So how to explain this weeks number one launch ofCaptain America?
Are fans only tired of non-Marvel superheroes?
In comparison,Captain Americas nearly equivalent opening looks far more impressive.
Not only did the Capt.
Until Friday, in fact, it seemed likely thatDeathly Hallows 2would be a repeat at number one.
But well get to that in a minute.
Critically, both films were well-received, withCaptain Americarating 73% on Rotten Tomatoes toThors 77%.
Even more significant is the record thatDeathly Hallows 2will claim in its second weekend.
With a sophmore estimate of $48.1 million,Harry Pottersaw a decline of approximately 72% this weekend.
The bigger they are and all that… Just asCaptain AmericafollowedThorandGreen Lantern, this weekFriends With BenefitsfollowedBridesmaidsandBad Teacher.
Unfortunately,Friendscould not outdo its predecessors in the same way that this weeks number one film did.
Overall, this weekend was ahead of summer 2010 whenInceptiondebuted with $62.7 million.
