Less than two weeks after it started rolling out around the globe, Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War has passed the $700 million mark at the worldwide box office.
By close of play yesterday, Civil War had amassed $192.5 million domestically (in just four days), along with a further $518.8 million from international markets.
The film is already the fifth biggest movie of 2016, and given its blistering start it’s probably only a matter of time before it overtakes Deadpool ($762 million), The Jungle Book ($779 million), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($868 million) and Zootopia ($958 million).

Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
