Lololol I feel dumb fro raising my OW predict from 170m to 185m for the summer game now.

!!! I can't believe I fell for the hype. I was going to put 175 million before I decided to browse through what other people were putting. I ended up putting 200 million. Thank goodness I wanted my week zero points though because if I could have edited I would have moved it up even higher.

Lol at my 500m DOM predict that I bumped up from 410m DOM

Don't you mean 9 years? Spidey 3 was the first film to break the $150m barrier over 3 days. 

I meant as in the first time people will actually leave a Spidey movie excited to see the next one.

I beg you @Rth, save us from this madness with holy numbers!

I'm just praying now Finding Dory is the beast I thought it'd be when I made my list and hits 550m DOM

This is a great #! My prediction was always 174M. 

Just looked and I upped it to 176M for the Summer Game.

slightly disappointing considering the cinematic debuts of Spider-Man and Black Panther in the MCU

 

Black Panther is an unknown character to most of the general public. I don't think his appearance would have added much to the opening weekend gross regardless.

Bonus. I bought Maltesers at Woolworths for half price. $2.10 when they're about $6 at the theatre. 

 

It's day 10 of release here and this Saturday afternoon large format session is 90% full. 

 

Bad Neighbours 2 has no large format screens here. It's all Civil War.

RTH will deliver the knockout blow with $71-$73 million Friday and Gitesh being right with his sources. 

[Gokai Red]

Really mad at myself for upping my prediction from 180/450 to 200/500...

77 is what the number is, not 73.. How can anyone trust DEADLINE over Rth??

To be fair rths numbers were from hours ago. Looking like mid 70s unless it gets a west coast bump today.

Just imagine you were a casual box office follower. Another words not a fanatical Looney like the way we are at this site. You go look up The Winter Soldier's box office and see that it open to 95 million and grossed 240 or whatever it did. Then you look and see that this film is going to open to about 165 million dollars. You would think to yourself holy crap that is a huge increase compared to the last one. This is why when people tell you that you're conservative predictions are stupid and ridiculous and way off that they need to check themselves as well.

I mean, this is probably what's going to happen to Star Wars in 5-10 years too.. Kinda inevitable when you start releasing a lot of movies. 

[Deep Wang]

I'm totally happy with this number.  I was always thinking about $180, so I wasn't too far off.

[a2k]

Rth didn't say 77, he said 74-77.

At the very least it is going to be in the top 6 OW of all time and people are bitching.

But this isn't really a sequel to just WS...as many of us have stated already, it's really Avengers 2.5 or 3.  But it's a massive OW and only seems less such because many got nuts with their $200m+ predictions, etc.

[WrathOfHan]

Trailers I got:

 

X-Men

TMNT

Rogue One

Doctor Strange

 

X-Men had the best reaction, the other three were pretty muted.
