Captain America: Civil War - Opening Day


Last night, Captain America: Civil War officially began hitting movie theaters stateside, and to the surprise of no one, managed to pull in an impressive amount of business in Thursday showings. The film opened to an estimated $25 Million last night, which is a huge increase over the $10.2 Million Captain America: The Winter Soldier pulled in on its Thursday opening back in 2014. Even more impressive? The film only falls slightly short of Avengers: Age of Ultron‘s Thursday opening last year, which raked in $27.6 Million in Thursday previews. As of right now, the film is expected to open to $200 Million this weekend.

The domestic debut is expected to take in around $200 million at 4,226 locations this weekend, marking a spectacular start to the summer box office.

If projections hold, “Captain America: Civil War” would be the fourth-highest opener of all time, behind “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” at $248 million, “Jurassic World” at $208.8 million and “Marvel’s The Avengers” at $207.4 million. “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is currently in fourth with $191.3 million.

Captain America: Civil War is officially out in theaters today!
