UPDATE: CAPTAIN AMERICA Fails To Nail THE OTHER WOMAN; Drops To #2 With $15.9M
After a very impressive three week run at #1 in North America, Captain America: The Winter Soldier will indeed fall short of a fourth week at the top spot this weekend thanks to the machinations of The Other Woman. Hit the jump for an update with all the latest figures...
Deadline reveals that The Other Woman will indeed end up at #1 again this weekend, knocking Captain America: The Winter Soldier from the top spot after a very impressive three week reign. Below are the early numbers for Saturday along with the current predicted three day cumes for each movie. Some analysts believed that the Marvel Studios sequel might drop to #3 due to the surprising success of Heaven Is For Rea, but as you can see, Joe and Anthony Russo's follow up to Captain America: The First Avenger has some real staying power. How well The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will do when it opens in North America next weekend remains to be seen...
