While audiences appear to be generally disappointed and the mostly good reviews are still mediocre, Marvel’s “big feminist movie” is crushing it at the box office, raking in an estimated $153 million in just three days. So how does Brie Larson’s superhero debut compare to other Marvel smash hits?

First, the numbers for “Captain Marvel” according to Box Office Mojo: On Friday, the film took in $61.4 million from 4,310 theaters, averaging $14,242 per theater; on Saturday, it earned another $53 million ($12,306 per theater); and on Sunday it grabbed another $38.6 million (8,952 per theater). That adds up to exactly $153 million in estimated box office receipts.
