Disney distribution chief Dave Hollis hailed the Marvel films as a model of commercial consistency in a business that is notoriously unpredictable, reports variety.com.
&ldquo;They have found a way to keep the films unbelievably fresh and the reception to this leading into its opening suggests that they&rsquo;ve delivered arguably one of the best films to come out of the studio,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We expect a lot of repeat business.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Captain America: Civil War&rdquo; promises the spectacle of watching Captain America (Chris Evans) square off against Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). It also introduces Tom Holland&rsquo;s take on Spider-Man and marks the first appearance of Chadwick Boseman as the Black Panther.
The film played well in premium formats, with Imax responsible for $9.6 million of the foreign box office haul.
Among the most significant contributors were Korea with $28.9 million, Mexico with $20.6 million, Britain with $20.5 million, Brazil with $12.3 million and Australia with $10.9 million. The Brazil and Mexico openings set a new industry high, as did the film&rsquo;s $7.5 million kick-off in the Philippines.
In addition to North America, next weekend will also see &ldquo;Captain America: Civil War&rdquo; debuting in China, Russia, Italy and Argentina.
