No, that would be bad. Because that would be a bad opening weekend. But I would also say it salvaged the bad OW with a great multiplier. But that would be a very disappointing box office result.

I thought it would perform like a lot of Avengers sequels and only have a 2.3-2.4X. It looks like it's going to settle in at around a 2.5. To me, for Marvel sequels, that's really quite good. For me this isn’t a simple marvel sequel, I might be wrong but that’s the way I feel. Making less than black panther in the u.s is a huge disappointment , no matter how many times I read about zeitgeist and churches booking tickets. I wasn’t expecting it to reach TFA levels, in the u.s, but missing 700 million after its first week and watching this perform so banal after that first week is disappointing TO ME. Don’t care about the marvel-hating people and I don’t see the numbers with the same bias they do, they basically celebrate while I am disappointed. Anyway great news about Cobra Kai , the second season will be epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, much better than 2.3 or 2.4 with Civil War/IM3/Ultron...especially since Infinity opened much larger. The bigger the opening, usually it means weaker legs. So bigger opening and better legs...that is a win/win for Marvel compared to some of those previous MCU sequels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledmonkey96 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) If multi's are all that matters does that mean Transformers: TLK with it's x2.9 was good? What about Dark of the Moons x3.5? Does this mean ChipMunkey is a fan of Transformers? Edited May 10, 2018 by Ledmonkey96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like if Trump supporters started "dragging" me. I take it as a compliment. At least you all are finally learning things about box office today.

Sam Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Well, as arbitrary as it is, a record of “4th worst multi in Top 25 movies” surely isn’t anywhere as glamorous as “the worst multi for a 150M+ opener” But I think Marvel will have to be content with that all things considered. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway great news about Cobra Kai , the second season will be epic. Nobody ever said that team movies must make more than individual movies domestically. Therefore this coming second to BP is not a disappointment, WTF? It increased over both AoU and TA, will pass TA, will hit 2B WW. Moreover, it's the same Marvel House. They do not care. It's just fans who fight over boxoffice while the studio is laughing all the way to the bank. great news for CK!

Do any of you actually read? 2.9 is a good multiplier for a Transformers film! (except it opened on a wednesday, so... that's actually pretty bad!) Same for Dark of the Moon. Do you do research? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 235*2.70=635 would make people happier than 258*2.55=658 it seems. it's as if each good number is a high and people want a bigger and bigger high everyday without any perspective, else they show withdrawal symptoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
