12 Huge Movies That Captain Marvel Destroyed At The Box Office

8. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Lionsgate

Box Office: $865 million

Female-led franchises may be a rarity in Hollywood, but that didn't stop Katniss Everdeen from proving that you don't have to be a superhero (or a man) to dominate the box office.

While all of The Hunger Games films proved to be incredibly successful, it was the second installment, Catching Fire, that set itself apart, bringing in an outstanding $865 million - a digit that neither its predecessor nor successors could touch. In doing so, it unexpectedly took the franchise oh-so-close to that coveted one-billion mark

Captain Marvel's quick surge past what is perhaps Hollywood's most formidable female-led franchise isn't something that should be overlooked. Though she may have had the MCU umbrella to back her up, not even that could get the likes of Doctor Strange or Ant-Man ahead of the Jennifer Lawrence-led films. No, this victory belongs solely to Carol Danvers.
