If TA4 opens higher than IW next year, what would the poster look like?

Nothing, probably.  This is usually only done when one studio/franchise outdoes another. (from 2014)

Hopefully it is Feige looking at a mirror and telling himself how great he is.

I’m surprised everyone is lowballing (in my opinion) next weekend and the legs on IW.  Yes, history says it should fall to 100-110M next weekend.  Yes, history says that it should only get around a 2.5 - 2.7 multiplier for a total in the 600-700M range.  Let me ask you all this...did history tell us that a Star Wars movie would obliterate the opening weekend record in DECEMBER?? How about how history told us how movies like Avatar and Frozen would have multipliers not seen since the 90s?  How did history do when it came to runs like Black Panther or The Greatest Showman?

 

Sometimes you have to know when to throw predictions limited by “history” and “historical data” out the window and just go with your gut.  These are my predictions:

 

Mon - 29M

Tues - 26M

Wed - 21M

Thurs - 20M

Fri - 42M

Sat - 63M

Sun -53M (158.5M second weekend)

My gut is telling me that I need more Australian style red licorice. How does this translate into a prediction for next weekend?

In case people don't know, this IS something of a tradition in Hollywood when a major box office record is broken.

It used to be only when movies broke the DOM record, but now they include the OW record too.

 

Notably, James Cameron hasn't participated.

Tony earned it. He built this franchise up from nothing a decade ago, in a cave, with a box of scraps.
