The doom and gloom is why I stay off of these boards until the numbers come in. I hope it hits 83mil but the lower end is fine as well.

There's going to be more Avengers films tho right? I can't imagine that they would let that franchise go.

 

Plus it's become a huge part of the marvel formula. You have a few solo movies and then an Avengers movie....a few solo movies and then an Avengers movie.....etc.

 

What would they did if Avengers 4 really is the last one?

It's definitely not the last one. But it will be the end of Phase one. And I could easily see it doing these same types of numbers if it's as well received.

I wonder who Marvel would have picked to direct Infinity War had the Russo Brothers declined. 

Alan Taylor or Louis Leterrier

I’d blame Tele for all of it.

No the end of phase one was the first Avengers movie. Gawd it's like you don't know Marvel anything.

So I think either Taika or Coogler are going to be the new Marvel go to directors after the Russo Brothers leave. What do you guys think?

But yep, the opening record is looking pretty much gone. Now it'll be interesting to see if the movie next year can top it since it'll have a true "end of an era" marketing angle going for it.

It’s actually a matter of what Disney owned property does the trick.  And they have three real threats next year

*Certain phase one characters. The end of their journey. I know this was probably a joke but just correcting it.

Yup. This.

[Morieris]

I can see Coogler consulting at points but only directing the BP line.

Coogler I could see.

[Box Office Freak]

Also if either this or Avengers 4 can't beat Avatar at the Box Office, what can?  

[dudalb]

The Russo Brothers could probably get just about any project they wanted greenlt after this weekend.

I wonder how much bigger IW be if they never released that disappointing Age of Ultron.

 

Why would you say that AoU from 3 years ago would have any discernible impact on what IW does today?

BKB probably hated that fight more than anyone in the US. I remember all the "just wait until it rebounds on Sunday! 225M still happening!"

Why are you still trying to understand his utterly baffling "hot takes"?

BKB is having a seizure somewhere at the mere mention of this fucking fight. 

 

Ugh fuck that guy like UGH.

Coogler has the most potential, though I'd like to, and could see Taika making another Marvel film.
