Captain America: The Winter Soldier looks set to exceed everyone's expectations this weekend, and while early predicitions pegged it as opening to around $90 million, those later estimates of over $100 million now look almost guaranteed to become a reality. With an 'A' CinemaScore and very positive reviews from fans and critics alike, the Marvel Studios sequel will hold the prestigious honour of having the biggest April opening of all-time by Monday morning. With a third instalment in the franchise already set for 2016, this is a franchise that Kevin Feige is very confident in, and an opening like this definitely means that the patriotic superhero will be around for a long time...

So, including Thursday, Cap's closing in on $50 million!?! That's incredible!

DEVLIN712 - 4/5/2014, 7:43 AM

Hmmm... this personifying an actor thing...

DEVLIN712 - 4/5/2014, 7:44 AM

It's...

Geotheleo - 4/5/2014, 7:45 AM

This movie is worthy of a praise! Can't wait to see it again!

It deserves more. Fantastic film.

DEVLIN712 - 4/5/2014, 7:46 AM

@Soto
I convinced my parents to go, they loved the Avengers so they went along willingly. Everyone loved it

DEVLIN712 - 4/5/2014, 7:48 AM

This dead hamster gang is growing, we need to start up a resistance...

DEVLIN712 - 4/5/2014, 7:55 AM

It's about sending a message

DefcoN - 4/5/2014, 7:56 AM

Hope it makes as much as possible because I'd really like Marvel to release a third movie each year.

SpiderFraud - 4/5/2014, 7:57 AM

I hope it makes that $100 million. Dat Cap shield was giving me a chubby in the theaters, movie is awesome.

kinghulk - 4/5/2014, 7:58 AM

omega- i think that WB need to reduce the budget's they give new super hero films, like marvel they should give their heroes a budget anywhere between 150-200 million no more. after all MOS had a bigger budget that the avengers, it goes to show that a bigger budget does not mean it will be a better film.

ALegendaryPanda - 4/5/2014, 8:01 AM

@Omarvls

Well, 170 million isn't exactly a small amount. Lol

MrCBM56 - 4/5/2014, 8:02 AM

BvS has a budget of 300 million according to ElMayimbe.

Starfox - 4/5/2014, 8:02 AM

This Film is a Masterpiece!

Magneto perfection Michael Fassbender Saying Perfection

Starfox - 4/5/2014, 8:03 AM

MrCMB56 - Wow 300 million?!? I hope they build a lot of Sets.

Lozzy - 4/5/2014, 8:04 AM

Deserves 100 million OW. Hopefully with good word of mouth and a little luck this could reach 700 million +.

ALegendaryPanda - 4/5/2014, 8:04 AM

@MrCBM

Holy shit dude! That movie better blow our god damn minds with a budget like that! Lol

kinghulk - 4/5/2014, 8:05 AM

BvS haveing a budget of 300 million, god that is may too much in my opinion. if BvS doesent make avengers numbers then WB are screwed. they be better of with a smaller budget.

TheRationalNerd - 4/5/2014, 8:05 AM

I love Cap and all but BvS is going to blow that Sucka outta the MCU! lol

Prime - 4/5/2014, 8:05 AM

Someone post hot girls.

TheRationalNerd - 4/5/2014, 8:06 AM

Jk it'll be a great showdown. Saw the film last night I'll give it a 4.5/5.

SageMode - 4/5/2014, 8:06 AM

That's what I'm talking about

ALegendaryPanda - 4/5/2014, 8:07 AM

@KingHulk

It's a movie with Batman and Superman AND Wonder Woman, a small budget isn't really an option.

Battabing - 4/5/2014, 8:08 AM

It was a damn good movie. It wasn't the best cbm ever (that's still TDK), but it was Marvel Studio's best cbm.

My one complaint is the shaky cam during a few of the fight scenes made them really hard to follow.
It made me kinda nauseous. Got flashbacks to the first Bourne movie.

TheRationalNerd - 4/5/2014, 8:08 AM

The 3D was just a gimmick though...I'd rather see it again in 2D but I'll just wait for the Blu-Ray. TASM2 trailer rocked in 3D and it looks like the 3D is really going to be worth it there.
