Please don't let this be a start of the "is Civil War an Avengers movie" debate.

That includes midnights.

I think since it was "true" midnights, and they actually took place on Friday, it's acceptable to argue that DH2 has the record. 

 

It's difficult since showings at like 1am Sunday morning will get counted towards Saturday not Sunday. It's a twisted system in a way

No need for more lists. Thats the right one^^

We actually have the crappy DBZ live action movie to thank for Akira Toriyama deciding to make the DBZ Super anime.

So that BAD movie happening was a good thing.

[The Stingray]

Oh well, congrats to Marvel, I guess. I'm not a fan of their movies, but what Feige has been able to accomplish over the past 10 years is unprecedented and absolutely remarkable. We're living in a time where Avengers breaks the OW twice and a third-tier comic book character like Black Panther does 700 fucking million in NA alone. Come on, son

Absolutely remarkable Saturday number for IW. Wouldn't be shocking to see its Sunday come close to 70 million either.

They didn't stop counting Friday receipts at midnight so it would be more than 24 hours.

A superhero's first movie will always be more meaningful than another teamup movie.

BP and WW were historic moments, especially for their fans.

IW is far more historic than WW and BP combined 

 

Better film too

And no Black Panther is not a more important movie its a racist movie disguised as an important movie. 

Is this poster serious? Or are they just confused, deplorable and desperate for attention in a thread that should be celebrating IW's historic OW?

 

I can't quite tell.

Marvel are in the history books now. This franchise will go down as the best and most impressive franchise every put to film. Sorry star wars, potter, LOTR, your time is up

Yes, but it is unlikely that DH2 made more than $10m after Friday midnight. 

 

As I said in the second part of the post, it's a twisted system with all the previews and 6am-6am receipts rather than midnight to midnight like everything else

[VGPOP]

Disney will probably release a comfortable $252 million weekend. Actuals will be $256-$257 million.

It's not feasible or logical to say that Deathly Hallows Part 2 has the record. Thursday previews just replaced midnights and we all know that if the midnites were still on films like Star Wars and the Avengers would have massive Midnight's instead of massive Thursday previews.

Technically, can Civil War really be an Avengers movie with no Hulk or Thor?

Today, Infinity War scored the record for the best Saturday ever with $80.9M, which is 16% ahead of the previous Saturday record owned by Universal’s Jurassic World ($69.6M, June 13, 2015). Today marked a wonderful -25% ease from Friday’s $106.7M (including $39M Thursday previews). Back those previews out of Friday ($67.7M) and today was +19% over yesterday for the Disney-Marvel title.

If that holds, I'll be really close with my 81 prediction after estimates came in both times earlier.

[fabiopazzo2]

300M is completely out of reach in this moment...

How is it not? It spends a lot of the time calling white people colonists and literally ignoring white characters for actions that happened hundreds of years ago whilst audiences are like 'omg such an important movie'

 

NO

 

if i made a film called white knight and had scenes where the heroes ignored black guys for lets say being a big factor as to why homicide is so high in USA it wouldnt sit too well. 

 

Black Panther is a good movie but lets not act like it was a really important movie and not a little racist, dont be blind.

So the only way Infinity Wars misses the opening weekend record is if it drops buy more than 28% on Sunday. I feel pretty confident in saying the opening weekend record is toast.
