Captain Marvel Box Office: Brie Larson-starrer rakes in the moolah

Brie Larson as Captain Marvel

Marvel Studios' first female superhero film Captain Marvel starring the brilliant Brie Larson has opened to rave reviews. The film, which released on March 8 worldwide, was welcomed with open arms all across the world. Captain Marvel managed to garner Rs 12.50 crore in India on day one of the release.

Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted:

The superhero movie has quickly become a favourite with Marvel movie fans and is being lauded for its feminist message. On its third day, Captain Marvel collected Rs 32.28 crore, and it doesn't show signs of stopping.

Taran Adarsh tweeted:

It's a pretty big feat for a Hollywood movie to open to such high box office collections in India, and so soon. Captain Marvel also put countless fan theories to rest confirming that she will indeed be coming back as one of the Avengers in the fourth and last instalment of the Avengers franchise, Avengers: Endgame.

Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Captain Marvel also features Gemma Chan, Ben Mendelsohn, Jude Law, Annette Bening and Djimon Hounsou.
