Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel, which stars Academy Award-winner Brie Larson (Avengers: Endgame) in the title role, is soaring back to the top of the box office with approximately $68 million to $70 million in its second weekend, becoming the first 2019 to top $200 million domestically.

Once the international numbers come in tomorrow, the Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck-directed blockbuster will have earned well over $700 million worldwide, possibly $750 million, and should be on the fast track to topping $1 billion globally, becoming the seventh Marvel Studios film to reach the milestone. It will also officially become the highest-grossing film of 2019, overtaking CMC's The Wandering Earth ($692.6M).

As for the newcomers, Paramount's animated adventure Wonder Park, which features the voice talents of Mila Kunis (The Spy Who Dumped Me) and Jennifer Garner (Peppermint), should finish in second place with $17 million to $18 million while CBS Films' romantic drama Five Feet Apart, which stars Haley Lu Richardson (Support The Girls) and Cole Sprouse (Riverdale), will round out the top three with $13 million to $14 million.
