'Captain Marvel' Soars To $153 Million Launch At Box Office

LOS ANGELES, March 10 (Variety.com) - Brie Larsons Captain Marvel is soaring to a heroic opening weekend of $153 million in North America at 4,310 sites, reviving what had been a slumbering 2019 box office.

Captain Marvel took in $302 million internationally, giving it an estimated global opening weekend of $455 million the sixth highest global debut of all time.

The 21st installment of Disneys Marvel Cinematic Universe propelled total domestic moviegoing to $210 million nearly $70 million above the same frame last year. It was the first weekend of 2019 to outperform the same frame of 2018.

Captain Marvel will wind up with the 18th biggest domestic opening weekend of all time. Disneys Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has the 17th-highest launch frame with $155.1 million in 2016. It will be the biggest opening title since Incredibles 2 launched with $182 million in June and should post the best start for a standalone superhero film since Marvels Black Panther launched with $202 million in 2018.
