Winning over critics and moviegoers alike, Marvel and Disney's Captain America: The Winter Soldier grossed $37 million from 3,938 theaters on Friday, the biggest day ever for the month of April, not accounting for inflation.
Overseas, where it opened ahead of its North American launch, the $170 million tentpole has already earned $132.2 million and should finish Sunday with a whopping global total of $270 million or more -- only $100 million behind the $370.6 million earned by Captain America: The First Avenger in its entire run.
Captain America 2, directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, nabbed an A CinemaScore across all demos, as well as stellar reviews from critics. Some critics have described the film as an intriguing espionage tale, versus never-ending action.

Among limited openings, Jonathan Glazer's "Under the Skin" (A24) starring Scarlett Johansson, boosted by positive reviews, took in a strong $49,000 in only 4 theaters, looking to be (although not remotely at the same level) the biggest specialized opening so far this year after "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
Miley crying over a dog for multiple days in a row is just too much. This is probably a breaking point more than anything. If she has a breakdown I wouldn't be surprised. Larry Rudolph, his power
Jhene her set at SJ will be such a snooze unless she rips off her clothes or gets Drake/Big Sean on stage.
Jhené's on the festival stage, so the latter isn't happening.
I'm anticipating her set much more than Sevyn's. I probably will be using the rest room during Sevyn's, if I'm being honest. Probably because I only know It Won't Stop, while I know all of Jhené's EP.
just because I don't pretend I don't enjoy trashy, entertaining reality TV doesn't mean I enjoy actual trashy TV
