It's right at about what Iron Man made and most people seem to think it's a better movie than IM2, Thor, Captain America, and Incredible Hulk. 
Again, I'm taking it as we drop this version into 2008.
Now if this movie was filmed in 07 and released in 08 it would be different as the special effects wouldn't be possible.

I don't care about any of that. How many people honestly knew who Captain Marvel was before last year?
Iron Man at least had some name recognition and RDJ is a star. I don't get why it's hard to admit this movie is succeeding in part to the universe it exists in.

We don't get why it's so hard for you to admit you have no idea what the numbers for this movie would have been in 2008.

The same way you speak about this movie as if it's already made a billion and have been doing so for the last few days.

Nope.
Not the same. At all.

Crazy special effects are why a dull arse movie like Avatar did incredibly well so I'm just not going to discount what a movie heavy on effects that would be pretty damn crazy in '08 would do.
Iron Man had some name recognition sure but it was seen as a joke C-list character at the time. RDJ was also still trying to repair his rep as at that point he was a dude more known for being whacked out on drugs and wandering into people's homes. He couldn't even hold a job on Ally McBeal in those days and was getting more minor roles for the most part.
I would say Sam Jackson had more standing at that time than he did.

It literally is. We both claim things that aren't provable by your definition at the time the claims are made. But of course when you do it, it's different.

Nope. I'll add "literally" to the list.

My claim is provable. I'll either be correct or incorrect. Yours is made-up nonsense that isn't useful.

Yep. That's how it works.
Welcome to reality.

None of the Marvel Studios films would have their box office levels of success without the benefit of the shared universe, with the exception of Iron Man (which had its success quickly eclipsed by the sequels and other Iron Man vehicles).
Not sure why this is even up for debate.

Right, because stand-alone comic book movies never make a frick-ton of money...

You haven't even defined what this is. Marvel has no shortage of characters that could make this kind of money on their own. They've done it before. So has DC.
That's the rub. You're just throwing shite out and hoping nobody notices that it doesn't stick.

Now those films definitely get a small bump from the universe, but those probably wouldn't even have been made without that.

Holy shite. I didn't realize you were going full troll today. Never mind.

I have examples. You have speculation. It isn't difficult.

Fewer, don’t try using facts and logic with Cuckeye, they are a foreign language to him. He’s an idiot and you don’t argue with idiots because all they do is drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
See the rest of this thread for that.

Do you think Bukie spends more time going to repeat viewings of CM or arguing with people on this message board about the merits of CM? Sorry, Buk, but Brie still isn't taking your calls and she will not meet you for a venti double mocha latte with extra whip cream at Starbucks.

Captain Marvel grossed $34.27M this weekend. 17-Day total stands at $320.75M.

Whatever the answer is, I don't spend nearly as much time doing either as you do trying to convince yourself that a $1 billion movie was a dud.

CM's performance is simply not that impressive when you break it all down. In 10 years it will be far down the list of top money earners. CM's box office is more a symptom of the times we live in than an indication of the relative success of the movie.
