Captain America: Civil War Is 2016’s Highest Grossing Film

Well, that didn’t take too long. Despite the fact that it only released less than a month ago, Captain America: Civil War has taken the box office by storm, earning the title of 2016’s highest grossing film with an incredible worldwide total of $981.9 million – and that number will definitely be going up in the weeks to come.


X-Men: Apocalypse has proven to be a middling affair, and though it will still pull in a healthy chunk of money, the next big box office threat probably won’t arrive until June 10th in the form of Warcraft, meaning Cap’s third solo outing still has a long time to keep racking up the dollars


Domestically speaking, the film is still trailing behind Deadpool, which has $362.5 million compared to Civil War‘s $310.5 million. It will likely surpass the Merc with a Mouth though in the weeks to come, as like we said above, it doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon.


The most likely candidates to out-gross Civil War are probably Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
