Would Disney fudge it to do 200M OW ?

 

With Jungle Book, they could I guess ...

It'll reach 200M without fudging, the question is will they fudge it over Avengers and JW?

[SWXII]

Possible a lot of WB's fandom stayed home opening weekend due to all the disrespect. I will see this on a weekday to avoid the crowds a bit. 

[The Futurist]

I would just be thrilled with a nice and sexy 200m+ week end.

 

Go Cap, Go 'Murica !

It's sort of funny because I've been here for the OW of a lot of these Marvel films and every single time, the numbers are always underwhelming and people are disappointed.  But the correlation between an MCU film's preview #s had never been super impressive nor have they shown an accurate correlation to their final weekend or even Friday numbers.

 

It's like we never learn.

Yeah this . I was actually expecting 20-22 million from previews . I don't get what makes people so pessimistic about an under 200 million ow , after we get the Saturday number the dust will clear . 

[VGPOP]

This movie will end at $194.5 million weekend. 100% accuracy for me.

There you go, outpaced BvS and Ultron in ticket sales and grossed less. 

 

Fantastic start. 

 

$88 million Friday for me. 

 

 

Well ticket sales were not all for Thursday night, lol.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Fantastic number, no way to spin it. 

How is this holding overseas?

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR earned $25M from Thursday night's domestic launch. #CaptainAmerica #CivilWar

Same here.   MCU movies have usually lower previews feeding off bigger opening weekends than their counterparts.  It's their signature.

[Lordmandeep]

Remember it it opens near age of ultron it will likely out gross it total

People were saying TFA 'records would be surpassed. This will be a stretch to do 200M now.

Just kidding hate spanish too back in school but loved loved English. I read ENglish everyday thx to this forum and some news on World of warcraft

 

If you need advice on french i m your man

[ecstasy]

Anything over IM3 is a win in my book. Don't care about other's expectations, lol. You won't convince me that $175m + is not an awesome opening weekend number for this movie.
