‘THE WINTER SOLDIER’ becomes Highest Grossing April Release. Ever.

I’ve seen The Winter Soldier three times. I don’t just like it. It’s a bit more intense than that. No lie: I’ve commissioned a Falcon/Bucky double-ended dildo that I intend on fitting into myself while holding my custom made Captain America Hitachi on my nipples during my first Blu-Ray viewing. Apparently they don’t let you do that in theaters because they hate fun. So fuck yeah!, I’m excited that it’s April’s highest grossing movie ever.

After three weeks on top, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” fell to No. 2 in the North American box office this weekend, but not before adding another feather to its “Cap.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Marvel Studiossequel has brought in $224.9 million domestically, enough to make it the top-grossing April release of all time in North America. The previous record holder was “Fast Five,” which brought in $209 million overall at the box office after it opened in April 2011. Globally the film has brought in $645.2 million.

“The Winter Soldier” lost its throne this weekend to “The Other Woman,” the comedy starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton. It opened with $24.7 million domestically, compared to the $16 million “Captain America” brought in. The faith-based “Heaven Is For Real” came in at No. 3 with $13.8 million for a domestic total of $51.9 million, while the animated “Rio 2” made $13.7 million for a domestic total of $96.2 million.
