FLOP

[VGPOP]

$39 million?

 

Fantastic number. But not "massive"

[Cynosure]

TFA is safe.

Not a re ...

Nice 39m is 4m higher than my expectation (35m)... after all the 40m talk though to be so close is a little sad...

 

But seriously - 39m is like OMG territory

[Rebeccas]

$95m OS so far

Flop!

 

Nah, for MCU that's a huge uptick in sales for preview screenings. Impressive. Just short of $40M. Guess the left coast did pull through as much as we'd hoped for it to approach $45M.

If it follows Civil War:

 

118.2M Friday

95.9M Saturday

66.5M Sunday

280.6M Weekend

300M is dead boys. Bury it.

TA was 11.1x the previews. AOU did 6.9x.

I doubt if AIW can do 6x+. IMO it will be ~5.5x which with 40-45 previews gives 220-250 ow.

 

EDIT:

39 gives 215. if 5.5x+ sounds a bit low. 5.75x+ probably for 224+. but don't think it will do 6x+.

Range hasn't "gone up", it's just shrunk down to where the low end ain't likely to happen now. Still, whatever ends up being it is a HUUUUUGE number, all things considered. And if it makes 45, OW record is likely to go down, as superhero movies (especially Marvel ones) tend to have much more backloaded IM's than Star Wars movies have had so far (but then again, no superhero movie has ever had as much as 40M on previews alone, so this is uncharted territory).

 

Some internal multipliers from other Infinity War potential comparables for a 40M Thursday:

 

AGE OF ULTRON MULTI - 40 + 82.5 real Fri (106.2% increase) + 82.1 Sat (33% drop from 122.5 OD) + 73.1 Sun (11% drop) = 277.7

BATMAN V SUPERMAN MULTI - 40 + 77.8 real Fri (94.6% increase) + 73.2 Sat (37.9% drop from 117.8 OD) + 48.8 Sun (33.3% drop) = 239.8

CIVIL WAR MULTI - 40 + 80.8 real Fri (102% increase) + 98 Sat (18.9% drop from 120.8 OD) + 67.9 Sun (30.7% drop) = 286.7

DARK KNIGHT RISES MULTI - 40 + 59 real Fri (47.7% increase) + 58.8 Sat (40.7% drop from 99.1 OD) + 52.9 Sun (10.1% drop) = 210.7

 

A TDKR multi sounds awfully pessimistic, and unrealistic given that the Aurora tragedy haunted that movie badly on OW, but that is the only superhero film that opened over 30 on Thursdays, so I had to use it. And even on that scenario - a damn near worst case scenario - IW still winds up as the #1 superhero film opening and #3 opening of all time

 

Safe to say that the Ultron and Civil War multis are also preposterous, though (and I didn't use Black Panther as that wasn't a sequel btw), so imo the BVS multi is probably the closer to what reality will look like. And I still find it a bit of a lowball, as I think IW will have a softer Saturday drop than nearly 40% (remember, BVS came in with really poor wom out of a 80+ holiday Friday).

This is looking pretty spot on now!

John Campea the other day went fucking HAM on Forbes for their spoiler post on IW, screaming and acting like a child crying because someone took their favorite toy away (That being said, he has a point: the Forbes post really had no reason to exist apart from CLICKZ.)

already out of likes but LMAO I watched that video and almost laughed out loud at how pissed the dude was

Kind of hard for something to be dead that was never alive to begin with....

[Brainbug]

Deadline is like a hot girl, that promises you these sexy 45M melons, but then you realize they are just big enough for 39M. Its like you cant be really disappointed, they are still massive, but its just...weve been promised MORE

[Biggestgeekever]

I'll admit I'm disappointed this couldn't hit $40M, and it puts the OD record out of reach. But I think the OW record could still happen, it'll certainly be exciting to see how today goes though.
