Per Deadline

@Porthos with accurate estimates as usual.

Thought it’d reach $6m, but that’s pretty close. With 10-11x, it’s looking at $57-63m. I had predicted $65-70m and it could still get there depending on how it plays over the weekend.

Hmm...this can’t possibly mean $6m right? I’ll go with $10m

What DC film that hasn’t already been dated will be opening on that date? Nothing else has been in production long enough or even started filming to make that date.

The issue isn’t expectations being subverted. The things that are happening were things that have been theorized for the past 2 years. It was either the NK is big bad, or he loses and they need to take Cersei out + plus Dany goes Mad Queen. It’s just that it’s all happening so fast and as a result, you have character acting stupid. Everything is so telegraphed that it looses the punch that made GOT must-watch TV. I only started watching because everyone around me was and I wanted to see how it would all end. At this point, I’d be all for them subverting my expectations. That’d actually make it more interesting than it is. And I don’t buy that a large portion of the fan base is against GOT. I feel like a lot of people just want it to be over. The excitement is gone. Doesn’t mean we won’t watch or we hate it, it’s just not as satisfying a conclusion as we hoped. It’s all just ‘fine’, when the hope was that it would be great.

Lol it’s not just you. I and several others read your post and missed it. It had been quoted multiple times too.

That looks really good. Excited for it. Haven’t seen Akwafina in a dramatic role before.

I really liked the last episode despite recognizing the flaws in some of the execution. Loved Arya killing the NK. And my biggest complaints were that I could barely see the battle and Cersei not getting a dose of the army of the dead. This episode was pretty much crap. Didn’t have the suspense and excitement of the last episode or the character building moments of the first 2 episodes. Just a lot of stupidity all around. The best character of this season remains Arya. Sansa continues to sink lower. And that’s saying something because I started the season wanting Sansa on the throne. Everyone but Arya can die at this point for all I care.

People would come after you for the way you use that term. Not sure why people still legitimize such a ridiculous term/complaint.

Endgame‘s second weekend is poised to be a record, beating Force Awakens ($149.2M); we’re hearing $180M-$200M at this point in time, which is between -45% and -50%.

Just catching up on the thread. Saw the actuals adjusted to $357m, which is amazing! And now this?!!?! On a work day! What even is the movie?!!?

I thought it was pretty suspenseful and the most engaging episode yet this season. The obvious negatives were the lighting and the stupidity foisted upon some characters. I couldn’t see for most of that battle and thought it was my TV in particular until I checked Twitter and saw others had the same problem. I really thought Rhaegal was the one biting Viserion’s head, but then Jon drops to the ground. Just a lot of murkiness.

Not a disappointment imo.

FFH won’t be the 50th. Think it’ll be Avatar 2. Of those listed, the ones with the best shot are Pikachu (depending on how it does in Asia/Latin America), Toy Story 4, FFH, TLK, Hobbs & Shaw, Frozen II, TROS, Wonder Woman 1984.

I watched the first season years ago and lost interest. Decided to watch all 7 seasons in prep for final season. It really doesn’t get exciting till Season 3 imo.

Do you mean WW? Because Titanic is Paramount. If you meant DOM, then yes.

ComScore claims 54% like the MCU, so yeah majority were fans. https://deadline.com/2019/04/avengers-endgame-opening-weekend-box-office-record-1202602445/

Yeah, Us might need some help from Universal to get over Get Out with that drop. Hoping for double features.

$350M $1.21B INSANITY! And actuals are going to be higher. It’s all so ridiculous I’m almost feeling numb to it. I wasn’t here for The Avengers’ OW when it seems everyone realized these movies aren’t just going to make their $500-800m WW. I was for IW and that was bonkers. But this is on another level entirely. It’s straight up insane. A weekend I won’t forget. So glad I’ve been able to watch and follow these movies, culminating in the highest achievement at the box office for the MCU. Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out over the next several weeks.

The first three on your list Thor: Ragnarok The Avengers The Rest

Sure.

So is the goal Pikachu over Endgame’s 3rd weekend? Because you didn’t explicitly state that. I think it’s possible. Will have to see how Endgame does next weekend to make a decision though.

Some of you need to relax. The movie is making an unprecedented amount of money this weekend. Enjoy it. All this bickering about what where it’ll end up is getting old fast. Sure, it’s not impossible for Endgame to beat TFA/Avatar, but it’s not easy or likely either. It’s actually very unlikely because the movie will be frontloaded, A+ CinemaScore/great GA, fan and critic reception. I definitely think it’s too early to make judgements about where it’ll end up. The way some of you are acting, it’ll be a disappointment at $800m/$2.5b...which is ridiculous.
