    BOM updated their list, at least The Rythm Section will be remembered fondly for beating a 14-year-old box office record:

    Worst Wide Openings

     

    1 The Rhythm Section $2,800,000  

    It's also got the record for biggest theater drop.

    LAST JEDI THOUGHT
     

    If the hyperdrive suicide bomb is so effective why don't they make small unmanned ships and launch them at each other?

     

     

    The Resistance cruiser was one of the largest capital ships around. Rogue One shows us what happens when a fighter or transport hits a capital ship while jumping to lightspeed: it just splatters on the shields.

    Also, massive record-breaking breakout hits like TFA, Avengers, Jurassic World, Black Panther and so on usually tend to have their sequels drop to some degree from the first film, because breaking out to that degree tends to require some form of novelty (first cinematic superhero team-up movie, a triumphant franchise return, first (modern) black superhero movie and so on.) The second movies lose that novelty and thus tend to drop. The only reason people are assuming otherwise for A4 is because the biggest moment in IW was literally a cliffhanger leading into it. (And even then I still kinda think A4 is going to decrease from it.) 

    On the one hand, sequels to breakout hits tend to decrease. On the other, popular series finales tend to increase (see SW OT, SW PT, HP). The question is which trend will dominate for Avengers.

    Only thing that frustrated me a bit in the movie was Vision. I really don't get how he went from being the all powerful being in Ultron to getting stabbed once and have to be carried for the rest of the movie in this. I'm not one to focus too much on plot details, power levels, plot holes etc I don't care most of the time but this is bothering me for whatever reason.

    I figure that while he was all-powerful by human standards, Thanos had encountered something like him before, and knew of a weakness.

    Is 600 million a done deal if the opening is 250M? The reception to this movie makes me think it shouldn't have legs equal to or lower than AOU, despite the monster opening. 2.5x seems right. 

    So far, every 200M+ opener has gone on to make at least 600M. I see no reason for this to break the streak, especially if it's that far over 200M.
