It was assisted by the 8.7m thursday and it made 50% of it gross on it's 4-5 days and that's through an extended weekend holiday. Everything after will look rosy. 

A 3x is a 3x.

It's and it's not bad, but you need context to go with it after all this is the weekend to weekend performance.

Feb 15, 2019	1	$28,525,613		3,790	$7,527	$37,241,845	1
Feb 22, 2019	2	$12,342,291	-57%	3,802	$3,246	$61,023,359	2
Mar 1, 2019	3	$7,221,417	-41%	3,096	$2,332	$72,452,725	3

You need to calculate it this way to get a true measurement. 

 

80/37*100 = 2.16x

I mean it's a 80 million, that's pretty terrible for a 170 million production budget. Leggy or not.

[The Futurist]

Disney movies make billies like it s a formality while other studios keep dreaming of that number or have one once in a blue moon.

 

If you read BOT at the time of the release of Ultron and Civial War , you d swear they were borderline flops.

 

And Beauty and the Beast made massive  numbers while everybody was yawning.

Disney churns out multiple billion dollar movies every year since 2015 that you'd think it's so easy to achieve now. That's why people like Grace Randolph aren't that impressed with $1B now and saying things like "$2B is the new $1B".

I haven't discovered BOT yet when CW opened. I can only imagine the panic when it had such short legs. Lol. But why did it have short legs though?

You don't want to open that can of worms trust me.

It depends on its worldwide numbers. Maybe it can be saved by a $600M worldwide gross. Can it reach that though? Are there some huge markets left?

I'm just curious as to why it had such short legs. Maybe if that movie was called Avengers: Civil War, it could have made at least $1.3B.

It seems to have opened in all major areas internationally.

I wasn't around BOT at the time but my reasoning was a combination of Avengers faitigue after Ultron, being more appealing to hardcore MCU fans than GA and continuity lockout with Winter Soldier being essential viewing a film which grossed half of Ultron.

BTW, can now confirm CM 3rd weekend 37.3-37.9   

 

Spoiler

If that actually hits by some miracle, the 4th will be locked into 23.9

It's opened everywhere already. Final WW gross should be around $410 million.

No, 500 is out of reach too. Maybe 400+? I'm not commenting on the quality. Could be great, haven't seen it, not my cup of tea.

Remember how BOT predicted <2.1x legs for IW because there was no way it'd be less front loaded than CW?

So it will have the typical MCU 50-55 % second-week drop. I don't understand what made some people think this would have a Wonder Woman/Black Panther-like second frame decrease, when it is quite evident that the actual word of mouth for CM is ok, not spectacular like those other two films.

 

Can you point out the people or posts where people seriously thought CM would have a drop like WW (and make 87m)?Because I cant find these posts. 

 

Or are you just trying to stir the pot?

No, should go just barely over 400

Agree with Futurist in "you don't wanna open that can of worms". Seriously, the meltdowns were crazy... I'm pretty sure there was an over 200M OW and 600M DOM club or something along those lines. 

Among the rational theories, I think a lot of them were along the lines of "it was a fans-only event"

After AoU people were saying there was no way Infinity War would hit 400M, lotta people (not everyone) were calling for the end of the MCU box-office wise. Hilarious in retrospect.

Good lordy...MCU fans can get so defensive!
