Weekend Thread | RTH pg 197...Mother's Day not kind to CW but very kind to JB and MD CW 42, JB 9,7, MDD 6.1,Hunts 1.48...puts CW at about 178M

[The Futurist]

Range looks like 180-190m.

[Heat Vision]

Not surprised BvS beat it in previews considering it had Good Friday. People left work early on Thursday and had Friday off. Civil War will hold much better Saturday and Sunday. I still say 190 million is the minimum.

NOON UPDATE: Captain America: Civil War‘s matinees are currently tracking 10% to 13% behind Avengers: Age of Ultron putting the Disney Marvel title on track for a $75M-$80M Friday and a projected weekend at this point of $178M-$188M. While that’s under Ultron‘s $191.27M , man, that’s really not something to cry about. Should Civil War hook that opening, it will make it the fifth highest domestic opening of all-time ahead of Iron Man 3‘s $174M.

Extremely disappointing if this happens . Will wait for updated numbers .

Can't with for that Suicide Squad movie.

 

Suicide is so fun.

 

Don't know why but I laughed hard at this.

I just wanna say that I feel a little schadenfreude that Captain America 3's reception on Rotten Tomatoes, while great, is just a little less positive than it was for a different Disney movie released in March.

What's extremely disappointing is these type of reactions to a $180m+ open (not to mention the massive OS haul).

3 hours until my showtime. I feel sorry for anyone who has to PAY to see this movie. It going to be nice to get paid to see this movie. 

 

Don't feel sorry for me. I paid to see it and I'm very happy I did. You should save your sympathies for other movies.

Sunday is Mother's Day right?  Isn't that going to effect it's performance on Sunday?  It doesn't seem like the type of movie you can convince your mom to go to.

Apple & oranges canna, you can take all the pleasure you want but not exactly the same type of films.

[75Live]

I think deadines number will be low after all is said and done.  I am thinking closer to $200 is still possible but not much more or less than that.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Still really early. Even if it "only" gets 175m, thats a massive number and 400m DOM would be guaranteed.

They're both blockbusters. Close enough.

[Krissykins]

Ah so now it's a Captain America movie.

 

Thought that would happen.

 

Same when a Scottish tennis player loses Wimbledon, he's Scottish. But if he wins, he's British. 

[Heat Vision]

I think it will end between 192-196 million

Yep, only the 5th highest grossing weekend of all time. Oh no, what a travesty.  I can't wait for people to be disappointed if Episode VIII only opens up to like $225 million next year.

[Bonenash]

still very early ......

 

Super early estimates is bullshit.

 

Only in our GOD RTH we trust.

 

When he will tell some numbers we ll have a more valuable idea. Not mentioned will his first estimate so don't panic
