Marvel’s superhero movies tend to do very well and post strong worldwide earnings on the opening weekend. It’s a similar story for Captain Marvel, the latest superhero film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It has raked in a worldwide box office total $455 million. It now has the second largest global opening of any superhero movie, second only to Marvel’s own Avengers: Infinity War.
Disney said today that Captain Marvel has earned an estimated $153 million in the United States and $455 million globally through its first weekend in theaters. The film has opened in most countries across the globe except Japan. The earnings are in line with what Disney had predicted, which was between $145-$155 million in the U.S.
Captain Marvel is the first Marvel superhero movie that’s headlined exclusively by a female superhero. In addition to having the second largest opening for any superhero movie, it has also posted the sixth best worldwide opening of all time. That’s in addition to clinching the biggest ever opening for the month of March.
The worldwide box office collections are impressive considering the fact that the movie has opened to mixed reviews from critics. Some have praised it while others feel that this has been an underwhelming debut for Captain Marvel.

Like any major online platform, YouTube also has a misinformation problem. A recent study found that videos on YouTube have contributed to the rise in the number of people who believe that the Earth is flat. The company has now decided to launch a new information panel which will be used to display fact checks when users search for controversial and sensitive topics.
“As part of our ongoing efforts to build a better news experience on YouTube, we are expanding our information panels to bring fact checks from eligible publishers to YouTube,” said a spokesperson for the company.
These boxes of text will display fact checks from YouTube’s verified fact-checking partners on search results for topics that are “prone to misinformation,” according to a spokesperson for YouTube.
The panels will be displayed on search result pages instead of individual videos. This won’t prevent videos containing misinformation from coming up in search results, YouTube will simply be generating a disclaimer on a query which involves a sensitive topic.
YouTube has launched this feature only in India right now. It’s one of the company’s largest markets with almost 250 million users. These disclaimers will be shown in both English and the local Hindi language. YouTube has confirmed that this feature will gradually be expanded to more countries across the globe but didn’t provide a roadmap.
