Captain America: Civil War continues to break records ahead of its North American debut. This time, it comes courtesy of advance ticket sales.
The upcoming Marvel blockbuster (according to Variety) has surpassed Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Avengers: Age of Ultron and The Avengers in advanced ticket sales, with the film culminating in 90'% of Fandango's weekend ticket totals.
Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis commented on the accomplishment, saying "With an 'Avengers'-sized ensemble cast, stellar advance reviews, the introduction of a new Spider-Man and new characters like Black Panther, the widespread anticipation for Thursday night's debut of 'Captain America: Civil War' is massive."
This is of course just accounting for the first viewing. According to a Fandango survey, which surveyed more than 1000 fans, 68% said they plan on seeing Civil War multiple times. Having the first appearance of a new Spider-Man doesn't hurt either.
Captain America: Civil War opens on in North America on May 6th.
