Box Office: 'Captain Marvel' To Top $1 Billion Worldwide Today

With $1.658 million domestic on Monday, Captain Marvel has now earned $355.6 million in North America. Coupling that with its current $638.6 million overseas cume, and with the presumption that it earned around $3 million overseas (it has consistently doubled its day-to-day grosses overseas almost from the start), we’re looking at a new global cume of around $997.2 million. That means, barring a fluke, the film will cross the $1 billion mark sometime today. Or, at worst, it’ll do so tomorrow at 12:02 am. Either way, it took about a month of global box office for Marvel to snag its seventh $1 billion-plus grosser. [As reported by Forbes]
