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

The Lion King probably has a real shot. The original run (without re-release) adjusts to $700 million in 2019.

Please don't mention Avatar;You Know Who will show up.

 

I am  convinced that the Avatar killer will be a film that no one will give a chance of doing it.

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

 

They aren't the reason it's doing this kind of business. Feige is the one who should be getting the huge rewards from Disney.

To be fair guys, ethan was right there is no hype. If there was it would of easily done 300m+

You're welcome for the early number before any other site or poster, Box Office Theory.  

 

Pretty good for such a nobody loser that brings no value to the site.  

Don't worry, bro. Some of us have your back.

 

We all know what the ingrates look like every major OW on Friday morning.

That fight did not kill Age of Ultron, decent but not really good word of mouth did. If people loved Age of Ultron it would have rebounded opening weekend and would have had slightly longer legs. I wish people would stop ignoring the obvious and using that fight.

Has @Telemachos changed his name to InfiniTele yet?

Aw c'mon.

 

If the movie sucked Saturday would've dropped like a rock.

The opening weekend record has been broken four times in the 2010s. It was broken four times in the 2000s. It was broken twice in the 1990s. Twice in the 1980s. 

 

How many times in the 70s? We really don’t have enough data to know for sure, do we?

He is. I am sure he gets a share of the profits.

His current contract is up in a year; you can bet he will get a massive payday for resigning with Dinsey. Other studios will make him offers but Disney will pay whatever it takes to keep him.

The lions share for the entire MCU goes to Feige but they did their job and then some. 

 

Marcus & McFeely though are the ones that go really overlooked by fans and the media though I doubt by Feige.

Oh I agree but I remember all the excuses after it started so high in estimates on Friday night from all the trades and then fell and then failed to rebound that Saturday. Especially from BKB. 

Some were predicting ridiculous Sunday numbers.

A monkey could've directed this and it would still be pulling in these kinds of numbers.

I don't know who you're talking about but I'm beginning to think Avatar will remain number 1 forever and I'm talking WW

Hoping for crazy Sunday hold, big enough to get it over 250M.

 

Would be incredible to have The Avengers, one that established Marvel’s BO power, the first movie ever to break 200M OW followed by Infinity War, one that marked 10th year anniversary, first movie to break through 250M barrier.

First of all, Feige is a very involved producer. He has had a massive influence on all of the MCU films including the newest one. Second of all, I can point to a boatload of movies that were terrible and kicked ass on opening weekend.

He's worth it.

 

No studio has launched a moderately successful cinematic universe yet.

 

Marvel is breaking records after 10 years on top.

 

(don't bring up DC, please)

I used to lurk at that time and I hated all of the excuses. Sure the film was always going to be frontloaded (just like IW will be) but the word of mouth was noticeably not up to par with Marvel sequels like Winter Solider and GOTG2.
