I personally think TFA is going down.  Previews are just too strong.

 

After than, I really have no idea.  Just along for the ride.

I still remember last year after IW got 39 million in previews and we thought TFA weekend record was safe.

Thing is Previews look to be going that high, but I wanna still balance 307.

I like that you used the "nice" Walter instead of:

 

 

And, fyi, that Nathan Fillon gif is just so perfect.  It captures like everyone emotion.

I'm... I'm not even going to check to see if you're kidding or not. 

 

(You did a search on the boards for the image, didn't you)

((Just means I have to start using different sources of that gif now ))

Originally I was just going to say, "*pause* ... You know what?  Fair."  Because, like, it IS fair.

 

Then I decided to make it a two-act play instead.

Whats the significance of 307?

[XO21]

According to Deadline sources, before Avengers: Endgame even flickers one image on a movie screen ahead of its Thursday night previews nationwide, advance domestic ticket sales for the Russo Brothers-directed Marvel sequel are estimated to be north of $120M with some figuring they’re as high as $140M. These figures do not come from Disney.

257 (IW OW) + 50, presumably.

 

Took me a while to figure it out myself.

I just have the memory of an elephant  

 

(I google searched the image by site, March 5th was the only one that turned up, but I remember you've used it much in the past. Perhaps I should start recording them)

Ok, I didn't think it would already be at 120-140 million. I thought that would be the final numbers. That's ridiculous to be that high even before release week presales.
