Captain Marvel Kills The Box Office – This Week In Geek

 

It’s been a rock-solid week for Captain Marvel. The superhero origin film starring Brie Larson has crossed the $500 million in ticket sales worldwide in its first week. Projections are showing that the film could bring in another $70 million to $80 million in its second week.

The film’s $153 million-dollar debut in North America is not too shabby and is the biggest opening weekend this year so far. Internationally, the film launched to the sum of a cool $455 million and is the sixth-biggest launch globally ever.

Captain Marvel is the 21st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and these numbers helped push the franchise over 18 billion in ticket sales worldwide. With Avengers: Endgame hitting theaters in a little over a month, you can bet that the franchise will exceed 20 billion.


Speaking of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios decided that they would give us another trailer to the highly anticipated film on Thursday.

The trailer starts off with images from the first Ironman, Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: Civil War, Thor, and Avengers: Infinity War. These scenes were accompanied with voiceovers from Tony Stark, Peggy Carter, Steve Rogers, and Thor and were shown in black and white with red being the only visible color. Then we get some new imagery from the upcoming film with the characters stating that they are going to try with whatever it takes. Goosebumps!!!

Finally, we see the Avengers walking down that hanger we have seen in all the trailers up to this point sporting some matching white uniforms that look very similar to the outfit Doctor Pym wore in Antman and the Wasp. We also see in this shot that Tony and Nebula make it to Earth. So, spoilers if anyone thought Tony was going to die on the Benatar.

Avengers: Endgame is set to release on April 26th. Stay tuned to templeofgeek.com for any more information that drops about the film.
