Captain America’ Conquers Box Office in Weekend Debut

 BLOOMBERG
  • Opening positions Disney for biggest year in studio profit
  • Film doesn't threaten records as some analysts expected
“Captain America: Civil War,” the latest box-office juggernaut from Walt Disney Co.’s Marvel studios, scored with film fans in U.S. and Canadian theaters, kicking off the summer film season.
The third “Captain America” feature, and the eighth Marvel movie from Disney since it acquired the filmmaker in 2009, collected $181.8 million in its debut in North American theaters, researcher ComScore Inc. said in an e-mailed statement Sunday. The movie came in below what turned out to be optimistic estimates for at least $185 million, and didn’t challenge the opening record for a superhero movie as some thought it might.
