Who called 200M for Black Panther?  Who called 100M for IT?  Who called 50M for A Quiet Place?  Who called 228M for Infinity War?

Just for funsies:

 

225 OW x 2.4 multi = 540m DOM.

 

...

 

If that happens, there's gonna be so much salt flowing in @Cmasterclay's BP > IW DOM thread that folks are gonna need to take high blood pressure medicine after reading it.

Feeling really confident in my prediction of 235 mill for OW. Will probably do about 100-102 for Friday and about 70 for Saturday.

Wonder how AIW will affect Samson. Hopefully it held on to most of it's 6 theaters.

Hey, I admit I am delaying seeing IW until Saturday because of a draft party....

Stop being an ass, people do predict way over or under, it happens.

BP was a black swan event. If Variety is 95-100 and DHD is 95-105, it’s probable that the numbers are around there. 

Don't forget THR is also reporting those numbers so it's comical that people are just calling out Deadline.

How on target were Deadline's early projections for Cap 3 and Ultron, anyway?  They spectacularly undersold Black Panther consistently, but that could just be them not accounting for the zeitgeist correctly.

 

Basically, how likely is it Deadline is really underestimating IW here and it could rise as numbers come in.

Just to mention, this time on TFA's weekend, Deadline failed spectacularly!

Friday, 4:36 PM: Late-afternoon estimates now put the J.J. Abrams-directed force of nature at around $125M-$130M, on track for a $250M-$260M weekend.

BP beating AIW dom by 150+ is likely  (>690 vs 540 ... and 540 won't be easy for AIW. Needs 225-230*2.35-2.4)

If I were to purchase Gold Club status for another year this weekend, would it be tacked on to the end of my current membership or would it overwrite it and be a year's worth of gold from this point on?

 

Not entirely a hypothetical question, as it were.

He never said $300m was in play like it was going to get it.  He was stating that it is possible to get with the amount of theaters and screens available right now.

He mentioned that the club wasn’t as crazy as some people made it out to be, mixed with saying he thought 248m+ was close to locked.

I think it’s fair to say we all have good calls and bad calls.  You’ve had some good calls lately, and each of those was fairly well in advance.

 

Those three breakouts I saw too, you just hit the nail more on the head with BP and AQP

Lighten up a little.  It's all in good fun.  I'm sure the people I quoted can handle being wrong about something.

 

I just think it's funny how absolutely certain some people were about how high this would go, and how they ended up not being right in the end.  If my $228M prediction was wildly off after I've been adamant on it happening for months, then it'd be completely fair game for them to quote the posts where I said that.

225 mil ow is perfectly fine for this movie, and no AIW isn’t going to miss 600 mil domestic. Just stop.

Did I ever officially join that club?  I’ve definitely been in since BP’s release and entertained the idea pre-release BP
