‘Captain Marvel’ Smashes $1 Billion Milestone at Global Box Office

Disney’s “Captain Marvel” is the newest member of the billion-dollar club.

The superhero tentpole starring Brie Larson officially surpassed $1 billion in ticket sales worldwide, reaffirming the long-known notion that female superheroes can hold their own at the box office. The blockbuster has generated $358 million in North America, along with $645 million overseas.

“Captain Marvel” is the seventh pic in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to reach this milestone, joining the ranks of “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Black Panther,” “The Avengers,” “Captain America: Civil War,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and “Iron Man 3.” It also marks the 18th Disney movie to gross over $1 billion. The 21 films in the MCU have collectively hauled $18.5 billion to date.

“Captain Marvel” has been lauded as Marvel’s first blockbuster that centers on a female superhero. Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the star-studded cast also includes Jude Law, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, and Annette Bening.

“Wonder Woman,” DC’s first female-led superhero film, paved the way, showing Hollywood that all kinds of audiences can get behind a little female empowerment. That tentpole — starring Gal Gadot and directed by Patty Jenkins — generated a massive $841 million globally.

Larson’s Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) will make her Avengers debut in “Avengers: Endgame,” which hits the big screen on April 26. Post-credits scenes in both “Captain Marvel” and “Avengers: Endgame” teased the Kree warrior as the universe’s last, best hope after Thanos turned half of life in the galaxy to dust.

Fuck the haters

big deal. it sucks, just like all faggot superhero movies. these worthless films are exclusively for sissies and dorks.

This. Superhero movies are trash. I don't know why producers refuse to cast female leads though. A male garbage heap and a female garbage heap are both garbage.

Anybody who's interested in superhero movies is a child, a faggot, or both

I agree… apparently, the reason it's so 'revolutionary' to have a female in a superhero movie is because it's the first time the fans have ever gotten that 'close' to a female, other than their mothers, who coddled them into becoming superhero sissies

So you can finally see other movies at the cinemas now? All the profits must have went to the showing times as it was playing every 15 minutes at my local cinema while other movies might get 3 showings a day

Aquaman was much better.

OH NONONONOOOOOO
So much for /tv/ claiming it was a flop.

Yeah, every one of those pathetic nerd virgins probably spends their pathetic nerd virgin time on pathetic nerd virgin image boards commenting on pathetic nerd virgin threads about pathetic nerd virgin cartoon films.
