the goalposts after this board assured me one week ago it would be the biggest failure of a Marvel movie ever.

I want to understand what flocking to the theaters means?
Hulk made $234 mil worldwide in 2003. By comparison...
Spider-man('02): $821 mil
X-2('03): $407 mil
Spider-man 2('04): $783 mil
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen('03): $179 mil
I guess people were flocking to see the League of Ext. Gentlemen too.

beat me to the punch on this point.

If Black Panther/Infinity War is any indication, you do not have to see Captain Marvel before Endgame.

Yeah my wife and I wanted to go see a movie this past weekend while the kids were out of town, but these were our choices. We may go see CM in the theater in a few weeks, but I'm not doing an opening weekend unless it's at a drive-in theater, especially for a movie that will have the theater covered up with children. Worst experience imaginable.

Captain Marvel made more in it's opening weekend than Ang Lee's Hulk did in it's entire worldwide run.

Check out Celebrity Theater if you're in BR. Small theater with reserved seating. We went on Saturday afternoon and it wasn't bad at all.

I thought it was fun. No SJW message really at all. I can see why people thought Larson's performance was wooden but it was clearly a character choice by the director. Her character can definitely branch out in future movies like Thor did. All in all, it was a pretty decent Marvel movie. Middle of the pack but solid. It's worth watching if you want to know the origin of her powers before Endgame.
My concern before the movie came out was Larson's performance. I shall see for myself eventually.
I still won't go see it at the theater... which isn't a slap at the movie. I don't see anything in the theater anymore because I'm hard of hearing. I prefer to watch movies at home with closed captioning and where I can fiddle with the volume to get it just right.

That would be cool. Closest thing we have to that around here is an AMC dine-in theater. Haven't been so don't know what that's like.

Very few movies open in 100+ markets all on the same weekend, so this total isn’t that surprising. This is mainly due to how releases work in China and to a lesser extent Japan.
