Unless it bombs with the critics (which I highly doubt), then it is going to make some cash. Not sure if will catch Titanic or Avatar, but I see it going North of $2 bil. I plan to take the family to see it in imax. However I am having trouble getting tickets opening weekend because they are all already sold out!
It is insane!

Is this another one of those action hero films, which manage to have no politics and therefore are great for the Chinese market, and have a lot of fighting and action and you don't need to think for 2 hours, also great for the Chinese market?
From what I've read, the Marvel movies have done pretty well in China. Avengers: Age of Ultron made over $240 million there. And it looks like Deadpool 2 isn't going to be playing in China, so it won't have that competition.

Oh totally.
In fact the Chinese market is changing what is happening in US movie making. Because they can make so much money from the Chinese market for certain types of movies, they're pumping them out like crazy.
Fast and Furious and Comic hero movies especially.
But yes, China seems to love those movies.

Well, the Fast and Furious movies were making a bunch of money even without China, I think. I don't understand why, but I think that's the case.
In week one it make $725 mil. Expect a very similar week 2. Same time next week I expect the movie to be close to $1.5 bil. The following weekend it opens in China. I expect the movie to be close to $2 bil by week 3.
Crazy how much Marvel movies can make.

I still think $2 billion is a bit out of reach. While Infinity War beat The Force Awakens' opening weekend numbers, I think that Infinity War will lose numbers a bit more quickly once Deadpool 2 comes out. TFA was the #1 movie in its fourth weekend, but I don't think Infinity War will outdo Deadpool 2.
Infinity War does definitely have a shot, though, with such a huge opening weekend. If it can maintain pretty well for the next couple of weeks, and especially if it goes over well in China, it might yet hit $2 billion.
It's not going to come anywhere near Avatar, though. I still don't understand why that movie made so much money, but I think it's out of reach until ticket prices go up a bit more.

I think the majority of people running out to see DP 2 are people that already seen A3 like me. At this pace (as of Wed $860 bil), A3 should be over the $1 bil mark by Friday. A3 should easily pull in $600 bil worldwide this weekend. Then in week 3 it opens in China.

lots of older looking kids these days....Children's movies tend to take in the dough
i have his first 10 i believe....what was 4 going for?...lots of older looking kids these days....Children's movies tend to take in the dough
What in the world... your avatar! I just bought a group of X-O Manowar books off eBay including #4 the first appearance of Shadowman.
So I thought I'd take a look at how long Avatar was out, to see if that was part of the reason it was able to make so much money. Wow, it was out for 34 weeks. That seems like an eternity by today's movie standards. Titanic was worse, having been in theaters for 41 weeks. By comparison, The Force Awakens, which is #3 all-time in earnings, was only out for 24 weeks.
Titanic made another $20.5 million in weeks 25-41 domestically. I can't track the foreign totals by week on box office mojo. Avatar made only about $650,000 in weeks 25-34 domestically.
I wish I could see the weekly foreign box office numbers. I'd like to know how much of Titanic's and Avatar's revenue came after the 24 week mark.

It is at $1.2 Bil worldwide as of Monday. $1.5 Bil is not out of the question, but a stretch by Friday.
This weekend should also be a massive one. No real competition and opening in China where they are seeing record sales.

I say it hits $1.4 Bil by Friday and add amount $400 mil over the weekend.
My guess is it wimpers passed Force Awakens and falls short of Titanic

It's looking like Infinity War will get to $2 billion, although it might just barely get there.
