How is this even possible at this point with the favorable exchange rates and the overperformance all over the world?

It's the equivalent of a $9,5m-$10,5m range. Nothing unusual.

Sequels often lose the casual moviegoers. I think IW won them back by selling it as the Must See movie of the year. That's what I meant with my post. Of course it IS a sequel, but the hype is definetely wider spread, than it was for Ultron.

In my opinion, Infinity War doesn't play like a sequel, it feels more like an original movie, that's why i'm expecting the numbers to go up as the day progresses. It has the certain kind of hype around it, that reminds me of the run of the orininal Avengers or JW. We'll see, will be an interesting night.

Seriously, you could see it coming with the very first trailer. I was quite confused by the muted predictions od the other users.

Reads like something resulting out of a Oval Office meeting of recent months. It's beyond me, how this will do this place any good, but well, have fun I guess. Reason has left many parts of the country, so why would it stop here? You have a great privilege in being able to provide early numbers. You don't have to share them, but you can. You can behave like a prviledged person because of it, but you could also just do it, because you are a nice person and feel good about sharing that information, because it makes others happy.

Hollywood Reporter: I feel Pretty: 5,5m-7m/17-20m Super Troopers: 10-15m Traffik: 4m Rampage: 54% drop or more (would mean 16,5m or less) https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/weekend-box-office-super-troopers-2-beats-i-feel-pretty-thursday-previews-1104402

Variety: 20m AQP 17m I Feel Pretty 11m Super Troopers 2 4m Traffik http://variety.com/2018/film/box-office/box-office-i-feel-pretty-quite-place-1202772858/ Feels more like it...

I wouldn't be surprised if ST2 is extremely presale heavy and more in the 5m-range in the end.

Mh, the trailers sell it, as if all is going down and Thanos wins. That's exactly what I expect of IW to be honest. The Avengers will be in ruins when Infinity War ends. Avengers 4 will be the resurrection, that's already going to be teasered at the end of Infinity War. I actually would bet a little money on a funeral scene to finish the movie.

We knew the underground-shot from the pictures, but I thought this would be for promotional purpose. Didn't they spoiler pretty much the probable twist with Hathaway being with them in the end?

It's a horrible trailer for such a movie. It takes itself way too serious and has literally no fun written above it. It's like they tried to be Jurassic Park with a budget of $20m. I once thought this could be a guilty pleasure surprise, but when a trailer for Sharknado 3 looks like more fun, you have a serious problem... Oh, and are the $150m Budget-Rumors really true? I have a hard time believing it. The visuals do certainly not look like a $150m budget.

Of course there is. The whole selling point of the movie is having cast 2 big teenie stars with Hale and that Teen Wolf Guy. They would be very stupid, not to get a PG-13.

Kids movies traditionally have a very soft drop after easter. Easter weekend actually isn't too kind for kids movies. Boss Baby -39% Easter, -21% After Zootopia -35% Easter/ -20% After Home -48% Easter/ -31% After

A quiet Place finally arrived at Movietickets #4 with 7,2%. That's ver encouraging. I just had a random 1m-look at Pulse and counted: 24 A Quiet Place 11 Blockers Not too shabby...

That's what I thought, too, but on the other hand, might be inflated due to easter holidays. My big fat greek wedding 2 opened to $3m+ in Australia, but that might be due to the big greek population there.

It unfortunately always depends who is calculating and which movies they use as a comparison. Espacially with a rare constellation like this weekend.

Looking at the inflated weekday numbers, this seems pretty solid for the openers. Not too great for Tomb Raider, but okayish.

Seems like this is the movie, who can deliver, what The Witch, It comes at Night or It Follows couldn't: Connect with the audience. Looks like the big breakthrough Paramount urgently needed.

The Visuals are the smallest problem here tbh. I actually think, they look perfectly well in the trailers. Well composed and believable CGI, just like Ready Player One.

I'm not sure if tracking such a movie is an easy task. “The Fault in Our Stars” is looking at an opening north of $30 million, based on tracking two weeks away from its opening, though Fox is projecting a debut between $20 million and $25 million. https://www.thewrap.com/fault-in-our-stars-social-media-buzz-shailene-woodley-box-office-fox/

The question is do they compare the numbers to BP last Friday or do they compare it to Avengers on second friday. If they compare it to last friday, they obviously will be off. Afternoon will always drop harder than evening, because evening is easier at capacity at OD.

It would be hilarious, if it wasn't the voice in the head of what they say is the most poweful man on earth.

Still not a record, though. Waiting for Fox News to spread the news.

All that's missing now is a tweet by your president, stating, that it's not a record.
