Give it up for Chris Evans and company, as the new Marvel flick Captain America: The Winter Soldier flexed some super-hero muscles to break April box office records with a $93 million debut in the US.
From the Hollywood Reporter:
Winning over critics and moviegoers alike, Marvel and Disney's Captain America: The Winter Soldier grossed $37 million from 3,938 theaters on Friday, the biggest day ever for the month of April, not accounting for inflation. The superhero sequel is expected to earn $93 million-plus for the weekend, also an April best.
Overseas, where it opened ahead of its North American launch, the $170 million tentpole has already earned $132.2 million and should finish Sunday with a whopping global total of $270 million or more -- only $100 million behind the $370.6 million earned by Captain America: The First Avenger in its entire run. So far, Captain America 2 is pacing 40 percent ahead of the first film, which debuted in May 2011.
Coming in at number two, the biblical epic Noah fell nearly 60% in it's second weekend.
