For comparison, WW saw about a 75% decline over the exact same period. It's a very large drop, comparatively, to similar movies, regardless of the days of the week.

CM came out during Spring Break, with 10 times the advertising and a significant tie-in to End Game. CM should be crushing it, but it's going flat. This movie is a dud.

It's heading to $1 billion, and you're so pissed about it.

Wrong. 61.7 was on 3/8

that's almost a 90% decline in less than a week. This movie has no legs.
For comparison purposes, the percentage drop in box office from first Friday to first Wednesday.
Captain Marvel: 86.09%
Thor: Ragnarok: 86.77%
CA: Civil War: 88.11%
Age of Ultron: 88.85%

Wonder Woman through it's first Wednesday: $138,676,720
Captain Marvel through it's first Wednesday: $187,647,498
I'd say roughly $50 million (or over 35%) ahead qualifies as "crushing it".

Time of the year, studio rep, and the Endgame factor.

Time of the year
You mean it's an advantage to release a PG13 comic book movie during the school year instead of the summer?
quote:
studio rep
I compared it to other marvel movies.
quote:
the Endgame factor
All I've read in the spoiler threads is people saying you don't need to see it before endgame. And the post credit scene leaked online before the movie premiered.

It's fun watching people who want it to fail so badly be let down so hard over and over again.

What else is out this time of year? The three highest grossing movies of all time were released in December.
I’m talking about your Wonder Woman comparison, not whatever the hell cable is talking about.
And the people saying that (myself included) have already seen the movie. It’s the last movie before Endgame with a new character that is the first female lead for a studio that has the best reputation of any franchise going right now released in a time period with no competition. It was going to hope big no matter what.

Wonder Woman was released during the summer and Captain Marvel is smoking it.

You said time of year which is bullshite studio rep which I compared to other movies from the same studio and endgame factor which is a completely immeasurable benchmark.

It’s by far the biggest blockbuster release so far of the year. The next two biggest releases of the year came out 2 and 3 weeks before it and faded quickly. Nothing big comes out this weekend or even next. March has had big another big female led movie hit $150 million just this decade too soooooo.
And you are arguing some stupid cable point with me that has nothing to do with me. It’s a bigger success because it was a part of the MCU. No film franchise in the world has a better reputation right now than it. That’s an incredible brand to be attached to, especially compared to the cloud around the DCEU that Wonder Woman dealt with - the two releases before it were BvS which was divisive at best and Suicide Squad which everyone agrees was a complete and utter disaster. The biggest name attached to Wonder Woman was Chris Pine as well.
And no one can put a dollar amount to the influence, but plenty of people have said they would have waited to watch Captain Marvel on redbox or HBO or what have you if it wasn’t released so closely to Endgame. If you wanted to see this character’s background before Endgame, you had to go and see it. No second option.
Also the commercials saying that the MCU started with her probably brought in a lot of attention even though everyone who has seen the movie knows those references were basically shoehorned in and saying her movie was a prequel to everything else is a bold faced lie, but that’s neither here nor there.
So yes it is a hit, clearly, no one is disputing that (well cable may be but he’s trolling). My statement was that given the situations around it and Wonder Woman, no one can honestly say it is crushing it, at least not domestically. If that doesn’t explain it all out then I don’t know what language to say it in for you.

Of the top 50 domestic grossing movies of all time just 3 were released in March. Beauty and the Beast, The Hunger Games, and Zootopia. Captain Marvel will likely
Other movies that released in March include Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Alice in Wonderland (2010), Logan, Oz the Great and Powerful, The Lorax, 300, How to Train Your Dragon, Ice Age: The Meltdown, Kong: Skull Island, Monsters Vs Aliens, Ready Player One, Rango, 21 Jump Street, Watchmen, and Cinderella (2015). If it was that easy to fart out a big budget hit movie in March there would be a hell of a lot more movies in the top 50 that were released in this month.

The two people here who have said that haven't had as big of an impact as you wanted. Sorry bout it.
