Captain America: The Winter Soldier Opens This Weekend Across The Nation

Are you looking for a way to add a little Disney into your weekend? Why not hit the theaters to catch the opening weekend of Disney/Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier! As we discussed a couple of weeks ago this is movie will provide pivotal points that will set the entire Marvel Movie-verse into a spin and change the direction for everything to come.

In the highly anticipated, second installment of the Captain America series, we find the venerable Steve Rogers (aka Captain America) struggling with his new role in this modern world of war and espionage. With the help of some tried and true characters from previous Marvel movies; Black Widow (played by Scarlett Johansson) and Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson), Captain America (played by Chris Evans) must handle the threat of the new, frightening Soviet agent, the Winter Soldier (Played by Sebastian Stan). To help Captain America in this endeavor, Marvel introduces its next hero to the audience's in the role of the Falcon (who has found himself within the Avengers roster several times in the comic book universe), played by Anthony Mackie.

The overseas opening is already off to a great start, bringing in a dazzling $75.2 million internationally from 32 markets. That's up 88% from the international release of the original Captain America film. Those of us here in the United States only have a couple more days to wait before we can see this summer blockbuster for ourselves and according to the Hollywood Reporter it's "not inconceivable that the movie's worldwide gross could approach $250 million by Sunday."
