They made another one?

well deserved imo.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

$106M for Fri plus previews! Looking for that #1 opening weekend.



So, does anyone think it can have the largest opening weekend? For the DBO, it sits at ~$106M. It has two days to make the $142M it needs to pass TFA. For the FBO, it sits at ~$179M. It has two days to make the $265M it needs to pass The Fate of the Furious.

Personally, I think it has a pretty good shot at beating TFA's domestic opening. Beating FOTF is going to be a tall order. Of course, FOTF had the advantage of launching in China in its opening weekend. Not sure why Disney insists on spacing out their China releases.

The current weekend estimate is 245 million in the US, and i wouldn't be surprised if it goes higher than that

I think it has a chance to take the weekend record. I think the chances are higher than 50% for sure. However, TFA had a 120 Million dollar Friday. IW has about 105 million day opening. It will be close.

Personally, I am cheering it does. Star Wars 7 wasn't enjoyable to me but I loved Infinity War.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Yea, it'll be interesting to see how it fares Sat and Sun.  I mean its Fri take was ~39% above BP's take.  For it to make $139M for the rest of the weekend seems kind of low, since that would be just ~10% above BP's Sat and Sun take.  If it does ~25% higher, which is the average of those two figures, it would make ~$263.5M for the weekend.

Agreed.  TFA was an alright film.  But IW was a really good movie.  Definitely deserves the title.



That’s disappointing given how ok the movie was.



It did 80m on Saturday so that means it's at 186. Looking at a 70m haul on Sunday it means it becomes the biggest launch ever. It will also have the biggest weekend worldwide and that without China. Including China the ww haul is probably around 600m which in same territories would beat ff8 with 100m
