What about the first Avengers? Or The Last Jedi?

 

Avengers acted as a non-sequel, don't think that's a great comp either.  I'm also pretty sure that some schools were out when Last Jedi came out (correct me if I'm wrong)

[JohnnyGossamer]

I recall Guardians Vol 2 had an impressive Sunday drop.

You'd think everyone would remember.... CW and or Guardians 2 are the real only good ones to look at.

As @Biggestgeekever suspected, CW Sunday was indeed Mother’s Day. Are GotG2, IM3, and TA1 the only recentish ones without a special circumstance then?

I think it was like 30-something % 

[EmpireCity]

It's early, but like I said this morning, people are going to be shocked at the number.  

 

Given that it kept going higher into the night yesterday I think it might hit $82m after everything is settled.  

 

Again, it is very early and that could change and I am being a bit more aggressive than others.

The way this is running Avengers 18% drop is probably the best comparison.  These numbers are so big & there are so many sellouts they're going to have spill over

 

Also, if CW and GOTG2 were the best comparisons the Saturday jump would put this easily in the low 80s or push 90

Wait what?

 

I need some Rth confirmation on this. This is absolutely shocking if true. I have no words. It would SMASH the Saturday record.

Spidey 3 was a sequel with same release date and dropped 22% on Sunday.

Ok but this is also an event and record breaker. So it checks some boxes

Yes, but just as with the previews (being under 40m) you cannot just expect film "B" to play like film "A"

[Sam]

82M is just an outright ridiculous number. And considering the momentum that IW is on so far not just Dom but OS as well, that number might just be true lol

Good thing Infinity War is a first-of-its-kind event record breaker then, wouldn’t you say?
