Good news for Marvel: Opening a superhero movie during Comic-Con doesn’t turn out to be a bad idea at all – The first midnight screenings of Captain America: The First Avenger made $4 million last night, which (as Deadline Hollywood points out) is more than Thor, X-Men: First Class and Green Lantern managed for their midnight debuts. So much for so for those suggesting that a superhero movie slump is around the corner.

Well, it looks like its weekend box office was great! $65.8 million!
I was surprised Harry Potter dropped so much – I don’t know if it will beat Cowboys and Aliens but I think it will be close. Considering how packed July is with big realeases, those are very strong numbers. I don’t think Thor or GL had the level of competition that Cap did.
Cap really is a very, very good movie, despite what some critics are saying. My wife really enjoyed it and it has been her fave Marvel movie. Go see this movie. They took great care with it and it has good drama, comedy and action. 8.5/10.
