Looking at the other mega-openers (TFA, TLJ, JW, TA) it looks like a slight Tuesday drop is to be expected. Is it the case that discount Tuesday doesn't really help movies that are already operating at near capacity?

Infinity War had the 2nd best Monday drop of movies in the top 10.

China: *sees Infinity War's crazy overperformance in the rest of the world* China: "Hold my beer."

Yeah, its not going to match TFA's second Friday, but as we've established, Avengers movies make up for that by doing crazy good on Saturday.

Is the 'spillover effect' even a real thing? Because I looked through the top openers and I'm not seeing any movies that look like what you'd expect from the spillover effect. Almost every movie that had a soft Monday drop ended up with good legs. There are a few movies that almost fit the criteria. Civil War and BvS both had soft Monday drops after very harsh Sunday drops, so those don't quite fit. DH2 also had a good Sunday drop, but it was in Summer, after a very frontloaded weekend, so spillover doesn't make sense as an explanation either. So are there movies that demonstrate spillover?

The Avengers' Monday drop would give Infinity War 22.9M, so anything larger than that would be amazing.

Would also be interesting to see Infinity War v. The Force Awakens.

Haha, yes. Hi. I lurk here.
