Read Time:1 Minute, 10 Second

Brie Larson’s “Captain Marvel” is expected to soar past $500 million at the worldwide box office on Tuesday.

The blockbuster has taken in $164.3 million in its first four days, along with $325.6 million in its first six days in international markets. China is the biggest foreign market with $95 million, followed by South Korea with $25.3 million, the U.K. with $18.1 million, Brazil with $14.7 million, and Mexico with $13.7 million.

Disney also said the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s 21 titles have topped a cumulative $18 billion at the worldwide box office to date. “Captain Marvel’s” $455 million global opening weekend was the sixth-highest launch of all time. “Captain Marvel” posted the 18th-biggest domestic debut ever, since “Incredibles 2” launched with $182 million in June. It performed well above studio projections, which had pegged the film at $125 million.

“Captain Marvel” has revived the 2019 domestic box office, which had plunged by 27% before the weekend. It’s now down 21%, at $1.79 billion, according to Comscore.

Larson will return as Captain Marvel in Disney-Marvel’s “Avengers: Endgame,” which will open on the final weekend of April amid massive expectations. Last year’s “Avengers: Infinity War” is the fourth-highest worldwide grosser of all time at $2.05 billion, trailing only “Avatar,” “Titanic,” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
