Never thought a Oscar BP winner will have similar gross in its domestic market and China.

how about to either tell the whole story or to not add to the sorry little .... who troll there at RT?

RT rolls all the want to see ... counts into the audience score since years, hence why here so many do not take that serious.

The new RT rule brings only a more balanced impression for the future releases without a backload of manipulated counts, and only as long as they do not organise another attack.

20.7 / 33% = 62.7mn 

Using the new MCU normal preview/OD ratio post Infinity War.

Great number all things considered. Bodes well for a 140-155M OW. Fantastic for an origin story.

[Amorphous]

Solid numbers for sure!

[fmpro]

Good number

Welp. Time to realign expectations. 

 

It's a solid number, but considering how promising pre-sales looked, it's a bit of a letdown.

'Captain Marvel' Review: Brie Larson Is Marvel's First Female Lead... 

Disney has appropriately timed Marvel’s first female superhero movie to open on Women’s Day today in 4,310 theaters, and what a wonderful weekend this will be with Captain Marvel set to earn north of $140M. Spring breaks are starting up: ComScore shows 6% K-12 and 13% colleges off today, numbers which will grow to respectively 18% and 33% by Monday.

Among regular movies in release, DreamWorks Animation/Universal’s How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World led all pics with $1.35Myesterday, -9% from Wednesday for a two week haul of $104.9M including previews. The threequel is just $3.8M behind in its running domestic total when compared to its previous chapter; again that movie played in July when kids were off from school. Pic’s second week total was $37.2M.

Second yesterday was Lionsgate’s Tyler Perry movie Madea Family Funeral which made $1.2M, -6% for a first week of $33.8M.

Fox/Lightstorm’s Alita: Battle Angel made $445K yesterday, -28% from Wednesday, for an estimated third week of $9.9M and running total of $75.1M.

Was hoping for the higher end of range, but it’ll work. Beauty and the beast and THG are probably out of reach though.

Pretty impressive. Think that kind of number likely locks up $150M+ OW DOM.

[Eric Loves Rey]

If it follows Black Panther on Friday and Saturday, then follows BATB on Sunday:

 

20.7M

62.4M (inc. previews)

54.2M

41.7M

158.3M
