And Panther is pretty much the only one besides Thanos that gets to say anything in the trailer, also providing the most buzzed about bit on social media " get this man a shield." Bow down to Feige.

Fandango is going to implode the day IW goes on sale. RIP all their servers.

Some here are clinging to the stubborn notion that CW was TA3, and therefore the ceiling has been set, when CW was never the same as a TA film in terms of floors and ceilings. Been arguing that for two years now, and IW is going to prove it soon.

Except its first trailer is the most viewed of all time online, its Superbowl spot dominated the rest, and its social media buzz has been astronomically high months before pre-sales even go on. BP had none of those things going for it and look what it's doing anyways. This is very much a JW to TFA history repeat, imo. However huge JW was, TFA was always bound to do even more. Same situation here.

Let's make a lofty assumption though and just say that both BP and IW end up 600+ grossers DOM. You'd think the GA would need a little time to cool down from MCU after that right? Idk, who knows at this point. I will say it would be beyond epic if AM2 pulled off something like 105 on OW and great WOM and kept the 300 streak going.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Meaning AM2 is unlikely to get much of an IW boost. Thor to Thor 2 situation wouldn't shock me after the first trailer.

Considering the movie's time frame, maybe not. Hell, is he even in IW? They sure don't want to show him in the marketing if so.

300m OW for IW. Poor Ant-Man, still not sure if that one is gonna clear much past 200 DOM. I guess his name is fitting among titans.

The five will also surpass $5b WW cumulatively. In a 12 month release span. Insane.

The Sunday hold should be very soft since Monday is a holiday. Would bet on sub 15%.

Of course not. Don't you remember that was one of the things humanity collectively agreed to wipe from history when we altered dimensions?

My crazy (or are they?) projections now: Thu: 25 Fri: 65 Sat: 71 Sun: 62 Mon: 35 3 day: 223 4 day: 258

I think Hollywood exec's heads would collectively explode if BP set the OW record. All these years spent thinking a certain ethnicity can't carry a big budget tentpole on their own to profitability, and then the first one comes along and shatters box office records.

Damn, now IW has no competition for the crown.

There's just so little of him though when you get down to it, and I felt like his childhood and adolescent years were just itching for some more fleshed out backstory that never came.

Was anyone else a bit underwhelmed with Killmonger's treatment? I do like what's there with him, but he doesn't really show up until half way through and I didn't feel like his backstory was nearly as fleshed out as it should have been. I felt like there was a ton of potential with that to truly make him one of the best and most empathized movie villains in years that they just left on the table, and now he's already dead. Really my only gripe about the film.

I think JW2 and I2 will both finish between 370-390. Will go with I2 for now.

Mmm hmm, well I'll just let the director and his need to explain all his decisions speak for itself. Something Coogler surely won't be doing with BP because he knows he made a winner that needs no defending.

Lord I hope that's the first and last time I ever see TLJ mentioned in the same breadth of quality as BP.

200 for the 3 day is happening if it's 24m in previews. That's almost the same as Civil War's previews, except the breakdown of pre-sales Deep Wang gave us showed that BP was not preview heavy at all compared to all other recent MCU releases in pre-sales. And there's so much more potential for walk up business than something like Civil War. Gonna be a crazy ride this weekend.

Yeah, I definitely don't see it bombing then. Should be good for at least 150 DOM and 150 OS. RPO may get my vote after that newest trailer. Unless China is there for it, I don't think the rest of the world will be.

That trailer put the nail in the coffin for this to be any kind of box office hit DOM, imo. It really couldn't look more niche if they were trying, and the dialouge and acting from the two leads seems very cringey. I'm honestly surprised this is even Spielberg after that trailer. I also think the CGI for the humans when they're in the Oasis is pretty horrendous. Uncanny valley to the max and they look like they should be in an animated film, not a live action one. Kind of Polar Express-ish. Noticed since the first trailer, but was giving the benefit of the doubt that maybe it would look better closer to release. Nope.

I'd bet RPO does 250-300 WW. I'm sure it cost at least 150m, if not closer to 200. Tomb Raider only cost 80m and at least 200m WW should be locked. WiT could be a bit of a bomb if Disney went crazy on the budget and it cost 200m or something, which is possible since it's them. But I think it makes around 400 WW.

Pacific Rim, Ready Player One, and Mortal Engines should replace WiT, Skyscraper, and Tomb Raider on this poll.

Don't know budgets of hardly any of these, which makes it pretty hard to say. Annihilation is going to make the least. Alita will bomb. WiT and Skyscraper won't bomb. OS will save Tomb Raider from being a bomb, might save Mowgli. Venom, The Meg, and The Predator could all go either way.
