Star Wars holds on to that 2nd weekend record. Guess we will have to wait to see a 150M 2nd weekend.

Not necessarily.  If AEG has the same drop as AIW on it's 2nd Sunday with Charlie's $61.4m Saturday the w/e = $150.299

Above Civil War's $61.2M FIRST Sat. Huge achievement imo.

If it does fall 21% like IW, it will come in at around 149. Going to be very close.

It's not a matter of opinion. This movie is killing it.

If I was Disney, I will go for 25-26% drop on Sunday for 147mn and let the actuals do the record breaking.

Agree, keep underestimating it, it's worked great so far!

 

Cause you know the minute they claim the record, that shit will definitely come in under.

Best live action Superhero Movie second weekend drops:

 

1. Aquaman -23.2% (December)

2. Spider-Man -37.8%

3. Wonder Woman -43.3%

4. Batman Begins -43.4%

5. Black Panther -44.7%

6. Thor -47.2%

7. The Green Hornet -47.3%

8. Iron Man -48.1%

 

This is a reach btw there are only 8 superhero films in the top 500 “best 2nd weekend drops” lol

 

They usually always fall over 50% or 55%. Nothing really to worry about this weekend. 

How come isn’t Batman 1989 or The Incredibles 2004 not in this list? They both dropped 25,7% and 28,7% respectively.

Disney usually does underestimate all their big movies first few weekends.

Also important to remember:

 

A 150M 2nd weekend would be a 49,4% drop from the true FSS (297M) of Endgame. In other words: Absolutely incredible.

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Pretty remarkable how much Infinity War and Endgame have expanded the MCU considering both films are heavily linked to the previous continuity of the MCU.

The drops pretty much make TFA and 3B safe but the raw numbers are still big and we really don't know how that will go ahead which still give a little hope.

 

Ofcourse let's see if that A+ give it late legs.

IW's 3rd weekend was against a void of nothing. Endgame faces competition starting on the 3rd weekend with Pokémon. Also, on his 6th weekend IW faced again absolutely nothing. This year Endgame faces the Rocketman/Godzilla combo. This year, Endgame will face Pets 2 and Dark Phoenix. Guess what IW faced last year on his 7th weekend? Ocean's 8. Endgame has way way way way more competition in the coming weeks IW ever did.

Presumably The Incredibles isn't on the list because it isn't live action as stated.

 

As for Batman, to be fair the OP was taking it from a list of 'best second weekend drops' which may itself had had qualifiers. Certainly going back all the way to 1989 is a very different era in terms of the concept of 'opening weekend' and how box office numbers built up.

I like the symmetry of MCU having the  WW crown, Avatar the OS crown and SW the domestic crown.   It just feels right.

[Legion Again]

Competition is no big deal. The + will work its magic from here.
