Weekend Report: 'Captain America' Takes Over the Box Office


It was a big money-making weekend for Captain America: The First Avenger. The most famous superhero of Summer 2011's comic-book stories delivered the best opening of the bunch, while Harry Potter's last film fell big, "the bigger they are, the harder they fall." 

Captain America made an estimated $65.8 million on approximately 7,100 screens at 3,715 locations, edging out fellow Avenger Thor's $65.7 million opening as well as Green Lantern's $53.2 million and X-Men: First Class's $55.1 million to top the summer's superhero launches. 

Captain also had nine percent greater estimated attendance than Thor, which received more bolstering from 3D (and had IMAX): Captain's 3D share was 40 percent at 2,511 3D locations, compared to Thor's 60 percent at 2,737.
