Isn't that what the internet is for?
Is that for real or is this more sarcasm, because if that's real then hoooooooly shit.
Because GAF
In seriousness,
1 Star Wars: The Force Awakens BV $247,966,675
2 Jurassic World Uni. $208,806,270
3 Marvel's The Avengers BV $207,438,708
4 Avengers: Age of Ultron BV $191,271,109
5 Iron Man 3 BV $174,144,585
So Cap kicks Tony's ass out of BO Top 10 Openings?
It's my job to be repetitive. My job. My job. Repetitiveness is my job! I am going to go out on GAF tonight and write the best post of my life.
Awesome. Thank you!
Tell me about it. Next in the cycle is a page or two on that DC guy on YouTube.

Great estimated result for Civil War. I'm glad I ignored the frenzy of record breaking predictions over the past couple of weeks.
Didn't someone feverishly ask about TFA's record being at risk at one point? Yikes.

I don't think anybody seriously expected Civil War to challenge that
At one point people were predicting BvS would be the highest grossing film this year, people make mistakes.
Before the trailers came out, right?
Would I be right in assuming that it's all about Japan now? Where I guess it would need some kind of Frozen legs, if it continues doing about half as much on weekends as Frozen, as it has done on the two tracked so far.

That's almost double Winter Soldiers opening.
No, like well into February.

Lol I know, but I seem to remember the poster asking as though he wanted it to be true. An "is such a thing even possible? Please say yes" situation.
Didn't top 200 million?
There was a time above... a time before... there were box office records... diamond absolutes. But films bomb... films in theatres. And what bombs... is fallen. In the shareholder report, it took Marvel to the light. A beautiful lie.
And now the next generation of MCU films will inherit an empty theatre... if there is a next generation.
Some people were definitely in that range. TBF, most were like, come on man, it's not happening, just... no.
Is it too early for Infinity War predictions?!

Incredible. The fact that an opening like this was expected is a testament to the amazing work Disney have put into building this universe. They are reaping the dividends whilst also guaranteeing future earnings based on quality.
It should get there.
Two weeks ago (Japan opening weekend): $907.1m
Last week: $931.4m (earned $24.3m)
This week: $956m (earned 24.6m)
It didn't even really slow down. Guessing it gets there in the next 3-4 weeks comfortably, assuming it drops off faster.
Fantastic. At the high end of plausibility given the opening Friday. A very good early sign or legs. (BvS opened bigger on Friday, but this is $17m higher for the weekend, for context.)
It's like a one studio reign of terror. This franchise has been consistently targeting the fans and the mainstream and the women, and as far as I can tell the critics are actually helping them.

The moment TFA crossed $2b people started expecting everything to. It was like "Well, a non-Cameron film did it, it's open season!". Without considering that the non-Cameron film was, ya know, Star Wars. A good Star Wars. That was the first OT sequel in 3 decades. And the first Star Wars period in over a decade.
Same for its $936m domestic run. It's like people, I don't think you quite realize how big of a number that is.
Being under 200 million is honestly surprising to me. I really thought word of mouth would have pushed this over 200. I wonder how much money Disney cost themselves not calling this Avengers: Civil War?
Still its a incredible open and the upward trend on the Captain America movie's box office is really something.

~$180m is about what I would have expected, but I let myself get caught up in the $200m+ hype at the last second.
The name might have dipped it slightly for the opening, but I really don't think it did that much. And I think any name-induced dip will be erased in the long-run anyway, with the potential hold-outs being won over by word-of-mouth.
