Late but i looked into it the small local movie theater and the closest cinema i go to aren't doing that (i can't speak for more cucked parts of Canada but i don't expect Captain Marvel to be pushed as much)
Edit: I looked the rest of the cinemas in and around the nearby big city, and while it isn't the only movie playing it's still pushed in a disgusting way with easily the most showings in the region over until Wednesday (i couldn't see further) with between 50 and 100 showings (and quite closer to 100 than 50) with the rest nowhere near that and the big cinemas showing it in Standard, 3d, 3D Avx, 3d Avx Dbox (what the fuck is dbox even) and regular Avx
Absolutely disgusting

You know you can head to Box Office Mojo and compare the number of screens Captain Marvel is on to other Disney films. That will help you confirm/disprove your suspicions.
Opening Weekend Screens
Captain Marvel: 4310
Infinity War: 4474
Ant-Man and the Wasp: 4206
Black Panther: 4020
Solo: A Star Wars Story: 4381
Star Wars: The Force Awakens: 4134
The amount of screens devoted to Captain Marvel isn't out of the ordinary compared to other Disney films released over the last few years.

I wasn't aware you could check! That's good to know. Yeah, I didn't get the hubbub about Captain Marvel dominating screens. It's a brand new movie and it's of a brand Disney is pushing hard, the MCU. Does anyone really believe that any Star Wars or Pirates of the Caribbean or honestly, even a DC movie from WB gets any less?

Every Single '90s Song & Reference In "Captain Marvel"
"Captain Marvel" is so '90s that it might actually take you more than one viewing to catch all these nods to the era of dial-up internet and Nirvana.
“Whatta Man” by Salt-N-Pepa plays when the first security guard Carol encounters is sitting at the Blockbuster and listening to this in his car.
“Only Happy When it Rains” by Garbage plays while Carol heads out on her (stolen) motorcycle into the dessert.
“Waterfalls” by TLC plays on the radio as Carol and Fury drive to the Pegasus base.
“Gotta Be” by Des'ree is on at Maria and Monica's a when Carol and Fury show up.
“Come As You Are” by Nirvana plays during Carol's last encounter with the Supreme Intelligence, and Mar-Vell (Annette Bening) dances to the song. Iconic.
“Just A Girl” by No Doubt scores the final fight scene on Mar-Vell’s ship and it is legendary.
“Man on the Moon” by R.E.M., which is quite fitting after Carol literally flew threw space and split Ronan's ship in half, plays while Carol, Fury, Monica, Talos, and everyone else are eating dinner.
“Celebrity Skin” by Hole is the first end credit song and a fitting send-off for Captain Marvel's first outing.

Looks good so far but foreign box office keeps more of the grosses than the US does. Google shows the estimated production budget at around $150+ m w/o marketing.
I have a feeling they told Larson to say something that boneheaded before its release so they can conveniently lower expectations to the $80m+ range and blame the trolls later.

To bad they didn't have the best 90's song in this movie. It could have made Brie Larson actually emote something other than wood!Every Single '90s Song & Reference In "Captain Marvel"

I was going to say that was a terrible pick for a Garbage song, but then I remembered all the good Garbage songs were on their 2001 album, Beautiful Garbage.

While a lot of these songs aren't bad ... This is, by far, the most bland, white bread 90s playlist you could have.
I predicted this would be the case for the movie. I wasn't quite expecting the cringey placement for these songs, though. Hilarious AND horrifying.
Also, pet peeve: Only Disney would have their protagonist wear a Nine Inch Nails t-shirt, and then call the look "grunge." You can't get any more "normie" than that. lol. God damn.

Then they could’ve set it in the 2000s and played Basement Jaxx songs

I find it inaccurate for a 1998 song called Celebrity Skin to be featured in a file that is set in 1995.

Speaking of the '90s stuff, I still don't understand why they bothered to set it during that period. I figured maybe they'd tie it into some real world event from then but, nope, they didn't. They don't even really bother to create a unique style for the movie that anchors it in the '90s; there's also only a handful of jokes and pop culture references that require it being in the '90s.
They needed to set it before the first Iron Man film takes place but there's really nothing in the movie that required it to be in 1995 rather than 2005. The only thing that comes to mind is that all the flashbacks to her pre-Kree life needed to take place in the '70s and '80s to sell the whole "lol ur just a dumb lil girl" crap.

My point is that they barely use it even for nostalgia. There's the Blockbuster scene, the 'grunge' look she has for two scenes, and two or three references to computers being slow. That's it.
The Guardian of the Galaxy films invoke nostalgia more than Captain Marvel does.
