Same.  Only with my Dad.

 

I was talking to mine, and he mentioned that our Disney Stock was up again.  I replied: "Well, End Game did make 350M this weekend."

 

And he said to me: "What are you talking about?"

 

Now, my Dad hates "funny books" and knows nothing about Marvel Studios.  He continued: "It made 1.2 BILLION."

 

I was like, 

 

 

CNBC is clearly on top of this.

 

You had a chance to "#aksually" pops!!!

 

"Aksually, that was worldwide.  It did 350+ here in 'merica and Canada where the studio gets the mo...." 

 

Hope you took it.

So, if this hits $200M second weekend, I think Pikachu will be very overshadowed. All the media attention will be on EG, and I think lots of people who don't typically go to movies will opt to see EG over Pikachu. At this point, I am a bit worried about it. I think WB made a bad decision with their release date.

38-37-26-24, about IW drops gets to $123 million on its first set of weekdays. And I think it'll do higher than this because this is having a much, much bigger spillover than IW.

It's OW is EG's third weekend.  Even if they thought EG would do 20% more than IW's 3rd weekend when they were setting the schedule, that would be thinking that it would be competing against around a 75m weekend.

 

They probably figured that they could compete against that.

I mean, before we start retroactively analyzing this it should be noted that the 200 million second weekend (which I agree is a problem for Pikachu) is still a significant "if" at this stage.

Still, if they expected to compete against a 70M weekend and they compete against a 105M weekend instead (not saying this will happen, but 🤷‍♂️) can’t imagine they’ll be too happy.

We don't even need to retroactively analyze it, is my point.  What studio scheduler in their right mind would have forecasted the possibility of a 180-200m second weekend for EG when WB set the schedule for Pikachu?

Are you a third independent source here? 44 would definitely not be “decent I guess,” it would be craaaaaaazy good.

Nope, just guessing & hoping.

Oh, I presume that they were expecting to compete against something +/- IW's 3rd weekend (62m).  I was giving 75m (62 * 1.2 = 74.4) as what they might have imagined as a worst case scenario. Either from a nearly unthinkable opening week (307) or crazy legs/drops.

 

That 75 isn't remotely the worst case scenario right now from Pika's perspective just shows, IMO, that no one could have reasonably foreseen this possibility.

Endgame's 2nd weekend is gonna be higher than Avengers' opening weekend ( 207 million ).

 

You read it here first! XD

To be the very best, like no one ever was, you gotta beat the best.

I remember SW7 MON was not a legal holiday but many people didn't have to go to work or school?
