Deadpool took the genre 5 steps forward then BvS took it 10 steps back.

 

Take out the pervy sex jokes, and the more extreme violence, Deadpool is a refreshing take on the genre.

I'm more than aiming for the Super Epic Saturday and Sunday for that matter.. I'm sticking by this and not budging 1 bit..

 

You can certainly can fight all day.

BKB, give it up. The only chance your club has (if it ever had one to begin with) is if CW does, like, 100M on Saturday. Just be a man and take the Goddamn loss already, will ya?

An Avengers movie opening this high would be good for me considering the meh response to AoU. So there is no need to be disappointed with this number.

 

 

Well if this increases like IM3 Saturday we could be looking to near 60 million Saturday.

 

I have doubts about that but we shall see.

He will never do that. He has lost it  He is predicting this to absolutely destroy Star Wars in Saturday and Sunday lol.

 

It is still gonna do 180M+ OW so whatever. 

[Lordmandeep]

Well Atleast China is headed towards a 90+ million opening weekend lol 

[MCKillswitch123]

For those who care, Grace Randolph tweeted out that neither Marvel fatigue or The Jungle Book are to blame for this 'low' opening - the embargo lift a month in advance + international release 1st are, which are leading to less of a rush factor for audiences since, given it's good, they can watch it later down the line.

Now, I can't wait to see the look on the people's faces that are predicting over $300m for Suicide Squad...

Don't know why you included me since this is opening in live with my OW prediction. My final total was always based on it having great legs. 

[Lordmandeep]

Well as of now Flixter went up from initial

 

at 91% and 4.5/5

 

and imdb has stayed steady at 8.5 for a few days now

 

 

So WOM is good so far.

So much for Spidey and BP boosting the grosses.

[Clef Ment]

Huge saturday / sunday incoming.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

I still see 170m as the low end for OW. That's totally fine, even if it's far less than I thought going into the weekend. A month ago, there were many that doubted it would get around IM3 OW/DOM total. At the very least, it should get there.

So where did Spider-Man's appeal go? He can no longer get asses in the seats.

Total bullshit since opening an MCU film 2 weeks ahead of time from US has yet to hurt them.

I'm wondering how big of an effect Cinqo de Mayo was this year.  It may have kept previews from maxing out in the South, at least.  Not sure if that would suppress the Friday gross at all, though.

Second reboot in less than 10 years since SM3 didn't really help. Not to mention his appeal probably went down the Avi Arad shitter known as:

 

 

That's as close to an explanation as I can give you.

Basically, it's her way to say that Marvel should just go for day-and-date global releases already, as it avoids a smaller rush factor and another factor she pointed out, which is piracy. Not that bad of a pair of points, tbh here. Though it is questionable that she called it a 'low opening', yet sung BVS all the praises for the smaller 166M opening. Well, more so the global 400M+ opening, but still. Let's just not go there, both movies did good on their OW's (great, even).

Probably had the same effect as Flag Day.

So this opens 70% higher than Winter Soldier and you are assuming that Spiderman didn't bring people in?
