Correct me if I'm wrong, b/c I might be, but wasn't he also touting how great Ant Man 3 did OW and how it boded well for a great run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea cause I didn't really follow AM3. But he was right about Vol 3 so credit where it's due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Amazing MON, if manages 7.5M WED than 65M 2nd weekend is probably happening (-45%) After that the run can get closer to other MCU well received sequels due to competition and still finish with 340-350M But what’s more important (to me at least): If the movie reach 315M OS by SUN, +500M is probably locked Edited May 9, 2023 by ThomasNicole 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was absolutely abrasive and totally makes sense why he got the boot here but was more often accurate/right in his numbers and predictions then he was wrong. Can be two things at once.

screambaby Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I mentioned before that I wondered if it was CBM fatigue or mediocre CBM fatigue. Antman opened low and only got worse cause the reception was bad. Guardians opened low and its trending up...if the trade off is weaker opening for stronger legs it's a good trade.

JohnnyGossamer Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Wonder if someone will start a best MCU 2nd weekend DOM since NWH club? Would need to eclipse WF's 66.4M to do that... I personally don't see that happening but expect it could beat MoM's 61.8M second weekend maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Should be 825ish at least, 925ish if things go great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other possible clubs (last really bold) Guardians 3 10 day gross over AMQ total (213M) Guardians 3 2nd weekend over Guardians 2 2nd weekend (65.2M) Guardians 3 2nd weekend best hold for any MCU (Black Panther's 44.7%) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianL Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Ant-Man opened pretty well imo. $120m+ OW wasn't realistic considering how the others did. Had the movie been... better it would've ended up with a decent gross. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt it be crazy if Guardians 3 has the best drop of the entire MCU? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurrrrk Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 It's not coming close to MOM, but maybe it can get close to Black Panther 2. Still don't think it's likely to eclipse BP2 because worldwide OW was 40 million below BP2 and BP2 had Thanksgiving + Holidays to artificially boost the legs, as well as 5 weeks of 0 competition. In Guardians 3's 5th week, it will be losing screens to Fast X, The Little Mermaid, and Across the Spider-Verse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
