'Captain America' Sequel Made More Money Than 'Thor 2' Opening Weekend

We knew the "Captain America" sequel would have a massive opening weekend, we just weren't sure how big it would be.

Early numbers released Sunday have "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" making $96.2 million for the weekend.

This makes "The Winter Soldier" not only the largest April box-office opening (beating out "Fast Five"), but also the largest debut for the year so far.

Maybe more impressive is how much better the sequel performed compared to "Thor: The Dark World" during its November release.

"Thor 2" made $85.7 million opening weekend in comparison.

So far, "Captain America 2" has made more than $300 million worldwide. It cost approximately $170 million.
