Just because we had outrageous predictions for a movie, doesn’t mean said movie that’s opening to $190M+ isn’t an event film. Like what kind of logic is that  

It can’t be an event film when it’s a tech demo, not a movie!

[charlie Jatinder]

61-61.5, may go higher but I think that's it.

is the new cat fur from cats supposed to be cheap?  Ex-Machina was cheap. 

that should change the way special effects are used in movies.  anyone can be anything, eye candy should then be harder to sell. 

is the cats movie supposed to be like an equivalent of a 100M movie turned into a year-long inexpensive production with whatever you want?  Something from the bedroom?

To whomsoever it concerns, The Lion King is looking at 3rd biggest OW for a Hollywood movie in India after EndGame & Infinity War.

 

Also it's jump from Friday to Saturday was record breaking.

 

Full trend will be known on Weekdays but it should target 4th Highest Grossing Hollywood movie in India for its lifetime atleast.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Since Marvel announced the slate, studios do not need to stay clear after opening weekend in 2020. Even one week later they can move in, hope studios step up.

Yeah there's nothing from Marvel for studios to really be afraid of. It's actually a nice change, and I'm a Marvel fanatic! 2020 and 2021 will be a nice little breather, but with intriguing offerings nonetheless.

I thought he made some type of bet that he lost and then when it was time to pay up, high tailed it out like a coward

It was Wonder Woman over 400M or Spidey1 and against @baumerI think. He would mock everyone for their predictions (You can still see it in his activity) but as soon as he realized the impossible was going to happen, he ran away.

[Biggestgeekever]

This is family film releasing in the middle of July, where it'll have a maximum benefit on weekdays. Even with the very high Thursday preview number, I wouldn't bet on a multiplier under 3.5. I think $650M is the low.

"How does it feel to have Endgame be the highest grossing movie ever?"

[BadAtGender]

Huh, they got Portman back. Way to go.

[Krissykins]

That phase 4 line up from Marvel doesn’t look very good at all. 

 

Hard to tell which ones are actually films and which one are just for streaming. 

 

Black Widow though, yay. But we’ve known that for months.

But they made that very clear...

 

The films are: Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange, Thor and Blade. 

 

The rest are series for Disney+

 

Also there’s more Phase 4 to be announced later, including Fantastic 4 and X Men
