Marvel’s latest superhero franchise Captain Marvel has pushed its global haul past the $900 million mark, pulling in $35 million domestically and a further $52.1 million from international markets in its third weekend.
With $321.5 million from North America and $588 million overseas, the Brie Larson-headlined blockbuster has earned $910.3 million to date, and is expected to cross the $1 billion mark by close of play next weekend, becoming the seventh Marvel Cinematic Universe movie to do so.
2019 is certainly shaping up to be a big one for Brie Larson, who’ll be back on the big screen next month as Carol Danvers as she joins Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in the fight against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame., while the Oscar-winner is also set to release her directorial debut Unicorn Store, which reunites her with her Captain Marvel co-star Samuel L. Jackson. Watch the trailer here.
