Its interesting to note this is having WAY better reception overseas than Black Panther and Civil War.

What do you mean? That is what I expected to happen. People have been waiting for this.

[The Mad Titan]

Just left my 2nd viewing. Theater was absolutely packed. Couldn't even park in its parking lot, had to park across the street and walk over. 

Come on $70 million true Friday!

Given the scale compared to the other two, it isn't that surprising.

This weekend is getting better and better!

 

I still think OW record is in play.

Most probably with that the enormous preview # - still there are degrees within that percentage and there are weekdays and there is that third w/e.

Even with the third weekend, it’ll drop around 45%-50%. And April-May weekdays although strong aren’t summer strong.

[cookieleeann]

Yes Infinity War keep going up.

[picores]

Well, well...This is what IW would do following other Marvel's May openers multiplier. I'm using 105m Friday:

 

Avengers. Age of Ultron: 237.8m OW

Captain America. Civil War: 249.1m OW

Iron Man 3: 265.5m OW

 

OW record is very well in play. Cant see a lower internal multiplier than Age of Ultron or Civil War given the great buzz around  this time and the huge spillover  throughout the weekend. Huge midnights on the other side can be an issue to catch the record. 250m is happening imo.

 

[baumer]

I don't think the OW record is in play.  With a huge Friday, expect the Saturday to be a little muted...not much but instead of jumping 20%, I think it'll be more like 12%.

[The Mad Titan]

Deadline is saying $103 million today and pacing for a $237 million weekend. @baumer (didn't know if a mod or someone would want to see this)

The difference is these films didn't blow off 105 million in demand in the first day.

[eXtacy]

From IMDB.

 

Worst score discrepancies in Marvel (US vs Overseas). Typically an average hollywood film will be -0.2/0.3

 

Inf. War 9.1/9.0 (-0.1)

Dr Str. 7.5/7.4 (-0.1)

IronMan3 7.2/7.1 (-0.1)

IronMan2 7.0/6.9 (-0.1)

 

Guardians2 7.8/7.6 (-0.2)

Ant Man 7.2/7.0 (-0.2)

Thor 2 7.1/6.9 (-0.2)

 

Thor 3 8.1/7.8 (-0.3)

Ultron 7.5/7.2 (-0.3)

Thor 7.2/6.9 (-0.3)

Hulk 7.0/6.7 (-0.3)

 

Avengers 8.3/7.9 (-0.4)

Guardians 8.3/7.9 (-0.4)

Iron Man 8.1/7.7 (-0.4) 

Spider H. 7.7/7.3 (-0.4)

 

Black Panther 8.0/7.5 (-0.5)
Cap Ami 7.2/6.7 (-0.5)

 

Winter Sol 8.1/7.5 (-0.6)

Civil War 8.1/7.5 (-0.6)

 

Captain America franchise is the worst offender. Black Panther is also pretty bad. Huge surprise is Doctor Strange well and truly on top. The Thor franchise also fairs pretty well.

Anecdotal evidence being anecdotal my theater sold out of almost every Saturday showing by the time I left at 8, all that was left was 5, 6:15, 6:40,9 and 10. As well as the 3D showings at 12:45 and 9:40

Oh i see. Given that even Civil War's mulitplier gives the OW record....it's nuts to think the certain bigger spillover over the weekend can allow it to match it. Right?

Boom, Deadline officially has BP in the top 5. Rampage is out of reach, but I think it can come in above 4M at least.

I think you are being sarcastic, and that's fine.  But you are correct.  I don't think there will be enough there to get the record. If you look at TFA, it did such huge business on Friday that it "only increased" by about 9% on Saturday.  

[Joyous Legion]

Okay, new prediction for the weekend. IW is below TFA’s OW — but the MCU movies combined are above it
