    I argued pages ago that Black Panther could/would outdo Infinity War in the U.S.

    Here's why -- sequels generally don't do better than the orginals from which they've spawned.

    We've seen that with all three of the Star Wars trilogies -- each Chapter 2 did ~70% of Chapter 1.

    And Age of Ultron did 73% of The Avengers.

    Not saying that Infinity War won't outdo Age of Ultron -- but it's far more likely that Infinity War will finish between Age of Ultron's $540M U.S. and The Avengers' $623M U.S. than it is to finish above $623M.

    Black Panther, however, is on track to finish above $600M and *may* finish close to/above $624M.

     

    And yeah -- as someone recently noted, BP's _in_ Infinity War, but it's not like WW's appearance in Justice League helped that film...

    The reason why Infinity War will not beat Black Panther in the domestic box office race is the May release of Deadpool2 (May18th) and SOLO (May25th). There's too much competition.

    I'm not sure if the general audience can deal with two super hero movies within three weeks?

    Infinity War was moved forward one week (April24th) to give breathing room for the SOLO movie.
