In other words, Captain Marvel is the biggest premiere so far in 2019. In terms of where it ranks on Marvel’s scale of successful films, Captain Marvel will be the seventh best domestic premiere, falling behind Captain America: Civil War, the Avengers films, Iron Man 3 and, of course, Black Panther.
