Captain America: Civil War Passes $200 Million without even hitting US, India and other country
Marvel's new superhero movie Captain America: Civil
War is a huge hit internationally. It debuted this past week in a
number of international markets, and now it's been confirmed that the film has
brought in $200.2 million from 37 offshore regions-all ahead of the US release.
According
to Deadline, which supplied the numbers, this is "just behind"
the international release box office numbers of Avengers: Age of Ultron in
2015. It may have fallen behind that film, but it's still a record-breaker.
In Brazil, Mexico, and the Philippines, Civil War set
all-time opening-weekend records. The top international markets for Civil
War were Korea ($28.9 million), Mexico ($20.6 million), the UK ($20.5
million), Brazil ($12.3 million) and Australia ($10.9 million).
Comparing to other Marvel superhero movies, Civil
War came in 5 percent below Age of Ultron, but 26 percent
ahead of Iron Man 3 and The Avengers, while it
started 157 percent better than Captain America: The Winter Soldier,
when looking at the same markets and using the latest exchange rates.
Head
to Deadline to see a full box office breakdown for Civil War's
international release. The $200 million opening for Civil War is
not a total surprise, as that was the estimated figure cited in reports
earlier this week. Civil War comes to the US & India this
Friday, May 6.
