Anything over 600m dom for IW and I would be happy.

A movie like this deserves a box office of kings.

77M on Saturday seems very very very big ... 

TFA jumped +9.9% from its true Friday opening. This was in December.

 

Schools are still in session if I'm correct for Infinity. More people will go see this movie today than yesterday. A "healthy" +14% is reasonable from its true Friday (compared to TFA)

Couldn't even manage 106 what a joke.

WOM right now is extremely high. Based on Deadlines prediction of $245.6m on $106.7m opening day that means they’re basically thinking $75m Sat and $64m Sun, or something in there about.

Hold on a minute, the official is not $106.7 million?

 

It is now 106 million?

 

Now things change and getting record is not so strong now. Heck, we might see a close race now.

 

Oh man.

We always thought there’s a cap on Friday business since all previous OW record breakers hover around 62-63M. But then IW just disputed that by a comfortable amount.

 

Same with Saturday, everything always come close but never seems to break through 70M. Infinity War only need a 3% bump from true Friday to get over.

 

I do agree though that 77M seems a bit crazy. I’m thinking more 73-75M

Yep... 77M seems crazy .

I imagine it was the most popular back-up choice for those sold out from all Avengers showings even if most theaters have sent it to one of their smallest auditoriums by now (though everything that isn't Infinity War got pushed into small auditoriums this weekend).

It could happen considering it has the 3rd best PTA this weekend. Next week is also the last week they have to milk it because the digital release is on the 8th and the Blu on the 15th.

 

Worst case scenario is probably Civil War legs (575M). A 2.5x gets it to 625M, and a 2.8x gets it to 700M. Next weekend should help us out; anything less than the expected 58-60% drop would bode very well.

I wouldn’t say Civil War legs are the worst case scenario for this.  But a 240-245m OW definitely puts it in the 500m range barring a BvS collapse (which id say is unlikely)

 

Also off of a 245m OW (around the realistic upper range I’d say for the OW given Friday)

BvS legs leads to: 487m DOM

2.15x: 526m DOM

2.2x: 539m DOM

SM3 Legs lead to 545m DOM

DH2 legs lead to 552m DOM

CW Legs lead to 556m DOM

Iron Man 3 Legs lead to 575m DOM

DH1 Legs lead to 578m DOM

Ultron Legs lead to 588m DOM

GOTG2 lead to 652m DOM

TA legs leads to 735m DOM

Nah! It'll gross 4.6 million, and wind up back in the top five, though.

People needed to see Black Panther first to understand better the story for Infinity.

Does the fact that US schools were still in session Friday bodes well for the Saturday and Sunday numbers ?
