Captain America: Civil War Could Beat Batman V Superman's Box Office By Sunday
Whether you like it or not, the minute Warner Bros and Marvel Studios decided to release their gigantic superhero versus movies within a month of each other, they courted comparison. Proximity has a wonderful way of doing that, and that's not to mention the similarities in narrative, billing or cost.
So it's a bit of a head scratcher when people complain that we're all comparing Civil War and Batman v Superman. It presumably wouldn't have been an issue if Batman v Superman hadn't been something of a bust, but DC's flag-bearer falls down when compared to Cap's latest outing, so the parallels inevitably sting.
Now, there's more painful news for Batman v Superman, as industry experts are predicting that Civil War could best the film's entire box office haul by Sunday, just over a week after its domestic release.
According to Gitesh Pandya of BoxOfficeGuru.com, a strong Chinese performance and a predictably good American opening have put the film on course to take about $950m worldwide by the end of the weekend.
