The newest Marvel film, Captain Marvel, opened this past weekend and it enjoyed a massive, record-breaking debut at the box office. According to Deadline, the movie made $153 million in the United States and Canada, with a further $302 million coming in from international markets. Globally, Captain Marvel made $455 million for its first weekend.

The domestic haul of $153 million represents the third-biggest debut for a movie in March in the history of film, only behind Beauty and the Beast ($174.7 million) and Batman v. Superman ($166 million).

Additionally, Captain Marvel’s opening-weekend box office performance is better than the opening weekends for Iron Man 1 and 2, the first two Captain America movies, all the Thor films, Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2, and every Spider-Man movie ever released. Captain Marvel also opened to a bigger first-weekend box office number than Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Suicide Squad, Venom, and every X-Men movie ever.

“Marvel Studios continues to have an incredible track record that remains unbroken,” Disney executive Cathleen Taff said. ” Audiences feel they know what they are getting when they buy their movie ticket.”

On a global basis, Captain Marvel had the second-best best opening for a superhero film ever, only behind Avengers: Infinity War ($640.5 million). The $302 million that Captain Marvel made for its opening weekend is the sixth-biggest opening in the history of movies on a worldwide basis.

In North America, Captain Marvel finished its opening weekend as the seventh-largest opening weekend in the MCU. It was eclipsed by Iron Man 3, Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther, and all three Avengers films.

Captain Marvel holds the record for the biggest opening-weekend in the history of film for a female-led movie on a global basis, with its $455 million haul eclipsing the Emma Watson-starring Beauty and the Beast ($357 million), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Before we can get to WWE’s biggest show of the year, Wrestlemania, we have to make a pitstop at Fastlane. Traditionally, this PPV has been a “stay the course” type of show where nothing big happens. However, this year, Fastlane is building on solid storylines that are leading into Wrestlemania.

First and foremost, everyone wants to see Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey at Mania. However, considering the story with Lynch kayfabe suspended, she’ll have to beat Charlotte Flair at Fastlane in order to reclaim that spot. Additionally, Daniel Bryan will be taking on Kevin Owens for the WWE Championship. Originally, Kofi Kingston had Owens’ spot, but there have been a few changes. More than likely, Bryan will get the win–at least that’s what we predicted–but what happens during the course of the match could have ramifications on the rumored Kofi/Bryan Wrestlemania match.

Aside from those two matches, there has been a solid build for everything else on this card. We get to see The Shield reunite, Mysterio and Andrade continue their rivalry, and there’s the first title defense for the Women’s Tag Team Championship. Typically, I’m never excited for Fastlane, but WWE really has been turning over a new leaf.

Below, you’ll find up to the minute updates for WWE Fastlane, including the winners and losers of every match, as it happens. Fastlane comes to PPV and the WWE Network on Sunday, March 10. The main card starts at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET / 12 AM GMT (March 11) with a Kickoff Show starting one hour prior. There will be two matches on the Kickoff Show this time around.

Fastlane Match Card:

• Big E & Xavier Woods vs Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev (Kickoff Match)
• Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade vs. R-Truth vs. Samoa Joe (c) (United States Championship)
• The Revival (c) vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs. Chad Gable & Bobby Roode (Triple Threat Match)
