Nothing is guaranteed but the pessimistic turns in this thread regarding CM are...a bit much. I don't see this movie dropping more than 60%, if that. And having watched it, I'd be surprised if it can't managed a 2.7 multiplier. Even with "just" a 150M opening, that's gets it over 400M.  

No, its not for Captain Marvel but for every movie 🤣

You can find solace in the absolutely massive worldwide debut this is having. I'm flabergasted by the OS numbers.

Well yes but we are talking about CM right now and there is really no reason to think it's going to plummet. Can we get an updated Saturday number first? Lol

Fighting with My Family is, sadly, kinda bad.  It goes through every cliche you expect it to and doesn’t do much with it.  Pugh is great but when is she not

Who the hell said that? And why the hell would anyone discredit Aquaman getting that far up with such a lame excuse? I'm actually legitimately curious, by the way..... because yes, every year sees at least 4-5 movies hit 1B+ WW, but it's still technically not regular and rare to achieve.

In the international thread. @Thanos Legion and some other dudes said a Billy ain't impressive no more lol

How long before Marvel hoover her up?

There is no reason to expect Captain Marvel to have a bad drop. It's not hated and I'm sure it's as pleasant as most other Marvel films but a lack of competition doesn't mean that such a thing is impossible. If people hate a movie it doesn't matter if it doesn't have comp it will plummet. How anyone can use that "no competition" automatically means a good drop after March 2016 is beyond me.

[KJsooner]

Nice. Very nice! If that holds, then so continues the trend of even bigger Saturday increases lately (from true Friday).

[Nova]

Gonna be crazy when in two months Pikachu makes what Captain Marvel did OW in Thursday night previews. 

[a2k]

53-54.5 would be a 29-33% bump from true Friday. BP was 30%.

 

high-end probably,

61.4

54.5

40.1 (-26.4%)

= 156.0

So are there any hard numbers yet which is why people are starting to slide into doom and gloom?

These Pika comments are starting to border on James Cameron fandom level of delusion.

No. Cause the difference is my comments are pure sarcasm. I mean what movie is making $155-160M in previews 

 

 

 

 

Except Pika Pika of course

Looking good for $155 million domestic, which is $30 million over what I predicted a month ago; and about $430m or so worldwide which is easily $100m over what I predicted. This is all Gucci to me 🤑

agree. 2.8b is out of reach. with today's exr tough to breach 2.5b. let's go reasonable and say 2.4b for pika.
