If not beating it outright the IW is definitely at least challenging TFA and F7 for how many record breaking OD and OW there will be

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

[Carlangonz]

To put things on perspective:

 

IW OD is enough to be on Top 20 OW all-time, OW is enough for Top 35 all-time, maybe even Top 30.

Awesome! I was expecting 33%, so i did was conservative with ticket price average

[LeoC]

Astonishing!

[Purple Minion]

 400M lc OW would be mental.

 

 

[Carlangonz]

Well, it's time for the reveal...

 

$171.8M MXN

$9.19M USD

 

Highest Opening Day of All-Time

Highest Single Day of All-Time

 

+38% from Civil War, the previous record.

 

If follows Civil War then:

Fri: $171.8M

Sat: $155.19M

Sun: $156.57M

OW: $483.56M MXN/$25.87M USD

 

That would be enough to put it +37% from previous record (Civil War) and also would put it as 26th biggest title of all-time. 

 

Let's not make any illusion right now and stay on ground with $420M+ Matinees today were stronger than yesterday, although yestarday had the midnight boost so no, neither Sat or Sun are increasing. Finally, Mon is day off for schools and Tue is a holiday, PS for later are huge so that may hit weekend's numbers in somehow. Still, anything can happen, stay tunned.

I’m super optimistic...and crazy $ 10M on Saturday 🤭😎

[Carlangonz]

Afternoon business saw a small decrease, bad weather on center and south of country, anyway keeps strong. Theatres adding shows for 01-02 AM. 

 

Not sure yet about that CW multi but more confident on $450+ rather than $420M+

 

PS for tomorrow bodes well.

 

I forgot to say: repeat viewings will be more popular for this than for CW, specially for 4D and IMAX. $1B is doable

more likely around 450m if sun similar to Sat, sat looking 140mish, WE may get around 8m admits

[Purple Minion]

Goodness...

[Purple Minion]

Enough for the all-time Top 30 in lc after Just. Three. Days

[Carlangonz]

Quick recap

• Destroys Civil War record by 33%
• Tomorrow joins Top 25 all-time
• Tuesday finishes with $550M+, at Top 20 all-time and as #1 of 2018
• $900M+ ($47M+USD) and #2 all time at the end. I'm thinking $950M-$970M ($50M-$51M USD)
• $1B are reachable, wom is pretty good. At social media is a phenomenon a la Coco
• Coco looks pretty safe to me in $, as for admissions is even safer, that record is an unique beast

Looks Disney is happy  From Deadline:

Quote

 

Disney Worldwide Distribution chief Dave Hollis tell Deadline. “Honestly, this is a result that goes unbelievably beyond what anyone would have expected. But it’s also a reflection of what 10 years of really methodical work and a great campaign, and an unbelievably strong movie and every single person being in the movie and what that means for driving people into cinemas,” he adds.

It was a perfect storm of the critically- and fan-praised picture playing well everywhere. In places where Marvel typically excels like Latin America, Infinity War “just exploded,” says Hollis who notes Mexico’s $25.1M “is take your breath away.
