And there you are, constantly still clinging to every little disappointment you can. You truly will twist anything and everything to feel justiied in your hatred for this movie, won't you?
Kinda sad, actually.

I think what is sad is someone feeling the need to defend the movie and not being able to stand it when facts are being posted.
In any case, the movie had a lower first Monday than Deadpool. It remains to be seen how much leg the movie has.

I'm not defending it, since this movie does not need me to twist facts and alter truths just to get some sort of satisfaction out of its failings.
The movie is at 737 million dollars, like 22 million short of Winter Soldier despite only being out 5 days in the US and 12 days worldwide. IT's gonna crack a billion, Audience and critic reception have both been outstanding, and it is likely to be the #1 movie this year (though I'd love to see Rogue One match or best it).
This movie is a success from virtually every angle and in every situation, and yet you feel the need to report every failure, every disappointment that really should be negligible. This isn't some heroic feat of bringing the truth to the masses, it's clinging onto failure because you, for some reason, can't handle the fact that a great movie is making great box office dollars.
737 million and still making 30 million a day. By the time yesterday's numbers come out I bet it'll be ahead of The Winter Soldier, which also did quite well. I still see this doing 1.3 billion or so worldwide.
Oh, and if you want to compare its monday and Tuesday numbers to previous comparable films, then yes, its monday was lower than Deadpool and Batman v Superman, but one of those movies both had a holiday to help them out (Deadpool), and the other got lucky. The real numbers are in Tuesday, where Captain America increased by 3%, but Batman v Superman decreased by 19% . Deadpool decreased by 41%, but again, holiday monday.
Captain America bested its closest direct competition (Age of Ultron) by small but admirable amounts on Monday and Tuesday, a movie that was released the same weekend one year ago. Of course, anything could happen from here, but Captain America is doing great so far, and I don't expect his steam-rolling of the Box Office to slow considerably.
Also, despite Deadpool having a lower opening weekend by 34 million dollars, its domestic haul is well ahead of batman v Superman.
Zootopia - the furry movie with no hype going in - had an opening weekend less than half as good as Batman v Superman, yet beat it both domestically and worldwide (is ahead in both markets and still making more per weekend). Batman v Superman was BAD, and it fell HARD and FAST. People didn't like it, reviewers didn't like it. It still made a lot of money, but it should have made Avengers money or near to it.
