#CaptainAmericaCivilWar accounted for huge 76% of wknd #boxoffice. Add in #JungleBook & #Zootopia & #Disney controlled 88% of mkt!

CW was 1.48% lower than estimates.

 

Anyone remember what BvS estimates were when on it's 1st weekend?  I know actuals ended up being $166.1 million.

Not really.  CW is not really a Mother's Day movie.  So a family oriented Disney alternative was JB.   If it wasn't for JB maybe some families would've gone to Zootopia.  If not these two they may have gone see another movie.  But not likely CW.   

 

Either way I think Disney captured more money.

Hmm. I don't but I think they were just over/under $170M though.

 

Edit: $170.1M for a -2.4% difference.

Remember WB adjusted its own estimate down to $167m, I believe original estimate was $170m-ish.

Eh... I'm basing it on boxofficemojo's list. I think that's fair.

Of course, it's very rare for a studio to change its estimate on Monday morning.

Sure seems like it. Doesn't Alice open this month as well?

Yup! And, likely will open a bit larger than most here expect too. I bet it impacts the OW of X-Men some.

Yes Memorial Day weekend.  In Mid June they have Finding Dory and are pretty much done until Dr. Strange, Monma,  and Rogue One hit.
