Its gonna have an opening weekend 43% bigger than the entire total of the first part? it’s gonna be lucky if it gets to the number in its entire run. What exactly makes u think it will do this? It's not gonna do that much but I just wanna point out that Infinity War is about to make more OW than Ultron did total and 3x what the Avengers made total. So.... There's that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So.... There's that. Just because one might do something like that does not make it likely that the others will do so too. The other poster says AM2 will do almost 50% more than AM1’s entire run. That would be like IW opening to 360m in its OW. There is no reason for AM2 to grow a huge amount from AM1. Its not like AM1 did very low in China that there is room to grow significantly. And AM2 is not an event movie like IW that it will see such a boost And dont count your chickens before they hatch or u will be disappointed regarding that IW number. That is a very high and optimistic number and I will be incredibly happy if it gets there but u are setting ur hopes too high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No where in my post did I imply mutual exclusivity. Anyways back from fantasyland to actual numbers now. It did about 1.35 in the last hour or so. That a good run rate to have in the afternoon.

fmpro Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 1,5 mill/hour now. So 130 mill is the floor around midnight. Should do more when it increases tonight. Lets hope it does 135~ish and a 50% increase tomorrow for 200 mill PS 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope it does 135~ish and a 50% increase tomorrow for 200 mill PS Holy shit your projection is higher than mine for a change $ 260m is the target now. Shows continue to stay 20% ahead of FF8 and PS still looking like 20%+ final. I don't see why it doesn't do at least 27.5%(inc 7.5% XR) more than FF8 at this point for OD which equals $250m. Add in a stronger expected Saturday and $260m+ is the case. I'll still keep the floor at $230m in case something slips. If I were to enter a pick in a contest I would go with $263m. Matching PTA saturation. FF8 $250m TF4 $295m was beginning of summer, busier Friday AM and Sunday PM MH2 $320m was CNY. not happening. just pointing it out .

peludo Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I guess all of you are considering the drop of Yuan of recent days. To make $260m means, today, about 1.66b Yuan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a cup of POTUS and my nuts got a little bigger 134 mill by 1AM could be enough to make 200 mill PS possible and a 450-500 mill OD very likely. Saturday will no doubt be bigger but i think that sunday number will be the key to a possible OW WW record. Will the reviews be good enough? 8,9-9,1 on maoyan has to happen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 at $250 ow needs only 1.60x to make $400 total. saying 'only' cause the rating is high. even with huge numbers SMH like legs at least should happen. i was thinking that AIW and JWFK will battle it out in China as the biggest import this year but AIW seems untouchable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POTUS 2020 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Mendelson- LOL - "easily throw in $200m total. Throw in $95-155m OW". He likes throwing softballs not hard balls https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2018/05/06/avengers-infinity-war-plunges-145m-in-weekend-two-but-is-still-a-huge-hit/#79c4612725d6 While Infinity War clearly doesn’t need a huge China payout to be a monster hit, it might get one anyway. The world’s largest moviegoing marketplace could easily throw in another $200 million, as Age of Ultron earned $240m in China while Civil War nabbed $190m. Deadpool 2 isn’t currently slated there (and, being a bawdy, R-rated action comedy, it may never play in China) while Solo isn’t going to be a problem. As we’ve seen, China loves Star Wars about as much as we love The Monkey King. Speculation alert, but it is possible Avengers: Infinity War has a decent hold thanks to a lack of competition (and the fact that folks clearly like the movie) and ends up with around $535 million domestic and $810m overseas by next Sunday without China. Throw in a $95-$155m+ opening weekend from China, and Avengers: Infinity War could end its third weekend just over the $1.519 billion cume of The Avengers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
