Captain America: Civil War Grosses $181 Million This Weekend, Making A Lot More Money For Marvel To Use To Bribe Critics #SupportDCFilms

Considering audiences have spent over $871 million on superhero movies in the past 87 days alone, I think it's fairly apparent that superhero fatigue has set in and the genre is doomed. I mean, Captain America: Civil War made "only" $181.7 million this weekend! That's only the fifth-highest grossing weekend ever! Obviously, the MCU is doomed and audiences have given up on a style of storytelling that has existed prominently in pop culture for nearly 80 years (if one were to say the modern pop culture pop of superheroes started with the comic book debut of Superman). Well, pack it up folks.

Keanu Review

For Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, Keanu is basically their watershed moment as high-profile comedic figures. For comedians transitioning from TV to film, their first on-screen project, more often than not, can make or break their careers. For every Amy Schumer, Jason Bateman and Will Ferrell that went from the small screen to the big screen with major success, you've got your Jimmy Fallons and Chris Kattans that couldn't quite break through to the level of marquee names in movie theaters (though the latter two actors, especially Fallon, would find glory in the realm of TV). For Key & Peele, this is their first time leading a feature film, and with their hit sketch comedy TV show off the air, they have no safety net to return to. Like I said, this is the time to do or die, as Jared Leto would put it.

Keanu And Mother's Day Suffer Grizzly Fate At The Box Office At The Hands Of The Jungle Book

With one week to go until Summer 2016 officially kicks off at the box office, the final weekend of April 2016 proved to be a quiet one as audiences seemed to be hunkering down for the arrival of the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe feature (Captain America: Civil War) to kick the season off, just as the franchise has for all but two of the last eight summers. For now though, The Jungle Book continued to be an impressive box office performer by securing a third consecutive weekend atop the box office, scoring a $42.3 million gross this frame, taking its domestic cume to a massive $252 million.
