International Box Office: Captain Marvel Nears $1 Billion Mark
March 28, 2019
Captain Marvel completed the threepeat earning first place on the international chart for the third weekend in a row. It managed $52.1 million in 54 markets over the weekend for totals of $588.8 million internationally and $909.5 million worldwide. The film will have no trouble becoming the seventh installment in the MCU to reach $1 billion worldwide, but it likely won’t rise any higher on the franchise chart.
More Than Blue remained in second place with $29.60 million in five markets for an international total of $135.72 million. Almost all of this was earned in China, where it earned $27.07 million over the weekend for a total of $120.32 million at the end of the weekend.
Us opened in third place with $16.9 million in 47 markets. This is much weaker than its domestic debut, but the film did so well domestically that it could be pulled from theaters internationally and still break even before it hits the home market. Its biggest market was the U.K., where it earned second place with $3.65 million in 583 theaters. The film also opened in second place in France ($1.97 million in 339 theaters) and in Germany ($1.39 million in 447).
Song of Youth opened in second place in China and fourth place internationally with $11.55 million over the weekend for a total opening of $12.61 million.
Money opened in first place in South Korea with $8.83 million on 1,431 screens over the weekend for a total opening of $11.94 million.
