  1. buried in China by opening day of F&F 10, does that happen in US? Other Int'l?
  2. $62M actual, tied 3rd best MCU second weekend decline; unless F&F786 knocks it down, easily $800MM
  3. With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 repping the best second weekend hold for a Marvel Cinematic Universe title post-pandemic at -49% with $60M+ again, forget post-pandemic, this will be 4th best 2nd weekend hold of any MCU movie: >$750M assured, should hit $800M
  4. anything less than $640M and it will set a new MCU record of sequel BO below its predecessor (BP:WF $491M less than BP)
  5. killing it in China: Saturday $9M vs $9M opening weekend, practically unheard of
  6. The weekend box office continues to be a place of haves and have-nots with Disney/Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 posting the best second weekend holds for a Marvel Cinematic Universe title post-pandemic at a great -51% with $58M. #5 overall, forget about post pandemic nonsense
  7. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Super Mario Bros Movie are lording the top spots. The Marvel Cinematic Universe threequel is seeing a $15M second Friday, -69%, for a 3-day of $54M-$55M (-54%) at 4,450 locations. The second weekend hold isn’t that far from GOTG2‘s and GOTG‘s weekend 2 of -55%, however, the former pic’s second weekend was higher at $65.2M while GOTG did $42.1M. GOTG3‘s running tally by Sunday is looking to hit $207.9M. >$300M US on tap, w/ 40/60% split >$750M WW
  8. First Thursday nearly matched GOTG2's after trailing opening weekend by 20%; even with Mother's Day, could be looking at one of the better % holds for MCU #CinemaScoreMatters
  9. >$700M but the cactus sitting or whatever wager >$750M is still up in the air
  10. will pass A-M3 WW total this weekend but will take longer to get to 2.4x production budget
  11. #259-277 Reckless: The Ghost in You Batman: Dark Knight Returns #1-4 Batman: Dark Victory #0-13
  12. ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Production Suspended After Striking Writers Picket Disney+ Series https://deadline.com/2023/05/writers-strike-daredevil-born-again-production-shut-down-1235359162/
  13. way too soon guess at final BO: $284M-289M US ($50M less than GOTG - $100M less than GOTG2); $700M-$750M WW
  14. Certainly won't do 2x opening weekend like A-M3 but will it do more like a MCU 2.7x average (thru Endgame) or a 2.3X average (post Endgame)?
  15. Deadline update: The James Gunn Marvel Studios title is spotting $47M-$48M today, including $17.5M previews, for what will hopefully be a $110M start at 4,450 theaters. One analyst tells us that dollar for dollar that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is looking a lot like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Both movies did about $37M in presales with the latter debuting to $106.1M (which was a franchise record opening) over its Friday-Sunday.
  16. Ouch, if accurate- EDIT: it wasn't, did $17.5M (including Wed IMAX trilogy) matching A-M:Q Distribution sources are telling us that Disney Marvel Studios’ final James Gunn movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, is doing around $14M in previews. As we always say, that can go higher or lower by the morning. Thursday previews kicked off at 3PM, and there were 100 Imax shows on Wednesday. Note, these figures do not come from Disney. Compare to: DS:MOM $36M, T:L&T $29M, BP:WF $28M, A-M:Q $17.5M
  17. C’mon, everyone knows Deadline is the official box office low baller and they’re at $130M. Deadline lowball secured Filmmaker James Gunn’s Marvel Studios swan song, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, is blasting off this weekend, the de facto start of the summer box office, with an eye at $250M worldwide. Of that, $110M is coming from domestic and $140M from overseas.
