I'm liking my contest prediction of $245.5 million, more and more. That being said I am hoping for an all out record book assault today and tomorrow ($80 million today, $70 million tomorrow). I don't mind losing if I predicted low
If it does over $80 million today then the OW record is gone. It would only need to beat the Sunday record by 3% at that point which would be easy after breaking the Saturday record by over 15%.
My Saturday Theater Update @ 4:15pm CST
31 showings remaining
15 showings down to the first row
10 showings down to first 2 rows
4 showings at 70-90% capacity
2 showings at 50-70% capacity
Crazy huh? When you break down the numbers they may even hit $4 BILLION. All this superhero fatigue......
BP - $1.34 billion
IW - $1.9 billion (estimate)
AM - $700 million (estimate)
I'm thinking right on the nose.
$284.5 million + $75 million Dom Sat + $65 million Dom Sun + $100 million OS Sat + $80 million OS Sun = $604.5 million worldwide
WOM right now is extremely high. Based on Deadlines prediction of $245.6m on $106.7m opening day that means they’re basically thinking $75m Sat and $64m Sun, or something in there about.
I do not believe that will happen. The current record is under $190m USD. I don’t see IW beating that by $50 million.
But it could break the China record, yes.
Deadline is saying $103 million today and pacing for a $237 million weekend. @baumer (didn't know if a mod or someone would want to see this) http://deadline.com/2018/04/avengers-infinity-war-weekend-box-office-opening-records-1202378032/
I think both of those are possible. It's beating TA1 everywhere by 10%-50% and TA1 did $809 million WITHOUT China. I'm starting to believe that $1.3 billion OS is doable.
