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).
