Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens to record-breaking April numbers at the box-office.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a springtime box-office warrior. The latest Marvel movie opened to an unprecedented $96.2 million in its first weekend of domestic release, eclipsing the previous record for an April opening (2011's Fast Five) by $10 million. While Cap was certainly aided by the Avengersconnection, the early positive buzz on the film certainly didn't hurt, either.
And for folks wondering whether a character named "Captain America" will sell overseas, the flick has already taken in over $200 million in those other markets. So, whether or not Marvel does end up releasing Captain America 3 in direct competition with Warner Bros. untitled Batman vs. Superman movie in May of 2016 remains to be seen, but if these numbers are anything to go by, Cap might just be able to hold his own against a ticket selling juggernaut like the Dark Knight after all.
And it sounds like Kevin Feige's plans to make Marvel movies through at least 2028 remains safe.
