I think after three weeks IW will have made enough money to coast by movies like DP2 and Solo. Those two will eat each other while IW just keeps chugging along.

[Rman823]

At this point anything AM&TW makes is chump change for Marvel. 

[Legion Again]

If it is 25, I think that beats the previous schoolday Monday record by a lot. Specifically, I think by 32%  

[cookieleeann]

25 is great.

Pretty decent, that's what the 7th best Monday hold in the MCU? Behind BP, Thor:TDW, GotG, SM:H, TIH and CA:TFA.

It's an amazing hold considering there was no holiday or summer weekday to soften the drop like all those others.

And those are all Holiday or Summer Mondays

Pretty sure there are no schools out nationwide. Even college/university are still mostly in session.

 

IIRC Deadline said it was something tiny like 3%.

Rth also liked my post with 25M.

 

Time to make a new daily thread and put this one to rest, @aabattery

I maybe missing something but why are no new films being released this weekend coming?

Because IW changed its release date very late in the game and nobody responded because 1.) they don’t want anything to do with IWs weekend 2 and 2.) it was too late to change.

Yup, although I missed ant-man so it's actually 8th.

Holiday, Absolute juggernaut, Summer, Summer, Summer, Summer. So I think this is actually on top of the list of most impressive Monday holds sans BP

 

Dunno if I'd call TDW an absolute juggernaut but I guess you could make the case

[eXtacy]

If it follows Black Panther we get 138m 2nd weekend. If it follows Civil war it also end up with a close 136m. And if Ultron it gets to 147m

[Caladbolg]

$25m is incredible.

Many of those are during Christmas or Summer.

There are three new films this weekend, but none are particularly big (1,200-1,800 theaters).

This locks 650m and would suggest the potential to 800m depending on how Deadpool/Solo affects

BP is gone as number one domestic I would say. $800M will be a real challenge.

that's really cheeky

[XO21]

Just for reference Ultron dropped -74%..

 

...over 2.4 multi confirmed 

[Ledmonkey96]

If it increases at all it should have a Tuesday over Jurassic World.... hell Monday could be over JW.

AM&tW is critical for getting the 2018 MCU:   

A) one full Avengers1 over the 2017 MCU, WW   

 

B ) a domestic total above JW’s WW   

 

And potentially c) domestically above non-MCU Disney for the year and maybe every other studio
