The trailers made it appear to me to be one of the most expensive, God-awful pieces of fei-oo to come out in years.

How the hell did it manage this opening?

Nostalgia, decent word of mouth, plus a nice soft opening period ... Tomorrowland, Mad Max didn't really dominate their periods, so for a lot of people Avengers was the last "big" movie, and that's been a while ago now. 

I also think this being Chris Pratt's 1st major role following the wildly popular Guardians of the Galaxy played a big part in JW's success. Pratt is shaping up to be the next Harrison Ford (big break while in 30s, 1st role an unexpetedly popular Space Opera, now playing more action adventure roles, and rumor is they want Pratt to play Indy)

 

Will probably see this next weekend. My sister-in-law saw it and said it was awsome, she is a sucker for over the top actions movies so take that for what its worth.
