yeah, considering Fri and Sat (Rth 46.5, Official estimates 46.6...pretty much exact) won't change, Sun has to do all the lifting. 113.5 means just a 23.8% Sun drop, even better than BP which was a Sunday monster.

Needs $37M today (a 20.6% drop) to hit $115M for the weekend. Is that about where it's looking?  

[That One Girl]

Nice of RTH to post a picture of him working out, but where are the numbers?

Not sure what could be the special reason for Wonder Woman (story set in Europe, not many Americans in it, etc...) outside the fact that American comic book were specially popular in Anglo-Saxon countries.

 

SH movies that have built their oversea audience with movies do very well yes.

The female audience didn’t really care for it that much overseas , while it was a mini event for many women in the u.s.

It means that Sunday has managed to do all the lifting. 

[Legion Again]

Wait, am I about to have to unmeltdown!?  That’s a lot of work, why you do this to me IW.

Muted Friday increase + weaker than normal Saturday increase + better than expected Sunday drop?

 

This movie don't give a fuck what it does except fucking with us.

16 plates.  That'd be some lift.

[MikeQ]

Sounds like Sunday is doing the heavy lifting, and so the weekend gross will be higher than estimated.   

 

Peace,

Thor has two arms in the picture. 2% drop.

[a2k]

113.5 would be a 55.9% drop.

Of all MCU sequels ( including older ones like IM2, Thor2, CA2 ) only GOTG2 and THOR3 (in November mind you) did better with 55% and 53.5% respectively.

And they didn't break the ow record .

Spoiler

In other words: disappointing, crumbling, not even 2b and horrible (that word was actually used more than once somewhere in pages 70-75)

but he is lifting up and raising the bar so maybe +2% on sunday.

[MikeQ]

I know there are some that are disappointed with Infinity War's second weekend gross, but I think it's second weekend drop is quite strong for the (highly anticipated) third film in a series coming off the largest opening weekend of all time in April/May. Could be an even slightly better drop with actuals.
