Captain Marvel' Is Soaring Past $300M Domestic And $850M Worldwide (Box Office)

In holdover news for Friday, Captain Marvel earned another $9.226 million (-51%) on its third Friday to bring its cume up to $295.7m. It has passed the unadjusted domestic gross of Man of Steel ($291m in 2013) and will pass $300m domestic today. Barring a fluke in either direction, the MCU flick should earn another $35m (-48%) this weekend to bring its 17-day cume up to $321m. That's a slightly bigger drop than the 45% fall I was expecting, but Us is proving to be a super-duper powerhouse.

Nonetheless, the Brie Larson flick will end the weekend above the unadjusted grosses of Iron Man 2 ($312 million in 2010), Thor: Ragnarok ($315m in 2017) and Iron Man ($318m in 2008). The film has earned over $140m in China toward its current $539m overseas cume. We can expect a worldwide total of well over $860m (past Thor: Ragnarok and Venom) and possibly over Spider-Man 3 ($890m).

But it went largely unnoticed until now because it blew up over the Bering Sea, off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. The space rock exploded with 10 times the energy released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Lindley Johnson, planetary defence officer at Nasa, told BBC News a fireball this big is only expected about two or three times every 100 years
