I think the way the dates land may hurt Endgames changes of breaking either OD or OW records... not impossible but it does make things hard given some states are off holidays...... As noted :- Wednesday is the OD and it's a full day from 8am till last session around midnight starting i think depending on location. There are no previews on the Tuesday night / mids either. but then thursday is a public holiday but is only a half day for cinemas due to the anzac day regulations. I suspect that Wednesday + thursday afternoon/night will play like the full Opening Day would have making the actual OD slightly lower than it might have under normal circumstances. my gut :- Here's my prediction :- (no OD or OW records here but i'd imagine the 5 day total is gonna be impressive ;)) Daily - OW aggregate / total Gross Wed - 8.5m thurs - 7.5m - 7.5m / 16m Fri - 5.5m - 13m / 21.5m Sat - 7.5m - 20.5m / 29m Sun - 6.5m - 27m / 35.5m OD = 8.5m OW = 27m Total Gross to date = 35.5m As I said both records are close but i think we will just fall short due to the thursday public holiday in this. EDIT - without the way it's opening i think it would have landed close to a 12m OD and 30-32m OW... that's my thoughts on it here... either way the opening is impressive, but i think star wars can hold onto it's records here.

the question i have can we finally see a 10m OD ?

Right so time to put things in perspective here :- Opening Weekend Records (please correct if i miss something) 1. Star Wars: the Force Awakens 27.3m 2. Avengers: Infinity War 21.2m (29.9m if you include the Wednesday Opening Day) 3. Star Wars: The Last Jedi 21.0m 4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 18.4m (25.5m if you include the Wednesday Opening Day) Opening Day Records 1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens 9.4m 2. Avengers: Infinity War 8.7m 3. Star Wars: The Last Jedi 7.1m 4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 7.0m (I think i'm missing a OD but i can't find the records anymore) the best comparisons here are Infinity War (of course and is probably the yardstick it needs to beat) and Harry Potters then record opening is also relevant but less so... Especially given Endgame opens on the Wednesday like Infinity War - I think this will put the OW record out of reach at this point (27m seems a stretch for the normal 4 day weekend but 35m over 5 days seems in reach however.

ok that makes life simpler! will update my spreadsheet accordingly.

@chasmmi Chas - so i understand the scoring system here. Incorrect Answers count as Cashouts or not (in the context of the number of Cashouts) - just clarifying so this is scored correctly

I have a sneaking feeling Chas is trying to pull a swiftly on us. Both songs by Celine. Mmmmmm very suspicious

Can I ask how many songs that someone picked as no.1 didn’t make the top 106.

just looking, it's on 4 x VMAX, 2 x Gold Class and 1 x normal - pretty much only playing on a premium format.... Just looking at Avengers endgame - i see it opens on the 24th here ? (a day earlier than expected). Also noticing that the first sessions are 8am on wed (exclude thursday because nothing starts before 2pm), fri, sat and sunday. last sessions on thursday, friday and saturday start at 11pm too... so pretty much playing all day (been a while since i've seen sessions that early and late)

i think it's going to be interesting which film everyone puts to the top of their domestic.... you could argue 3 films have a shot based on predictions :- Avengers Pika The Lion King They are appear to be the 3 front runners for top spot this game... It's almost a toss up this one. you could debate that toy story 4 is an outside but very unlikely shot too. it's going to be interesting game (could we see 3 films go in excess of 600m in 1 summer ? too low ? 700m then (I've seen predictions for all 3 films that or higher) As for OW u would think Avengers has that sewn up however i suspect pika and lion king could end up a lot closer than u think and heck who knows where spiderman lands in all this (if I were sony I would have released this in november avoiding the craziness that is this summer....)

Here is my take on the mcu and how I like each film.... The 2 weakest films in the mcu for me is The Incredible Hulk and Thor 2. Infinity War is the strongest but The original Avengers, GOTG, and Antman and the wasp also hit the big notes for me too.. Phase 1 Iron Man 8.5 / 10 The Incredible Hulk 7 / 10 Iron Man 2 8 / 10 Thor 8 / 10 Captain America : The First Avenger 7.5 / 10 The Avengers 9.5 / 10 Phase 2 Iron Man 3 8 / 10 Thor : The Dark World 7 / 10 Captain America : The Winter Soldier 9 / 10 Guardians of the Galaxy 9.5 / 10 Avengers : Age of Ultron 9 / 10 Ant-Man 8 / 10 Phase 3 Captain America: Civil War 9 / 10 Doctor Strange 8.5 / 10 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 9 / 10 Spider-Man: Homecoming 8 / 10 Thor: Ragnarok 9 / 10 Black Panther 9 / 10 Avengers: Infinity War 10 / 10 Ant-Man and the Wasp 9.5 / 10 Captain Marvel 9 / 10 [yes I have seen it and enjoyed it - great addition to the mcu…] very much looking forward to endgame!

Wow. Nice So we have Pv - 20.5m Friday (without Pv) - 40.9m Sat (a guard) - 53m - 54.5m Sun (projected) - 37m to 49m So the range I get after those is 151m - 164m) I think CM lands around 158m based on this Fantastic result!

and yet again another season where u just need to be close to top in the weeklies but a monster preseason will win the game.

and just for interests sake... here is top 15 against the actuals..... you can see he only missed 1 film (The Upside is the missing piece) surprisingly he didn't get 1 film in the exact position and the closest to predictor is coloured green... very impressive... @Simionski @chasmmi A: Top 15 Domestic Actuals Simionski Movie Gross.

yeah when i was scoring i kinda realised simionski had it in the bag when i saw he had 14 / 15 .... @chasmmi i don't think anyone has done 14 / 15 before ... can you remember ? @baumer

For reference, @Simionski has won the 2018 / 2019 winter game @Sheikh landed in runner up while bronze went to @PanaMovie Congratulations to everyone and thanks for a wonderful game... so much fun and back soon wwhen the summer game post lands.... and it's closer than you think @chasmmi

In case you can be bothered opening all of those spoilers here is a simpler version....

@Sheikh your turn is here... Sheikh Like ZeeSoh before him, Sheikh needs a monster top 15 to hand onto top from here.

And then there was 1, @Sheikh who has led for much of the game now since he took from @BobDole, now needs to put up one of the best scores of the top 15 (2nd best is required here)..... it seems almost impossible but then @Simionski has proven it's possible... but can he do it!
