It did half of Ultron's 5 day OW here in one single day. Beast.

lame. shoulda beat Ultron's total in 1 day 

[JohnnyGossamer]

I honestly do believe the NFL draft deflated numbers ever so slightly. I'd say $1M to $3M. I think the floor is $225M+ OW DOM.

I stuck with 239m as my prediction, to the bitter end. At least I didn't let the hype consume me though, and put in 300m in the derby, unlike some certain users.

I was the only one with big enough balls to predict 300M there.

[eXtacy]

I was interested to see how this was comparing to Ultrons early reception

I think there’s potential for A4, TLK or IX to break the OW record next year (maybe not the Adjusted one, but I think ticket price inflation will put it in play).  I think this year was a bit too early.

 

That being said we do only have a preview number and there’s always the potential the weekend goes crazy and we get a 260m OW or something.  But I’m think 215-255m or so is the likely range

I see:

A4: $235M OW

TLK: $275M OW

IX: $240M OW

100.000 tickets sold in one day would have been something lmao. It never happened here.

And now it looks like it's going to completely screw your derby.

2019 is fucking bonkers. Could be the greatest year ever for us box office nerds.

[Dandeak2000]

Avengers: Infinity War including US Thursday Previews is at $134M Worldwide before the weekend fully begins!

Nah, I should be fine. The OW record gets me 80%.

[Lordmandeep]

I think the overseas results for IW clearly shows Civil War was not seen as an Avengers movie.

Not trying to burst your bubble but no one really watches the NFL Draft the way they used to. Especially when you can get an update for every single pick. I say this as someone who is a huge NFL Fan. I didn't watch the draft yesterday and I didn't watch IW either.

[MonstersandRoy]

The most anticipated Marvel film ever, and still nearly $20 below TFA's previews. TFA truly was a monster of epic proportions. I thought Infinity Wars would be the first film to have a real shot at getting close to those preview numbers. If Infinity War can't, it's hard to see another film getting near that $57m number.

Episode IX

$ 235M is totally possible

[$ 225M is more realistic, but i think this will be a bit backloaded this weekend]

 

$ 102M friday

$ 74M saturday

$ 59M sunday

 

 

[Empire]

39M is a great previews number. I predicted 40, so right around what I thought.

Around 30mm people watched last night. 4mm people went to Avengers.
