[_Captain America: Civil War_](http://time.com/4318756/captain-america-civil-war-marvel-movies-to-see/) [pulled in](http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=marvel2016.htm) an estimated $181.8 million in North America this weekend with the fifth-biggest North American box office opening in history, according to Box Office Mojo. That’s in addition to the $496.6 million the movie made globally since it opened overseas last weekend.

Despite the massive haul, the movie, in which [Chris Evans’ Captain America vies with Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man](http://time.com/4315068/captain-america-civil-war-fighting/), didn’t quite meet box office analysts’ expectations. Many predicted the film would score a $200 million opening weekend after it earned [critical raves](http://time.com/4314812/captain-america-civil-war-movie-review/), though Disney itself projected a haul of $175 million.

It’s still a huge victory for Disney, who owns Marvel Studios. The studio has produced four of the five opening weekends of all time: _Star Wars: The Force Awakens_, _The Avengers_, _Avengers: Age of Ultron_ and now _Captain America: Civil War_. (_Jurassic World_ from Universal Studios holds second place behind _Star Wars_.)

Now with the help of _Civil War_ and _The Jungle Book,_ Disney has already made $1.1 billion in North America in just 128 days this year, a new record. It’s likely to be a good year for the studio, which still has the _Finding Nemo_ sequel _Finding Dory_, the Marvel movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch _Doctor Strange_ and the _Star Wars_ film _Rogue One_ premiering in 2016.
