Just gave my theater a cursory glance for tonight’s IW shows and it’s surprising heavy on advanced sales.
I can definitely see $40 million as a real possibility tonight.
Based on current tracking (as your chart shows and the information provided by POTUS and Olive) and WOM in other similarly minded Asian markets, if it only hit ¥1000m OW ($157m US) that would be a huge let down at this point.
It shouldn't since they only went on sale at midnight EST. Everyone who planned on seeing it tonight either has there tickets for Thursday or is already at the theater / going to it.
Since Civil War managed a 1.93x OW, I’m expected this to do at least 2.10x
Do we have any idea what AOU would have done if it was a 3 day weekend and not 5? I figure at least a 2.0x
Infinity War’s Mon-Thurs will run about 27% ahead of TA1 (I’m assuming $15.5 million today).
I would put the weekend range between $124m and $133m, realistically.
Of course if it plays like AOU we’re going over $140m.
