Obviously the cast isn't in place yet and we have limited information about the film at this point, so it's difficult to speculate how well the film might preform at the box office.
Having said that however, I can't help but wonder how successful a Captain America film will be outside the U.S I would say that one thing the film has going for it in terms of world wide accessibility is that it's a period piece set mostly in WWII. At that point in history America was reluctant to enter into wars overseas, and did not enter the war until after the bombing of pearl harbor. I think it is considerably easier to portray America as a country who was in the right at that time, and that much of the world would probably agree. Alot has changed over the years and America is certainly not the most popular country in many parts of the world today. So I would assume CA is not nearly as popular in many countries as other superheros. When you consider that most american blockbusters count on the foriegn box office take for a considerable portion of the films overall gross, how much concern do you think there is that the film may not preform well outside of the U.S.? |

@ cap Stacy
Around the same time as in US.I have to say though, the whole 'Cap might not do well outside of the US, because of how the world sees US' thing might not be as bad as some people may think. IMO you have to be reeeally 'strange' if you think that watching a movie called captain America is offensive to you. |

There have been questions about how Captain America will perform overseas, because of its title and bent. If the film’s opening in Italy over the weekend is any indication, the movie appears to be on solid footing.
Captain America opened to $2.8 million in Italy, 16% ahead of the first Iron Man, but slightly behind Thor. “It played like a big tentpole in Italy, suggesting there won’t be much push back overseas,” Moore said. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...america-214766

Box Office Mojo has cap at around 66 million here in the US.

A lot of international release dates are a week or two after the US to avoid some competition from Potter, since that has such a huge appeal overseas.

$65.8 million!
Cap pulls ever so slightly ahead of Thor to become the U.S. comic book movie champ for 2011! Woohoo! That makes me pretty pleased

The actuals won't be too far off. Cap's gross will give or take MAYBE .5 mil from that estimate. The actuals are usually close.

I´m from Brazil. We tend to frown a little upon American flaggs and stuff like that in movies, but I think that if people perceive the movie as an exciting adventure they´ll overlook the americana element. Superman is largely associated with americana too, and the Donner/Lester movies were very popular overseas, even SR actually did better OS than BB.

Well yeah Marvel/Paramount knew this when they staggered it but they also knew Potter would still be huge overseas during its 2nd week.

Yep, and that's definately not going to happen if your going by the worldwide gross (which you should).
