Pretty good for a movie no one wants staring a character no one likes.

You'll be surprised. I know that Carol's had a pretty rocky comics history, even before Civil War II (didn't she go full Oedipus at one point?), but people are incredibly excited for this movie. Part of that is admittedly from female fans wanting the Marvel version of Wonder Woman, but that's still a sizable portion of the audience, and therefore can't be overlooked. Plus, most of the people who go to see MCU movies have never picked up a comic in their life. I'm currently studying Marvel's business practices in college, and with all due respect, the majority of my classmates are females who only really care about the popular stuff (in fact, I've pretty much been labeled as the class nerd, for better or for worse), and it's really telling when in a vote, the class's favorite Marvel character was one that no one outside of mid-2000s comic readers knew about until a few months ago (Shuri). The fact of the matter is, there are more of those kinds of casuals than there are us, which isn't necessarily a bad thing; in fact, from a monetary perspective, it's for the best.
