I was going to wait but the first real projections have come through from Deadline. deadline.com/2018/04/avengers-infinity-war-marvel-disney-global-box-office-preview-1202375350/"Tracking has it ranging from $216 million-$235 million, which on the high end would be the second-best domestic start of all time beating Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($220M). Some believe the movie has the power to get to $275M, an opening that would best Star Wars: The Force Awakens‘ all-time record ($247.9M) by 11%. Still, even if this film sinks to the high-$100Ms, which no one is really expecting, Marvel’s platinum records haven’t tarnished. As for overseas, industry sources are pegging the bow from $256M-$263M with some also seeing it reach $275M. Outside the $275M predictions, the domestic and international ranges equal a global bow from $472M-$498M — $500M-plus does not appear out of the question. If it hits the low end of that worldwide range, it would rank as No. 5 all time; on the high end, it lands at No. 4. We’ll gauge the bigger predictions as play starts to roll." If it opened to $275 million that'd be comfortably over The Force Awakens even in 2018 money.

It deserves it. This movie was way harder to make than TFA and had a better build up.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

it probably needs 50m in Thursdays previews for a chance at the record

I can't see it breaking any records after those reviews. I'm certainly not going to rush out to see it.

First of all, most of the reviews are really positive and 87% is a pretty high score. And even if the score wasn’t that high it wouldn’t matter because most people don’t get on RottenTomatoes.

These movies are generally speaking, overrated. 7.6/10 is probably more like 6.6/10 and that isn't good enough to make me want to shoehorn myself into a packed cinema, next to a bunch of sweaty nerds with personal hygiene issues, fucking around on their iphones and talking too loudly for 3 hours. I'll wait a week or so.

Innit? Ugh. The only thing worse than going to the cinema is going on opening weekend. It's just fucking unpleasant for the reasons you mentioned. How much does it cost to see a movie where you live? It's outrageous where I am now. I used to go to the movies 2-3 times a month when I lived in northeastern Pennsylvania, where everyone is poor and the pizza is delicious and the movies are cheap AF, but my personal theater attendance has plummeted in the last few years.

Or is it with your particular theater, like AMC or Cinemark or whatever?

Pretty sure this will outgross the first Avengers when all is said and done.

But you left out: Overgrown manchildren noisily slurping and munching junk food and making all sorty of smelly and/or annoying sounds, and as a climax have to releave themselves during the second and third act several times, and then asking what they have missed.

I would have gone as far as saying over $700 million which it could still do just so long as people like the movie. The reviews are good but if it starts to fall under 80% then it might start to have an affect.
