Entgroup has IW at $54.95 million for Sunday, and $202.73 million for the OW.
Thu $9.35 m
Fri $60.89 m
Sat $77.54 m (adjusted down by about $2m from the initial figure)
Sun $54.95 m
$202.73 m
Is this site accurate? It says $79.67 million Saturday for IW in China, and a cume of $149.73 million (just up-ticked a few seconds ago, BTW).

If so, a SAT-SUN drop of less than 37% would mean a $200 million weekend.
Disappointing?
This film is on track to earn TWO-THIRDS OF A BILLION DOLLARS IN PROFIT. On an investment of $450 million.
BTW, the US corporate tax rate has been cut from 35% to 21%. And the effective rate will be even lower.
The Mouse is roaring.
China Box Office: 'Avengers: Infinity War' Crushes Presales Records
[The Hollywood Reporter] 9:42 AM PDT 5/9/2018 by Patrick Brzeski
Marvel Disney's Avengers: Infinity War is revving up to make a massive start in the Chinese film market, the world's second-biggest box-office territory.
The mega-tentpole had notched $47.5 million (RMB 302 million) in presales as of late Wednesday night in Beijing. With a full day to go before the local release Friday, Infinity War has set a new all-time ticket presales record in China, surpassing the estimated RMB 300 million (about $47 million at today's exchange rate) earned by Edko Film's Monster Hunt 2 during the lead-up to Chinese New Year in January.
Infinity War also handily crushed Hollywood's record for presales in China — Universal's Fate of the Furious was the prior record holder with an estimated $25 million (RMB 158 million) in 2017.
Apparently, CA CW is the biggest non-Korean film opening.

Maybe that will happen, but it will take a lot of heavy lifting:
Also, on an adjusted basis, the LotR movies had a modest domestic increase ($477m, $502m, $536m)
