Take that, "Deadpool"! And "Batman v Superman"! And, you know, "Zootopia"!
"Captain America: Civil War" released in the U.S. on May 6, but it has been in international theaters since April 27 and, wherever it goes, it kicks all the Underoos. As of this week, "Civil War" passed "Zootopia" to be the highest grossing film of 2016 around the world, with $981,945,889 in domestic plus foreign receipts. And it's not slowing down. So far, the domestic intake is $310,545,889, which means it's probably going to quickly pass "Deadpool" as the top domestic title, since Ryan Reynolds's superhero is now at $362.5 million. The international gross for "Civil War" is now at $671.4 million, and $164.2 of that is just from China.
So can anything top it? "Civil War" has already left "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" behind, since it took in $870 million total. But the year is just getting started. Can "Finding Dory," "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," and/or "Rogue One" top "Civil War"?
Collider offered a handy breakdown of where "Civil War" currently fits into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in terms of worldwide gross, but since the film has only been out in theaters for a couple of weeks and it's still doing very well, this ranking will probably change:
