What record did it break?

Highest grossing opening for a film with action/sci-fi film with a female lead which opened on the 1st friday of the 3rd month on a night where the red moon is over Wyoming.

 

I'm a record breaker too by the way. Most posts by someone with both Iron and Jimbo in their name.

That's $147M total. I hope it gets to $150M.

Record (breaking a record) and Record (to record something) is confusing in writing but when you verbally say it, what Scott wrote makes sense.

The box office is officially alive again between Dragon 3, Captain Marvel, and the upcoming back-to-back-to-back punch of Us, Dumbo, and Shazam.

Its 11:15 AM on the east coast. A bit early to ask for Saturday domestic numbers

I am not saying it's a great choice of words, especially in regards to a huge box office weekend, lol.

Us is gonna make more OW than Dumbo/Shazam’s combined OW’s

[charlie Jatinder]

Very early number, $52-54mn Saturday.

 

Ps. Since I know how film played on Friday, I am not that conservative. So consider that.

I think it's fair to compare. Favreau doesn't really have a style...

I don't care if the director... its about those movies are pretty different. it was said they are all the same in a way. To compare under a handful with the early movies sounds logical to me. Not logical to me is to compare it to an impression of the sum (and a bit too much only looking at te sum in my POV)

A director having his/her on style usually good. But usually not happening over-night. And sometimes even limiting, depends a lot on the project.

The past couple of weeks and the next few is looking to be very similar to Spring 2015, where Cinderella, Insurgent, Home, and Furious 7 all opened above $50M back to back (although Captain Marvel is obviously in the middle instead of the end like Furious)

Saw CM last night and really enjoyed it

 

8.5/10

Captain Marvel should enjoy a relatively solid hold next weekend too with a weekend in the $60-65M area at least given that nothing's really opening (both Wonder Park and Five Feet Apart feel like mid-teens openers at best and Captive State is destined to make pennies).
