Captain America: Civil War opens with $25 million at Thursday previews!
Captain America: Civil War posted a big $25 million in Thursday previews, which is just behind last year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron ($27.6 million) and well ahead of other Marvel Cinematic Universe debuts, such as Marvel’s The Avengers ($18.7 million), Iron Man 3 ($15.6 million), and Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($10.2 million). IMAX posted an estimated $3.1 million in Thursday previews, a Marvel record besting Avengers: Age of Ultron ’s $3 million.
Internationally, Captain America: Civil War added $29.6 million on Thursday to push its international to $291.2 million already. Here are the international highlights from key territories:
Korea $41.7M UK $33.0M Mexico $27.5M Brazil $18.3M Japan $13.9M Australia $13.8M France $13.3M Germany $11.2M Taiwan $10.5M Philippines $10.0M Hong Kong $10.0M Thailand $9.0M Malaysia $7.6M Spain $5.7M Other $65.6M Total $291.2M
Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
The film features the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America, this time joined by Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Falcon, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as The Vision, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye and Don Cheadle as Jim Rhodes/War Machine.
Sebastian Stan is also back as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier alongside Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa / Black Panther, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter / Agent 13, Daniel Brühl as Baron Helmut Zemo, Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow / Crossbones, William Hurt as General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man, and Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man.
Captain America: Civil War was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.
