Week 3 - no

Updated AEG Showdown..... As you can see, AEG's weekdays like IW have dropped off. still the highest at this point in it's run however TFA is catching fast and Avatar is locked to pass sometime around week 7 or 8. There is a still chance AEG makes it to TFA's total over 94m however it appears more likely a total sub 90m is on the cards now. (though if AEG can hang onto screens more than IW did last year (see it's epic drop in Week 8 ), then maybe it can creep past TFA thanks to the June/July School Holidays.

Week 3 = no

Yeah well mmmmmm

So mid 80’s at this point look all but locked (unless it’s ripped from cinemas) IW legs get us to 88m. But looking at that film it had good holds in week 6 & 7. And collapsed. After doing a 660k weekend And a nearly 900k week in week 7 it made a further total of 800k beyond that. It dropped big. I think AEG will find better legs hence a final between 90m-95m is likely. 100m does seem a stretch at this point.

So @RtheEnd how’s the weekend shaping ? Any updates on thurs and fri. ?

Week 2 = No

well if this finishes with more than 100m AUD then 70m+ USD is on the cards i think. not touching the #1 in USD in well frankly i don't think ever bar a major change in the exchange rates

did you just say 18m and being conservative for a 2nd weekend ??????

so over 52m in 8 days so from thurs - 2.5m - 3m ? Fri - 5m Sat - 6.5m Sun - 6m 2nd weekend = 20.5m (sticking with this) and a 72.6m running total in only 12 days Just a reminder only 2 other films have ever made this many $... Avatar took 31 days (I might be a day off not sure) to reach 70m. Star Wars TFA did 70m in 19 days. it appears that AEG will do 70m in 11 or 12 days depending on the hold..... and at the same point in it's run Avatar was a mere 29m and TFA had just passed 50m....

So ok then we could over 70m by Sunday???? Sun - 44.6m mon - 3.2m / 47.8m (current total) tues - 3m? / 50.8m wed - 2m? / 52.8m thurs - 3m / 55.8m fri - 5m / 60.8m sat - 6.5m / 67.3m sun - 6m / 73.3m (2nd weekend - 20.5m) am I too optimistic? That’s just plain crazy talk.... (FYI - IW should be passed on sat (maybe fri if the holds are even crazier))

Here is week 2’s question......

Given it’s week 1. I’ll do the scoring later this week.

Ok so 30.8 USD or around 45m 5 day as per @RtheEnd. Just amazing.

Time to dig out the comparisons... and frankly there is only 3 films this can be compared toooo.... At this stage it appears that Infinity War will be done and dusted by the end of the 2nd Sunday. My projection for current EG is 100m AUD (or 60m - 70m USD). I'm not sure if Avatar is in reach but i think Star Wars is in the ballpark at the moment. as I've already mentioned earlier, i think the floor is about 85m unless we see a complete collapse next weekend. IW legs gets EG into the 90's. EDIT - red means estimated.
