Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel, which stars Academy Award-winner Brie Larson (Avengers: Endgame) in the title role, is rocketing to a $153 million domestic debut, which is the biggest North American opening of the year thus far and the seventh-highest opening in the Marvel Cinematic Universe overall.
Worldwide, the Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck-directed film has grossed a gargantuan $455 million ($153M domestic; $302M foreign) in three days, which is the second-largest opening for a superhero film ever, behind only Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War ($640.5M), and the sixth-highest opening of all-time, behind Avengers: Infinity War, Universal's The Fate of the Furious ($541.9M), Disney/Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($529M), Universal's Jurassic World ($525.5M), and Warner Bros.' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 ($483.2M).
Captain Marvel now also holds the record for the biggest opening weekend for a comic book movie with a female lead, both domestically and globally, topping Warner Bros.' Wonder Woman ($103M domestic; $228.3M worldwide). It's also now the second-largest domestic debut for a superhero origin story, behind Marvel's Black Panther ($202M), and the fifth-largest foreign opening weekend.
With that kind of start, it's now widely projected to top $1 billion before the end of its run, which would make it the seventh Marvel Studios title to roar past the milestone marker overall and the third to do so in the past thirteen months.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe, which consists of twenty-one blockbuster titles, has now grossed over $7 billion domestically and is nearing $18 billion worldwide.
