While many are calling Captain America: Civil War the example of what Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice should have been, the film continues to dominate at the box office in grand fashion.
"Disney's latest Marvel superhero extravaganza 'Captain America: Civil War' absolutely crushes the global box office this weekend and in the process surpasses the $940 million mark and thus assures its eventual place in the $1 billion club," according to comScore's Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
"Notably, Sony's 'The Angry Birds Movie' has a spectacularly angry $43 million international opening ahead of its U.S. debut later this week."
The opening weekend for The Angry Birds Movie could not keep up with the sheer success of Captain America: Civil War, despite it's popularity and viral tie to the famous Angry Birds App.
