Wonder if cineplexes are going to do back-to-back-to-back MCU flick marathons again?
At this point, all of the films, either in chrono order or release order, would likely last you a week.

'Captain Marvel' Tops 'Spider-Man 2' As 'Us' And 'Dumbo' Both Top $200 Million Global (Box Office)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottm...o-both-top-200-million-global-box-office/amp/
Walt Disney’s Dumbo earned another $18.224 million in its second weekend, dropping a harsh 60% and giving the Tim Burton fantasy a $76.2 million ten-day cume. It’s legging like Alice Through the Looking Glass, relatively speaking, so we could see a $115 million finish for the flying elephant yarn. That’s disappointing on its face, but it would be less of an issue if the movie didn’t cost $170 million. It earned another $39.5 million overseas to bring its global cume to $213.8 million. But that may not be enough to save it, as (spitball math alert) we’re probably looking at a $320 million-to-$330 million global gross for the live-action fairy tale. The Mouse House really needs Disneynature Presents Penguins Aladdin to pull its weight over Memorial Day, since they just can’t rely on toons and MCU flicks.
...
Captain Marvel earned another $12.682 million (-39%) in its fifth weekend, an excellent hold considering Shazam’s mighty opening weekend. The $150 million-budgeted Brie Larson flick, which already passed The Dark Knight ($1.004 billion in 2008) worldwide and Black Panther ($645 million in 2018) overseas, has now displaced Deadpool ($363 million in 2016, sans 3-D) domestically. That makes it the fourth-biggest solo non-sequel superhero film (sans inflation) behind Spider-Man ($402 million in 2002), Wonder Woman ($412.5 million in 2017) and Black Panther ($700 million last year). The film has earned $374.1 million domestic (past Spider-Man 2‘s $373 million gross from 2004) and $1.034 billion worldwide (past Jurassic Park and The Phantom Menace), It’ll pass Spider-Man domestically but maybe not the likes of Iron Man 3 ($409 million in 2013), Captain America: Civil War ($408 million in 2016) and Wonder Woman ($412.5 million in 2017), although it’ll end up just over/under $1.1 billion worldwide.
Just hit $400 million this weekend. All things considered, It's held up well over the past few weeks. Probably a good thing as Endgame is going to crush everything over the next few weeks.
'Captain Marvel' And 'Shazam' Both Just Hit Big Box Office Milestones

We are just days away from Avengers: Endgame, and it seems that excitement over the MCU season finale is bleeding over into the other big superhero movies. Okay, not to Hellboy (-59% for a $3.88 million second weekend and $19.676 million ten-day cume), but I digress. Both Captain Marvel (+9%) and Shazam! (-29%) had ridiculously good holds this weekend, and both hit box office milestones. Captain Marvel is now past $400 million domestic while Shazam! hit $300 million global.
Captain Marvel is at $1.09 billion globally. Shazam is a really good movie.
Marvel knows how to play ball.
Tempted to peep it again before Friday's Endgame watch just for the chronological MCU grind-up. It was fun. Haven't seen Shazam yet, but did hear it's a hoot, so that might be a watch purdy soon.
All other things aside, this film had the best soundtrack of the Marvel pictures.
Between the 90s tunes and the standout orchestral music near the end of the film, it wins.
