Marvel Studios and Disney’s Captain America: Cvil War launched to a mighty $181.8million in North America, kicking off the summer box office in high style and scoring the fifth-best opening of all time, as well as the top launch of 2016 to date.
Overseas, where it began opening last weekend, Civil War took in another $220 million for a foreign total of $496.6 million and worldwide haul of $678 million after just 12 days in release. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Civil War is all but assured of becoming the first release of 2016 to jump the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office.
