DOM.  The #2 HP DOM was $318m.  

It'll be a close match.

Shit just got real.

Who opens the 

 

Jungle Book over BvS Dom ?

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

RTH's high end could allow JB to touch 110m, though that would require a very small Sunday drop.

I thought that was pretty much a given after last night. There's no way this won't have amazing legs.

So if this opens above 100 (like I think it will now), will this affect Civil Wars opening in anyway from families who go to this instead of another super hero movie?

This doesn't have a ton of competition for families besides Civil War and Angry Birds all the way until the end of May.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Disney is unstoppable, time for John Carter 2 !

[Finnick]

IT IS OVER 100M FOR SURE, DISNEY POWER HOUSE STRUCK AGAIN!!!

This will have zero effect on Civil War. Families aren't picking between Jungle Book or Civil War. 

[Cynosure]

The power of good reviews and good early WOM.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too especially with the combination of Iron Man, Captain America, & Spider Man...but didn't Furious 7 have some effect on AOU when it broke out too? That was also unexpected and I thought it did.

But this is a different story then AOU because I think the reviews will be much much stronger.

Yes, but I'm guessing Civil War will drag down Jungle Book.

Lol, I have a 90/335 prediction somewhere so yeah, it was happening even before the Friday numbers was revealed.

This is playing so huge that the Sunday drop should be small.

Maybe for the first week but I think they can exist together.

If you look at the May schedule, neither face a lot until the end of the month.

Come to think of it, if Zootopia has crazy legs, Disney could have a weekend where Civil War, Jungle Book and Zootopia are all in the top 5.

I know they're all going to be in the top 10 at least.

[wildphantom]

annoyed I didn't do the Derby this weekend as I've been saying this would do $100 million OW for months. That'll teach me. 

 

I'm seeing the film tomorrow but all I'm hearing is people going nuts for it. This one is sailing past BvS imo.  Two clear weekends ahead for it before Civil War arrives.
