$54mn is locked.

 

Disney will go with 30% drop on Sunday in estimates, that will give

 

61.7

54

37.8

 

153.5

 

Though considering how this year has been, I expect 25% Sunday dip.

Marvels Saturday surge 

[a2k]

GOTG2 had a 24% Sun drop. CM can pull something similar.

 

61.7

54.2

41.2 (-24%)

= 157.1

Do you think BP being as massive as it was changed marvels plans at all? Wasn't Captain Marvel supposed to be the head of the MCU after this phase?

Hey hey settle down now. Avatar 2 will handle it

Cameron’s movies are too long to break the record. Maybe a WW OW record but not DOM. Avatar 2 will probably be 3.5 hours.

Here’s another interesting tidbit about opening weekends and superhero movies. 

 

First 100m OW - Spider-Man 1 (2002)

First 150m OW - Spider-Man 3 (2007)

First 200m OW - Avengers 1 (2012)

First 250m OW - Avenger 3 (2018)

 

Hitting those 50m milestones every 5-6 years. So prepare for the 300 to be breached by Avengers vs Xmen in 2023 😀

 

But then that would mean no 300m for Endgame. 😭

 

PS - if not for the pesky Jurassic Park, Batman Forever would have been the first to 50m completing the set. 

 

Superhero fatigue amirite?

 

Actually Batman Forever WAS the first the movie to open to $50m (it did $52.7m in 1995). Jurassic Park opened to $47m in 93. So the set is complete 😉

Just drop the second EG trailer featuring CM, preferably the coming Thursday, and a 2.7+ multiplier is guaranteed.
