Avengers is trending to hit 90% on movie tickets today, the only other time it did that was on Friday morning. Today is definitely looking to be $22-23M, IMO, which would continue to keep it above the adjusted numbers of the first film.

Personally I think Terrence Howard was the best thanos.

As Ike said, they all look the same.

11th: 20th place

Lol, chart must not have been updated with actuals when I checked. I’ll fix that.   

 

Also, 20th place for 12th weekend would be 3.95-4.06 — definitely enough to think about beating Rampage.

I can't believe how badly Disney is fudging Wrinkle to 100m.

Wrinkle is still a massive flop, ESPECIALLY overseas.

if it follows TA1

 

monday - 22.8m

tuesday - 21.3m

Wednesday - 16.4m

Thursday - 14.9m

Friday - 35.1m

Saturday - 51.5m

Sunday - 37.8m

 

124.4m 2nd weekend

Looks pretty reasonable to me. This would be 196.8 after the OW for a 454.5 10-day gross.

Any reason why you're not using Guardians 2?

Not really. Just used the other MCU three-quels and TA2. But yeah GOTG2's 2.66x can be added. Gives 685m. Personally think it won't be achievable as GOTG2's 2.66x was itself a drop from GOTG1's 3.53x but have been wrong on everything AIW so far

[Mojoguy]

Remember how SONY fudged Spectre to 200M?

[Sal]

I don't think Disney cares enough to fudge Wrinkle to 100m.  I mean really, why should they care?

IW narrowly missed the record for market share on opening weekend. AGE OF ULTRON still holds the record, its $191,271,109 accounting for 84.5% of the market. The $257,698,183 for INFINITY WAR accounted for 84.3% of the market this weekend.

 

Good holds by A QUIET PLACE, I FEEL PRETTY and of course BLACK PANTHER is what kept it from obtaining more of the market share and getting the record.

So Infinity War and It have settled that you can open a event movie in any.month on the calender right?

October still at $55M for Gravity

 

But yes, I think it's quite obvious now that the month of release for a tentpole hasn't really anything to do with the gross for it.

 

Infinity War would have made a truckload of money even in January or October

[Fullbuster]

So guys, what kind of total do you expect for IW DOM? 850-900m?

Probably. The only thing stopping movies from getting big openings in any month is the studios themselves. 

 

October now sticks out like a sore thumb, its biggest opening weekend still belonging to GRAVITY ($55,785,112). 

[Mojoguy]

Last weekend of April isn't some OUTRAGEOUS release date here, it is basically the first weekend of May for the most part.

Yes. April is the month of Fast & Furious. Before IW, FURIOUS 7 held the April record and 4 of the top 6 April openings belonged to the franchise.

Wrong thread....

Wrong thread for politics.

[junkshop36]

Well, at least TFA held on to one record this weekend. It still has the highest per screen average for a wide release. Yay! Lol

 

Awseome for IW. If it doesn’t hit 600 it’ll be the first 200+ opener to not do it. I think it gets there.
