Thanks for specifying that it's in 3D.  Clearly this is the 3D event of a lifetime, sorry James Cameron

That's the title of the movie on Box Office Mojo.  I must call the movie by its true artistic title.

Pancham is in the Pokémon anime you know. And further proof of a fake PikaPika fan.

I can see an increase WW, my guess is that Lion King will bite off it’s legs.

If Endgame delivers the goods, Spidey will be huge. $175M+ OW DOM. Could do $500M+ total even.

They can coexist just fine.

I would have been on the $400M+ train for Spidey but yeah Lion King is gonna hurt it. Still it's in July and if it's good it should outgross Homecoming. I'm more interested if it can explode OS.

can someone please explain to me why CM couldn't open with 200M despite having presales second only to IW? I just don't get it. :verydepressed:

Because presales just become more and more prevalent and necessary. 

 

Especially as more theaters move to reserved seating and recliners.

The sense of importance. Not that Captain Marvel isn't important. But Infinity War was billed as the last Avengers; it had the foundation of a lengthy list of stars and a substantial amount of previous Marvel hits supporting it. The only Disney-brand Marvel film between Infinity War and this one was Ant-Man & The Wasp--this potentially limited the momentum.

 

But fear not; the weekend's only just begun. We may only know a few clues as to how the film could gross.

I think Black Panther would have opened where it did regardless of whether the character was introduced in Civil War. That film had everything going for it and I really don't think a minor appearance in Civil War is what gave it any extra boost at the box office. 

I have to agree. I know quite a few friends who were excited about Black Panther, but had no concept what The Avengers were, the MCU or that Black Panther was in Civil War.

For those of you wondering about Guru and rth, rth has told me in the past that they are friendly with one another. So it certainly would not surprise me if rth is guru's source.

Box Office Blood Brothers.

Length of the pre-sales + augmentation of the pre-sales prevalence + demography that pre-buy a lot + no giant best movie of the year type of buzz that get people that didn't expect to go in ?
