I think much of the reaction comes from the fact that presales seemed to indicate a OW in China over the Dom OW, at least to the most knowledgeable users in this subforum. I for one thoughh the floor was 230M, based on POTUS pojections so, since I thought 200M was already in the bag, it doesn't look too great for me, even though objectively it is a great number. Also, I'm not blaming the users who made the projections at all, I'm thankful to them for trying to predict as well as they could. I reckon this movie behaved very differently than what's normal in relation to presales, so not their fault.

This following the box office real time is really intense!

And we are in May, so it's all the confirmation I need. China OW over US OW confirmed, thanks @Daxtreme!

Didn't notice anyone commenting on this, this list, is the highest grossing movies worldwide without 2018 movies, is it going to count? @Critically Acclaimed Panda

Here it goes. Nothing too offesive, I guess, except having 4 MCU movies on the top 10 (That is, before 2018). I have many more movies from the 10's than other lists, and way less from the eighties. I guess that's because I just started getting into movie on the 10s, most of the old good movies I have watched are here because of the effort I made a couple of years ago to watch all movies on the top 250 of IMDb. I also really love westerns, many of my 10/10 (which go down to number 42 on this list) are westerns in one way or another (No Country for Old Men is not considered a western on Letterboxd, but I consider it to be so.) including my favorite non-MCU movie of all time, Unforgiven. Decade breakdown: 1920 - 0 1930 - 1 1940 - 3 1950 - 7 1960 - 10 1970 - 6 1980 - 3 1990 - 11 2000 - 27 2010 - 32 Directors with 3 or more movies on the top 100: Tarantino - 5 Kubrick - 4 Nolan - 4 Villenueve - 3 Coen Brothers - 3

Can I have Kill Bill 1 and 2 as one movie?

I feel like some people put excessive emphasis on multiplier. Many people would consider Infinity War to be more of a success if it hit 650 off of a 220 OW than 700 with 258 OW, and that makes no sense. Multipliers are only good as a measure of audience reception, (good multipliers are also generally more fun to track, since everyday there is an impressive number) but if a movie has a huge opening because of a very high demand, it won't reach too high a multiplier, even if it's very well received, except for very rare cases. So if Marvel has 4 movies on the top 25, even if their multiplier is a piece of shit, that doesn't mean anything other than they are an incredibly successful studio and franchise. IW multiplier is good for what it is, reception is very good as anyone can attest, and it's total numbers are just great, the international numbers even greater. Edit: Also, they actually have 6, and the other 2 just have good multipliers, so it's even better.

Hey, is there a way I can export a list from letterboxd? Couldn't find it, and wouldn't like to have to write manually all the movies. If there isn't, could I send my list as a link to there instead of text here?

People did say the marketing is deceiving, so some people might take their mothers thinking it's not what it really is...

You'll have mine by tomorrow.

Thiago Saturday number makes me sad. I know it's still better than what was being predicted before the movie opening, but the weekdays gave me hope it was going to be closer to Avengers legs than Ultron. Anyways, no way we can call a 110M second weekend bad. At least here in Brazil it's going to become the highest grossing movie of all time as it deserves...

Cool list. You have The Perks of being a Wallflower twice.

The miningcart sequence is awesome.

Ah, ok. That explains why there were sources saying different things. What's that fan event though?

It is 13 minutes longer than the previous longest, which was CW.

Haha I can see now why they have decided to go safe with last crusade. I'm really enjoying this movie, the set pieces are great. Just those minor quarrels with the beginning and stuff.

My God, the guy just ripped the dude's heart with his bare hands!

Okay, this scene with both of them in their bedrooms is really cool!

I don't think I over analyze, I usually try to give the movie the benefit of the doubt, like "maybe there is a reason for the characters to do this, that I just don't know". But when it is so clear and important for a scene, it takes me out of it.

Well, I usually care about logic in all movies. It did get better since they arrived at the Indian village though.

I'm watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom on Netflix right now, and so far very little in the film made sense at all. The whole bar shootout scene felt completely forced, at every point Indy was way overwhelmed, they could have just killed any time. Also, why did the girl travel with him? She just followed him into the plane. Also, of the plane guys wanted to kill him, why not shoot him while he slept, instead of giving up a whole plane just to kill a guy.

How come we have so much more info on China presales than on US?

I was hoping for more, but without the previews, the Friday drop is almost exactly the same as Avengers. If it gets the same jump on Sat and Sunday than BP it will get to 122, which is a better drop from the true weekend than TA. Way better drop than AoU and CW, so still, fine legs.

Speaking of that, I find it hilarious how some of this articles include "already breaking records" for records that are based on a defined period of time. Of course the record for sales on the first 24h is going to be beaten in the first 24h!

There is a very simple explanation as to why Avatar ends up in BOT's discussions...
