A weak slate of February movies exacerbated an already floundering box office and led to a 38 percent decline in ticket sales in the month compared with last year, according to Comscore.
After two months of disappointing U.S. ticket sales, the film industry is looking to"Captain Marvel" to reinvigorate the box office.
February's movie slate was always going to be hard-pressed to beat the monumental box-office sales of the month a year ago. Last year,"Black Panther" helped boost sales to a whopping $1 billion for the month, the best February ever. Of course, there is plenty for moviegoers and theater owners to look forward to in 2019. Disney's"Captain Marvel," which opens Friday, is the first of many potential blockbusters coming down the pike.
