Welcome to the 21st century Captain.
‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ shattered records and claimed the top spot of the box office this weekend. Marvel’s sequel earned a massive $96.2 million and becomes the biggest opening weekend ever in April. It beat out the previous record holder ‘Fast Five’ which pulled in $86 million back in 2011. ‘The Winter Soldier’ has already earned $207 million at the international box office.
‘Noah’ sinks to second place by earning $17 million and brings its 10-day total to $72. 3 million.
‘Divergent’ is still holding on strong in third pulling in $13 million in its third week of release and brings its domestic total to $114 million.
The Christian film competition of ‘Noah’ continues to put up great numbers. ‘God’s Not Dead’ earned another $7.7 million as it expanded to new theaters this weekend.
Rounding out the top five is Wes Anderson’s ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ earning $6.3 million. The film has had much success over the last five weeks by expanding to new theaters each week. It brings its domestic total to $33.4 million.
The birds of ‘Rio 2’ hope to take down Steve Rogers next week at the box office unless the cursed mirror of ‘Oculus’ can scare up some money.
