This weekend alone, the film garnered $87 million globally. Before this milestone, the film had the biggest-ever opening weekend for a female-fronted film.

While it’s obvious this is the studio’s first female-led superhero film, women are also making waves behind the scenes. Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are co-directing, and Boden is Marvel’s first female directors.

The box office success comes after Captain Marvel was bashed by trolls on Rotten Tomatoes before it even came out. However, the film’s rating is steadily rising from the online hate and getting a better rating. Critics have boasted rave reviews in regards to the film despite the online hate.

Captain Marvel has also made waves in the music world. Since the movie premiered, there has been an increase in downloads of ’90s songs that are featured on the soundtrack. The soundtrack includes songs from NirvanaNo DoubtHole and more.

Also, the movie has an adorable tribute to Stan Lee that will bring viewers to tears.
