Not thatCaptain Marvelhas anything to prove to you,Yon-Rogg, but woof this movie is rocketing right toward a billion. The MCU’s latest entry hauled in another $19 million in its second Friday night, bringing its domestic total to $215 million. Early estimates see the film—which stars Oscar-winnerBrie Larsonas the super-powered half-human, half-Kree Carol Danvers—nabbing a total $68-70 million in its sophomore weekend.
Worldwide,Captain Marvelis estimated to end the weekend by soaring past $700 million, making it all but guaranteed the movie will join last year’sAquamanin the billion+ brigade.
So, as expected, all is well in the comic book world. Elsewhere, 2019 remains a dour landscape indeed. Paramount’s animatedWonder Park, expected to land in second behindCaptain Marvelby the end of the weekend, debuted with $5.3 million Friday night en route to an estimated $17 million. The film—which includes voice work fromJennifer Garner,John Oliver,Mila Kunis, andMatthew Broderick—cost a reported $100 million to produce before marketing.

Things are a bit better for CBS Film’sFive Feet Apart, a romantic drama starringCole SprouseandHaley Lu Richardsonproduced on a much more manageable $7 million. The film, expected to place third when the weekend is over, drew $5.3 million on Friday night.
Ruper Wyatt’sCaptive State, a film you’d be forgiven for not knowing existed based on Focus Features' marketing campaign, grabbed just $1.3 million on Friday night. The movie—which starsJohn Goodman,Vera Farmiga, andMachine Gun Kelly—follows a rebellion against extraterrestrial forces that have established strict martial law over planet Earth.
