I heard somewhere that theaters and producers make deals showing the movies. Sometimes, during the opening week depending on the movie, the producers get 100% of the take (usually I think it is like 90%. This percentage goes down week by week and theaters get more and more eventually. I don't know if this is true but if it is, the reported earnings of these movies in the first weekend/week are next to meaningless. If the producers get 100% or so, they can buy tickets for say 100M or 300M that they will get back not making any profit and not really offsetting production and advertising costs. This will make the take look big but it isn't. You have to look at how many seats are being filled. For Captain Marvel, there were theaters that had lots of seats unfilled but tickets bought opening weekend. So the money figures for ticket sales may be just as bogus as Rotten Tomatoes critic numbers.

Captain Marvel will prove to be a 'poison pill', yes Disney got their, and their Media hoopla out of it. but it will cost them for years to come, the way that garbage movie TLJ cost them. The hardcore Star Wars fans will never forgive that garbage being shoveled to them. and hardcore Marvel fans will never forgive this garbage retro-rewrite of everything the Russo brothers had created the last ten years, and the forcing of this character into the End Game.
Unfortunately for Marvel, DC is getting the hang of making good super hero flicks right at the time when Marvel is getting ready to decline. Downey, Evans and Hemsworth are leaving. The Russo brothers are being sidelined. End Game in more ways than one.

i love Marvel and DC and based on that, I watched the movie. The reviews were average and yes the movie was quite average as well. I saw it because of the Marvel universe. One movie links to an other movie. I didn't watch Hellboy because of the reviews and there was no universe. Other movies, I really need to wait for the reviews and wait for people to watch in first. If the movie doesn't do well at the box office, I do not watch it.
The worst movie for me was justice League 2 but still watched Aquaman and Shazam because I wanted them to do well. Dc has now started to turn around. It's good if they both do well

Blew everyone away my arse. It was average at best with a seriously average character and loads of politics NOBODY ASKED FOR. If it made bank at the Box Office it is because ENDGAME is just around the corner. End of Story. Christ I hope they don't undo almost 2 decades of brilliant work creating The MCU by focusing on Captain Marvel too much. .. It would be a massive disservice to all the other amazing characters.

I seriously wanted to understand why Looper thinks Captain Marvel blew everyone away. It didn't even impress Marvel fans and I'm not talking about the fanbois. After watching this video CM still remains an underwhelming story to me even if it didn't have Endgame succeeding it. Let's face it, in fact Endgame was the only reason for CM's commercial success and it is only that. A commercial success.

Omg! The movie was not a full blown success its bad. To be clear not bad as in it lost money, its marvel for crying out loud. It is the worst marvel movie to date and the only reason it made money is EVERYONE else in MCU and ENDGAME. I see more positive reviews of the damn cat than Brie hold my bear I am gonna upset the fandom Larson!

Is Looper unaware of the astonishing amount of bad reviews this movie has received, that Disney bought up millions of tickets to raise box office numbers, that Disney paid or pressured theaters to show only that movie for the entire weekend, etc. etc. etc? Battle Angel Alita is already surpassing this /pol flick. Wake up, Looper.
