The arrival of Captain America: Civil War brings an end to The Jungle Book ‘s three-week reign atop the box office, with this Disney adventure dropping to second place this weekend with a predicted $23.5 million.
Box office prognosticators have been predicting a debut in the range of $175 million to $200 million for Captain America: Civil War, but it may just open higher than that.
According to Box Office Mojo, Captain America: Civil War is expected to debut in over 4,000 theaters, although a specific theater count has not been given yet.
Based on the positive word of mouth, and the large theater count, we’re predicting that Captain America: Civil War will take in $210.5 million.
