I can't tell if this is bait or a joke. I mean, yes, it has the worst legs of any film to open north of $258M, but it also has the best legs of any film to open north of $258M, since it's the only film to open north of $258M.
Assuming for the moment that it was a joke and not bait:
Yes, just having fun and trying to stay with the spirit of today's post. He said best legs, I believe also in jest, so I just yang'd his yin. I think that's what the kids are calling it these days...
When something opens this huge, legs aren't as relevant, that's just the +/- 10% icing on the stupid-huge cake. 😉

Correct. It has the best legs of any film to open north of $258M. Who knows when those legs will be matched or exceeded.
To be fair, it also has the worst legs of any film to open north of $258M...
Point taken, uncharted territory is inherently somewhat unpredictable.

Well, I guess we'll see. Should be a fun ride for the next couple of months.
Indeed. Seems like the worst outcome for all of us would be if EG becomes predictable

So Asgard has forsaken us today?
Must mean the movie is #crumbling
Did someone forget to sacrifice the live chicken?
Or at least a bucket of KFC?
Mmmmmm.... chicken....

before LK hits theaters
the top 3 WW will be
1. EG
2. CM
3. Spiderman far from home
Thus tacking yet another BV property on the list. Add in Toy Story 4, Frozen 2 and Episode 9... Hell, maybe even Artemis Fowl...
How far down the final top 2019 list will we have to go for the first non-Disney movie?

Yeah, I definitely found Titanic's run more impressive than Avatar's. Avatar rode the waves of Titanic's success and also had a premise that was more marketable to global audiences. A period drama that's half romance and interpersonal relationships grossing nearly 2 billion in 1997 is... literally insane.
Dat 9th week alone....

Anybody else seeing far fewer showtimes at their local theaters today? The 28 screen AMC near me has about 8-10 fewer showings today than yesterday with many of the late evening/night shows gone as well as some daytime ones.
In the absence of Monday spillover and Tuesday discounts, the Wednesday and Thursday screen counts will probably be as close to 'normal' as we get for now.

This no longer really applies to today. Once endgame takes over Avatar (if it does), and if not then Avatar 2, the global box office champion will be a sequel, and I am willing to bet we will never see an original film taking over that position for the rest of the century.
The great thing about cinema is anything could be created anytime. I agree the economics of today make it significantly more challenging, but the other thing most of the movies on that list had in common is they offered something unique at the time and people got swept up in it.
Not seeing something on the horizon is different than saying it won't happen. Creativity can always happen.

It would have been in danger had the movie been released in December. Don't understand why disney refuses to release MCU movies during the holidays
Movies earlier in the year = more toy and home video sales during the holidays. Likely still nets out considerably in their favor.

Different strokes, I guess. I couldn't help myself seeing that 4 times in theatres within the first 2 weeks of release. Loved it!
Please don't misunderstand, I like the movie and have watched it plenty of times at home since. I've also seen several of the MCU movies 4+ times in the theater, CW just didn't happen to be one of them. Different strokes, and I'm good with that. 🙂

I wonder why Civil War had the lowest multiplier out of all the MCU movies. It was a damn good movie worth repeated viewings, which you can't say for a good handful of some of the other ones.
I loves me my Marvel movies, but CW was not a fun movie and therefore not one I'd pay a premium to see multiple times in a theater. It also didn't tap into the 'gotta see what all the fuss is about' GA potential like BP.

I like Avatar's spectacular visuals (not its story) but I'm also looking forward to watching Avatar 2. I remember when I first watched Avatar I was in utter awe.
It's entirely possible Avatar will manage a generational leap. I hadn't watched it since the theater, but in prep for an upcoming Disneyworld trip, showed it to my 14 year old daughter a few months ago, and she was *hooked*, just crazy into it and wanted to watch it again and again.
We get to Disneyworld, and she is just gaga over AvatarLand. Has watched it several times since. Would have never predicted that, so can't rule out Avatar 2 and beyond finding their own audience without needing to rely on nostalgia (if they're well made).

Close enough to round up to $100m gap on Infinity War opening, lol
Important bit is that it'll look like $207/257/357m in any summary. Precision math can look the other way on this one....

I'd like to take a quick moment to thank this community for making this type of box office discussion possible. Minimal vitreol, delight in the yin/yang of predictibility/surprise, and enjoyment at the wonder of it all.
I stumbled onto this group in 2008 at BOM, the same year a certain audacious franchise got underway. Blockbusters give us the joy of shared experience and this community gives us another tangential shared experience.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

I could see the OW record getting beat again before some of those later weeks Titanic records eventually get eclipsed from inflation.
That 9th week one... damn.

Just to give an idea of what Sat is, a certain number was 18.5k yesterday, its 21.5k today. Its crazy.
For IW that was 11k and 12.5k respectively.
I just completely *love* underlying data point stuff like that, thank you for sharing!

Agreed, seems to be an inherent inertia to get back to 'normal' post-massive-OW numbers.
