Box Office Actuals: ‘Captain America 2’ Comes In a Shade Under Estimates

It’s still an April opening weekend record, but Captain America: The Winter Soldier came in with $95 million for the three-day weekend, $1.6 million under estimates, which is understandable considering that’s a lot of pennies to count.

Captain America 2 edged out 2011’s Fast Five for that April record, but come 2015 it will be time for Fast & Furious 7 to attempt to give the Fast franchise its April record back on the weekend of April 10.

In second was Noah and Paramount was spot-on with the $17 million estimate, though I’m sure they were hoping they had sold the film short as a 61% drop from its opening weekend is not what the doctor ordered. Worldwide the $125 million-budgeted film is up to $178.5 million, though I’m not sure if all territories have reported numbers.

As a matter of fact, estimates were really close this weekend as Divergent came in only $100,000 below the estimated $13 million and God’s Not Dead holds strong with $7.7 million, only an 11.8% drop from last weekend. It’s also now being reported the film was made for a mere $2 million.
