80% drop next weekend?

I don't think so. More like 60-65

It should hold ok through the rest of May. 

There is really nothing targeting older females until 'Be Before You'.

We had crazy low numbers initially, so all the THG fans melted down, then the numbers swung back the other way and rebounded for the weekend, so all the Nolanites freaked out when it looked like it would pass TDK's OW. Then there was a late Sunday adjustment and CF fell underneath TDK. Plus, for added bonus, you had #Ed melting down over Peyton's horrible performance on Sunday Night Football.

 

That one was legendary as well, especially when we got actuals.

 

The MJ1 takes the edge for me because of the "official numbers" which were wrong and everyone expecting a CF-like rebound of numbers through the day (and in their dreams as evidenced by your comments  )

[Thrylos 7]

At this rate CW will become as big of a bo joke as BvS . Pathetic .

The MJ2 thread was a letdown compared to the threads for THG, CF and MJ1.

Are you being sarcastic? Cause if not, then, oh yeah, absolutely, 178M OW is a joke. 5th biggest OW of all time is ajoke. TOTALLY. It truly will be a joke if it drops nearly or as hard as BVS did on 2nd weekend. Until that happens, there is no way you can call the 5th biggest OW of all time a joke. Yeah, I'm slightly disappointed at it going under 180M too, but what the hell. People exaggerate so easily.

MJ2 was just full on heartbreaking. 

[redfirebird2008]

I still haven't seen MJ2 and I enjoyed MJ1 in the theater.

MJ2's box office performance is one of the most epic falls ever 

[Ryan Reynolds]

so Cap3 is basically Iron Man 3 adjusted opening

I'd say that sounds about right.

Only problem with this thread is that BKB's thread was more fun to watch.

It makes you wonder if the MCU is relying on Iron Man more than we suspect.

[Cochofles]

Is this the first Marvel tentpole to decrease from estimates?

no, Iron Man 2 in 2010 which also opened over Mother's Day weekend

TA2 also sold more tickets I think.

RDJ heard that, so did his agent and banker

They'll put him in Thor and then everything else

Maybe he'll make a billion from 08 to 2025

Yeah that one came to mind as well. Good Stuff. Nolanites were coming out of the woodwork. Then the collective sigh of relief when CF didn't top it and they all disappeared back into the hole from whence they came. So funny.
