Ok found it...

 

Bottom 7...

 

The Incredible Hulk - 55.4m
Ant-Man - 57.2m
Thor - 65.7m
Captain America 1 - 65.0m
Shang Chi - 75.3m
Antman and Wasp - 75.8m
Black Widow - 80.3m

That's kinda impressive, even before The Avengers the MCU never had a flop opening weekend. After that, Ant-Man was a bit of an outlier but still a financial success, and I'm glad Marvel kept his solo franchise going because it's my personal favorite.

with Eternals out of the way I'm thinking the next 6 MCU films could be doing 3x of The Incredible Hulk's OW since all of them are highly anticipated sequels. 166M+ should be within reach for Spidey, Doctor Strange and Black Panther and while I don't know much about Guardians 3 it still has that May Marvel slot so it should also do it. 

 

if any of them would miss I would say it's either Thor or The Marvels especially how the latter doesn't sound like a direct sequel but I haven't heard much else about these two so who knows.

 

it's exciting how the next non-sequel MCU film will be the Fantastic Four!

I think it's Blade, no?

[Cmasterclay]

How are they going to make a fucking Blade move starring Mahershala Ali a quip fest where they have to save the world from the Multiverse Variants or something?

yeah I forgot about Blade, they haven't dated them yet but it could take that nov 2023 slot.

I think NWH, DS2 and BP2 will do 3x Incredible Hulk's OW (or more).

I don't think Thor 4, GOTG3 or The Marvels will hit that mark. 

AM3 certainly won't, though I expect a really nice increase from AM&TW. Blade also certainly won't. 

Fantastic Four might be able to but I'm not sure at this point. The tease of it at Investment Day got a lot of hype but I'm not sure if that translates to OW at all.

Thor and Gotg3 should get there. They barely have to increase from the OW performance of the prior entries, but they should increase a fair bit imo.   
 

Marvels won’t need to increase much if at all either, but could drop depending on how things work out.   
 

Next 6 OWs over 3x hulk would be a fun club, think I’d go IN.

If I may ask, why didn't she like it? What put her off?

It just didn’t grab her, she thought it looked drab and uninteresting, the trailers didn’t do a good job of setting up the story or characters at all. I’ve got to admit, that was also my first reaction to the first trailer too, and I got shot down by some on here for saying so.

 

She’s been tiring of the MCU formula recently though, she hated Falcon & the Winter Soldier, and Shang Chi lost her in the last third when it became yet another sky portal battle. She agrees that Eternals looked different to past MCU films, but it seemed to go too far in the opposite direction for her. 
 

I’ll see the film because I’m in the bag for these movies, but for the first time since 2008, it’ll probably be a few weeks down the line rather than opening weekend.

NWH
$220M

DS2
$175M

Thor 4
$150M 

BP2
$185M

The Marvels 
$130M

GOTG V3
$150M

AM&TW:Q
$105M

And yet Empire has it doing 80.

[charlie Jatinder]

its raining numbers.

[Legion Again]

I am seeing 22.4 for about 80.5-83.5

[EmpireCity]

Charlie is likely right here, something like $22m - $22.5m true Friday, but I am the optimist and think it gets to $23m with good west coast numbers.
