Marvel’s “Iron Man” and “Captain America” series have three films each under their respective super-belts. As the numbers are still being tallied for “Captain America: Civil War,” let’s compare the two franchises.

Steve Rogers out-muscles Tony Stark when it comes to the opening weekends of their latest films: With a $181.8 million opening, “Civil War” beat “Iron Man 3,” which launched with $174.1 million.

So far, “Iron Man 3” has the highest domestic gross of the two Marvel franchises with $409 million. But that could change once more “Civil War” numbers stream in in the coming weeks.
Winner: Iron Man (For Now)

Made on a reported $250 million production budget, “Civil War” is the most expensive movie of both series by $50 million. (“Iron Man 3” cost $200 million.)

“Iron Man 3” holds the record for worldwide grosses among the two franchises with $1.2 billion. We’ll see if “Civil War” can cap that.
Winner: Iron Man

With a runtime of two hours and 27 minutes, “Civil War” stays onscreen the longest of any “Captain America” or “Iron Man” movie.

With $806.4 million, “Iron Man 3” made more overseas than any film in either series (though “Civil War” could eventually come out on top in that category, too).
Winner: Iron Man (For Now)

Now at 73.2 percent, “Civil War” has brought in the highest percentage of foreign box office, compared with its domestic returns. Again, that could change in the coming weeks – though the trend with each new Cap and Iron Man sequel has been an increasing international percentage.
Winner: Captain America

“Iron Man 2” opened in the most theaters of both series: 4,390. That’s just a few more than the 4,226 for “Civil War.”
Winner: Iron Man

The per theater average for “Civil War” is $43,017 right now, but that should lessen in the coming weeks. Before that, “Iron Man 3” holds the record with an average of $40,946.
Winner: To be determined
