“Captain Marvel” soars at the Box Office HOLLYWOOD – The newest releases were no match for Disney’s “Captain Marvel”.
Starring Brie Larson, Marvel’s first comic-book tentpole to spotlight a female superhero has now surpassed $265 million in ticket sales across the US. After a sluggish start to 2019, it has been “Captain Marvel” to the rescue. Ticket sales are up over 3% from the same weekend in 2018, according to Comscore. As a whole, the domestic box office is still struggling to match last year’s record with receipts pacing 19% behind 2018. “Wonder Park,” an animated adventure set in an amusement park based on the imagination of a young girl, premiered in second place and had the best start among new releases. Landing at No. 3 is “Five Feet Apart,” a romantic drama about two teenagers who meet and fall in love while being treated for cystic fibrosis. Universal’s “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” secured fourth place. Lionsgate has three films in the top 10 this week. The studio’s “Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral” nabbed fifth place. Story Date: March 23, 2019
