‘Captain America: Civil War’ Approaches $200M Domestic Mark After Leading Monday with $13.3M

Disney’s Captain America: Civil War took in $13.29 million on Monday to dominate the daily box office for a fourth consecutive day.  The blockbuster 3D superhero sequel starring Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. was down 69 percent from Sunday.  That represented a stronger first Monday percentage hold than that of last year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, which fell 74 percent on its first Monday to gross $13.23 million.  Yesterday’s percentage hold signals that the Sunday performance of Civil War was indeed deflated a bit by the Mother’s Day holiday and is also an early sign that word of mouth for the film is better than it was for Age of Ultron.

Captain America: Civil War has grossed $192.43 million through four days of domestic release, which represents the fifth largest unadjusted four-day start of all-time.  The film is currently running 6 percent behind the $204.50 million four-day gross of Age of Ultron, 4 percent ahead of the $185.41 million four-day take of 2013’s Iron Man 3 and a very impressive 90 percent ahead of the $101.24 million four-day total of 2014’s Captain America: The Winter SoldierCivil War is set to surpass the $200 million domestic mark today.

Captain America: Civil War grossed an estimated $18.8 million overseas on Monday.  That brings the film’s current overseas total to $512.8 million and global haul to $705.2 million.  Key grosses to date for individual markets include $104.6 million in China, $54.3 million in Korea, $40.6 million in the United Kingdom, $34.8 million in Mexico, $26.1 million in Brazil, $19.6 million in Japan, $18.1 million in Australia, and $16.7 million in France.

Fellow Disney blockbuster The Jungle Book placed in a distant second with $1.52 million.  The 3D live-action computer animated hybrid declined 84 percent from Sunday and a solid 37 percent from last Monday.  The Jungle Book has grossed a terrific $289.12 million through 25 days of release.  That places the film 44 percent ahead of the $200.23 million 25-day gross of 2013’s Oz: The Great and Powerful and just 2 percent behind the $295.51 million 25-day take of 2010’s Alice in Wonderland.

Open Road’s Mother’s Day claimed third place with $0.677 million.  The ensemble comedy featuring Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts fell a very sharp 88 percent from Sunday’s inflated Mother’s Day performance, but was still up a healthy 4 percent over last Monday.  Thanks in part to its excellent hold this past weekend; Mother’s Day has grossed $23.48 million in eleven days.  The film is currently running 9 percent behind the $25.83 million eleven-day take of 2011’s New Year’s Eve.
