Six weeks after its release Marvel Studio's Captain America: Civil War becomes the first film of 2016 to cross the $400 million domestic mark. While the international box office (China in particular) has evolved to account for a sizable percentage of most film's gross earnings, North America still reigns supreme as the number one film market in the world. While a few other films this year have crossed the $300 million domestic mark, 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936.6 M) and Jurassic World ($652.7 M) were the last to films to reach this achievement. The film currently sits at $1.14 billions worldwide.
Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Captain America (Chris Evans) believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) must pick a side.
