Captain America: Civil War is now the highest-grossing film of the year

Captain America: Civil War has officially become the biggest film at the box office in 2016.

According to Box Office Mojo, The Marvel superhero epic has already earned $981.9 million worldwide, which takes it past Zootopia ($971.9m) to become this year’s highest-grossing film globally.

The Jungle Book takes third place. While surprisingly, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, is in fourth with $870.1m.

Captain America: Civil War though, has been a huge success amongst audiences and critics, taking in almost $1 billion altogether.

It’s unlikely another film will reach such heights this year, but Marvel will be hoping that Doctor Strange gives it a good go. After all, stranger things have happened… Well, maybe not.
