Pressure is definitely on for Infinity War now. 

 

It really has to open over $200m at least. 

Not just commercially but critically. Coogler threw down the gauntlet. After Black Panther's rave reviews critics are going to be less forgiving to Infinity War coming so soon after. I have faith in the Russos but I'm expecting an Age of Ultron level rating with IW. There's so much to juggle and they have to introduce a new villain and his entourage. Something has to give lol. This high 80s-90s run has to end some time.

Anyways, I had a fun conversation with my mom about Black Panther in the car:

 

Me: "I really regret not getting IMAX tickets for the new Marvel movie this weekend."

Mom: "The black one?"

Me: "Yeah, Black Panther."

Mom: "Have you seen the people going to that? I haven't seen a single white person lined up on the news for it."

Me: ".......Uh, only 40% of the audience is black, mom."

Mom: "Only 40%? It doesn't look it! I don't get why the news is making such a big deal about this movie; yes, they're black, we get it!"

Me: "You need to realize that this is the first major movie with a mostly black cast that isn't a comedy, about crime, or white guilt."

I've been saying for two weeks now that Jumanji would increase this weekend. Did anyone listen?

 

At least you've learned not to expect big things for the latest JLaw movie. That's all that counts.

[Lordmandeep]

IW is more a global brand and will become the biggest comic book movie ever overseas.

 

I find it bit laughable that people think it has any chance of actually underperforming  when there is no indication it will apart from wishcasting.

[Webslinger]

Holiday weekend or not, the fact that Jumanji is looking at under a 20% drop against an opener as massive as Black Panther is insane.

[Brainbug]

The numbers for this movie are absolutely awesome!

 

Sadly, i didnt really like it all that much   and i usually enjoy the Marvel movies a lot

Wow this is stunning. Should clear 500M and push 600M. This and Wonder Woman will combine to make around 1 Billion Domestic amazing. Hopefully studios take notice

And near 2 Billion WW. Take that, Idiot Perlmutter and Alejandro "Superheroes are a white male power fantasy" Inarritu.

It is going to be frontloaded anyways; mother! can just slash It's legs further. 

 

[MCKillswitch123]

Batman V Superman had toxic wom and it had a 1.99x multi. IW going sub-2x multi would take super toxic wom to happen, and even then it's unlikely.

Even The Ancient One can always have a fuck-up here and there

[That One Girl]

Civil War had a 2.2x.   Infinity War will be even more frontloaded.  Doesn't seem unlikely to me

If BVS had opened in IW's spot, it wouldn't have had a sub-2x multi either. You're just being silly now.

That's not how the box office works.
