Any-Man was a weaker film based on everything I have heard. If this one did not hit that then something would be majorly wrong.
Obviously it's no surprise that DS brought in Ant-Man #'s, but how quickly it did. Very low 2nd weekend drop compared to recent superhero films. Should be able to pass Winter Soldier at this rate.
DS is showing in less theaters than WS, so that could hurt it's $, but I actually think it's going to gain money from the fact that everyone wants to see it in 3-D or Imax because they've heard it's visually exciting. I have a feeling it'll end somewhere between Thor 2 & Cap WS which will be a huge success.
this is a safe bet. a little more optimistic would be between Cap WS and GOTG. looks like the current trajectory is very close to Cap WS. $240-250MM domestic, $460-475MM Int'l.
Will be around 185 dom & 400 Int by Sunday. There's another 15 - 20 between Argentina Nov 24th & Japan Jan 27th also. I can't see how it doesn't reach WS. Maybe if they pull it from China & South Korea after Moana comes out next week. Ant-Man only made it 3 weeks in China & still brought in 105+.
DS has 4 more weeks before Star Wars dominates theaters. I thought it would do better domestically than it has. Right now I'd say 230 - 240 Dom & around 500 Int. Definitely a success.
