Yes, IIRC the only March wed that's higher is BatB's first at $11M
I don't think it will but I wouldn't be surprised.
After looking at these CM numbers though, it's not a long shot in the dark at all.
I'll say endgame opens a bit lower (because of duration) but ends up higher.
Or maybe we just do 300M opening hah.

A touch less goofy, but still fun. CW Flash Season One had a pretty perfect tone, and if you could get rid of all the "character acts stupid to advance the plot" it would be a decent model.
Wonder Woman was spot-on tone-wise as well. Warm, funny, but serious when it needed to be.
Add me to the list of people that think the new Endgame trailer is pretty great. Not so much for showing more cool stuff from the movie, but for pitching this as the closure for Cap, Thor, and Iron Man and reminding us that that's probably the biggest reason to see it.
It's retroactively selling the whole arc leading up to this, and how this is the last one in the set to complete your collection.

Let's play a game (no prices, unless you're wiling to accept one trash* indie game from my pile of humble bundle keys). We have three new wide releases this weekend and they are as follows: an animated kiddie film in Wonder Park, a YA "I'm sick and in love" weepie in Five Feet Apart, and a sci-fi thriller that is doing the whole mystery box thing in Captive State. So good folks, it's time for a game of

I think Shazam will hit $100m OW. There's excitement for that movie.
also would more expensive double feature tickets count towards Endgame's total? Cause I expect many many people willing to pay extra to watch Infinity War and Endgame back to back on the big screen. If so, Infinity War's OW record is definitely going down.

Process of elimination:
Five Feet Apart won't bomb on a budget that small. It's not designed to make huge bank, and it won't.
Captive State's smallish budget and counterprogramming the Big Superhero Movie for people who either go to the movies a lot and already saw CM or are just not into hero movies means it will at least have an audience.
Wonder Park-- costs a ton, reviews badly, and CM probably still eats the top-end of its age range (lots of kids seeing MCU movies these days, especially one with a Girl Power theme). I'm saying Wonder Park is the only clear bomb. HTTYD might even shave off a bit of its audience. Bonus points-- my kids, who want to see virtually everything they see a trailer for, have expressed zero interest.
It might sneak out of bomb territory into "disappointing" territory but it's not going to be a happy weekend for the producers.
Wonder Park sounds like a joy behind the scenes.
- $100M budget for a movie that appears to be a backdoor pilot for a future tv show first, movie second.
- Original director fired for sexual misconduct. Three others (one with no experience in animation) took over, but no one will be credited as director. This may be a first.
- Jeffrey Tambor originally had a part but was replaced with Max from Armageddon. In the UK the role is voiced by former Doctor Tom Baker.
Wonder Park for the budget alone. I don't think the other two will do well, but they have significantly smaller budgets and I've seen more advertising for WP than for the other two combined.Let's play a game (no prices, unless you're wiling to accept one trash* indie game from my pile of humble bundle keys).

Wonder Park. At 7 million Five Feet Apart will break even at least on incidentals, Captive State isn't going to do much but at least will get halfway there eventually I'd think. Wonder Park is a $100 Million boondoggle with some of the worst ads I've ever seen (And for animated film, that's saying something), PLUS there's money sunk into an animated series that is DOA due to the aforementioned bombing of the source material.
Was surprised at how full the 1pm Captain Marvel showing was today. Theater was about half full. And didnt think the regular schools were out this week, because there were a ton of kids.
I would expect any double features to be on Thursday, timed to precede the 6 or 7pm first showings of Endgame, so not cutting into Endgame showings.

Five Feet Apart is too low to outright bomb, but all are going to lay a turd
I'm thinking OWX3-3.5 range for Shazam! Great early impressions and there's next to nothing in its way for 3 weeks
Shazam's China Exclusive trailer
People don't realize two things
1) Take Two is a publisher, and this would give Sony entry/access to multi platform publishing even if Sony side did not engage directly
2) There are no redundancies here. People can accept it or not, but the hardware agnostic future is coming in hot, and we're witnessing the beginning of content wars for **streaming** and **a la cart** service platforms that more closely resemble the Netflix battleground. If anything, if the rumours of Xbox Gamepass coming to Switch, and Google being on the verge of announcing a console is true, Sony would outright purchase Take Two if only to prevent that content from appearing on their rivals services.
That SOUNDS like buisiness as usual, but it's really not. The game is changing and you either adapt or die.
PS4 Remote Play coming to IOS is just the start. As hardware becomes increasingly abstracted, expect wild wild things from all the major players moving into next gen while keeping all of those 'Sony Emulation' patents in mind for how PSNOW will evolve
But back on topic.

Their wallets are hypocrites.
Or, more likely, the only ones who care are Youtubers.
Very similar to older ones with a few new moments that are great. The bad guy speech part is good.
It was my most anticipated game of 2019 at the start of the year
When are we gonna get a good game that lets us fly like Iron Man mang

It's from Acclaim so you know it's good.
seeya got seeya. He's an overly aggressive poster who frequently is wrong and refuses to admit to that and doubles down on the aggression when someone challenges him. 🤷♂️
So the hold is better than the $20-25m 2nd weekend Gavin Feng is predicting?
Subscribe to my channel Nerds & Gamers and I'll tell you all about how Disney is buying tickets to Captain Marvel in China to promote their SJW agenda after the Chinese audience rejected it. Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe and be sure to donate to my Patreon, my mom is charging me rent starting next month
It's still in that range, but the % drop is less harsh, simillar to homecoming.
Also Captain Marvel is holding well in domestic market, and it seems like the 2nd trailer of Endgame even helps it a bit.
I was requested to update my big Disney Roadmap pic to show how many dollars they've made over all their films for the year and how close they to $10 Billion , I'll probably have something when the sunday numbers are posted, but I wonder what I should do about the more minor Disney Films like Penguins, do I add them under misc? Do I have them in the posters will all the other big titles? I don't want us to be in October and people being like "What the heck is that Penguins movie?", Artemis Fowl is already going to be raising those questions as is.
(I won't be counting Fox films towards the total should the deal go through).

He's got a good grasp on the China BO but on anything else......yeah he's kind of in over his head most of the time and with his aggressive attitude it creates a lot of problems.
My banned theory is still true!
Ok well fair um..........he better than me at it at least.

Sad thing is the worldwide total won't even hit the domestic total of the first film.
The massive budget for Wonder Park and nonexistent marketing guarantee that will be the biggest bomb. Being another sci-fi film involving aliens with extremely vague marketing concerning its plot in what's clearly a paycheck role for a recognizable supporting actor has me thinking that Captive State will be Kin all over again. Five Feet Apart will do fine for what it is.Let's play a game (no prices, unless you're wiling to accept one trash* indie game from my pile of humble bundle keys).

Its worldwide gross hasn't even passed Lego Batman's domestic gross.
