IW isn’t crumbling lol.  It’s dropping like a sequel that had a lot of pent up demand for OW.

Folks forget it broke TFA's freaking ow record by nearly 10m. The magnitude of numbers it's putting up is incredible. 109-112 would be a 49-50% drop from true OW of 219. GOTG2, which fell 55% from full OW, fell a similar 49.5% from true OW (129.5 => 65.3)

For some perspective, the lower end of that range is still in the top 25 Saturdays of all time. It's a big number!

 

Since we're memeing tho

Sloppy work.  If you smooth the gif out, make the quality less poor and whatnot, then I will give you a like

Y'all mods should have kept me banned, it was working out better for IW's #'s.

Poor IW....will only make 670 million and not 700.  Poor Disney.

BP vs IW vs Han Solo vs Incredibles 2

I would be disappointed if the weekend does fall short of $110M but overall there's nothing wrong with a 2nd Weekend drop that is under 60% from a film that opened to $250M+ that is a third film but also a followup to 6 previous films (Civil War, Doctor Strange,  GOTG Vol 2, Homecoming, Ragnarok and Black Panther).

 

Will always limit legs.

how Thanos looks and how slow the number moves is bothering me!  good gif conceptually but it needs to be smoothed out.

From a conversation I had with another poster via PM:

 

Quote

Probably have a good inkling of what the (IW second) weekend numbers should be like by Wed (if we discount Mon/Tue slightly for spillover).

Yep.  Still a fantastic second weekend, IMO.  But the signs of there being spillover were there given how both Sat and Sun were at near-capacity.  Folks just couldn't see the movie on Sat/Sun, even if they wanted to.  So they saw it during the week when they might have seen it the previous weekend, if they could have/waited to see it next weekend but didn't want to wait around.

 

A huge, great number for Marvel and Disney no matter how it is sliced, though, even if there might be disappointment from some.

This place cracks me up. Infinity War is going to sail past 600 mil, and people are melting down on here. Debbie downers

Well. That number is really a surprise. With that number, getting second place in biggest second weekend of all time is no longer safe.

After like 6 months of countless arguments, I'm not sure you understand the gravity of my situation if IW fails to hit at least 2.5x.

AIW dom is looking at ~45% bump from AOU.

 

Looking at some other three-quels

- LOTR3 showed a 12% bump from LOTR2.

- Revenge of the Sith jumped 25% from Clones. Both had a similar bad guy hook. 

- IM3 showed a 31% bump from IM2

- THOR3 showed a 52% bump from THOR2.

- CA3 showed a 57% bump from CA2. Huge difference in casting though.

- TS3 showed a nice 69% bump from TS2. 11 year gap between the movies.

I gotta stop coming into this thread. The predictions keep getting lower each time.
