After kicking off its release internationally on April 27th, Marvel’sCaptain America: Civil Warhas now surpassed Disney’sZootopiato become the highest grossing film of 2016 worldwide, with a jaw-dropping total of $981.9 million and climbing. The sequel has amassed an international box office of $671.4 million, with $164.2 million of that coming from China alone. And with a domestic total of $310.5 million in just over two weeks in release, this thing is far from being out of steam—it already stands as the fifth highest grossing film of the year domestically.
All in all, it’s pretty safe to say thatCivil Waris going to surpassDeadpool’s top spot on the domestic chart with $362.5 million to become the highest grossing film of the year both domestically and internationally. The question now is, how high will it go? Since it seems to be performing pretty in line withAvengers: Age of Ultron, that film’s $459 million domestic total doesn’t seem out of reach to nab the #9 slot on the all-time chart, thoughThe Avengers’ $623.3 million at #5 could be a bit of a stretch.
On the worldwide 2016 chart, the film has already far outpacedBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’s $870 million total and it’ll be interesting to see if anything topsCivil Warthis year. The biggest competition will arrive in the form of Pixar’sFinding Dory, Warner Bros.’Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and of course Disney’sRogue One: A Star Wars Story. WillCivil Warremain on top for the rest of the year, or will it be dethroned? I have an inklingFantastic BeastsorStar Warswill surpass it, but the film is showing incredibly strong legs so we’ll see.
In the scope of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies,Civil Waris already the fourth-highest grossing installment worldwide. See how it stacks up against the rest of the MCU below. And stay tuned—this ain’t over yet.
