Saturday/Sunday numbers are going to be fun to watch. It's still not a lock for $180M and depending on how frontloaded it is over the weekend that is a bit worrying. Maybe general audiences looked at as being more of a sequel to AOU than anything else and just weren't that interested, especially after the lukewarm WOM it received.

With the expected WoM this will get I think it has a good chance to do $180m OW just but that's still well below AoU.

Bye BvS!

Civil War should've done 80+. Legs will probably be better than Ultron but it's funny how big expectations got the past few weeks.

Not a big factor but there are pirated versions of the movie days before the release here.

Looks like TJB will avoid a 50% drop which is great all things considered. Its in serious contention to take over Deadpool now.

Deadpool is looking to be the most impressive superhero movie performance of the year unless Suicide Squad opens to $150-$160M and does $350-$400M domestic.

Which it won't. $200m tops for SS.

SS will be fucking huge if it's good. The breath of fresh air the world has been waiting for.

Well now we know it will disappoint if Excel is behind it.

SS does look good but we'll see how it goes with reviews. After all, Excel isn't always right all the time.

I find the number very good. Expectations just got too high following the buzz around Spider-Man (and Fandango's report). Also, in general, it seems that expectations for opening weekends have gotten a bit too optimistic after Jurassic World/Star Wars. $200 million is still likely to be incredibly difficult to hit for a couple more years.

In the end, this isn't an Avengers film, even with most of them represented. One of my closest friends isn't too interested in Civil War because "it's a Captain America film" (he didn't want to see it this weekend), and he's a pretty big Marvel fan, having seen all of them except for Winter Soldier on opening weekend.

Great number for Civil War. Doubling CA3 over the OW is huge and its total gross will land within realistic expectations (prior to the last few weeks) or slightly higher.

Agreed. Expectations were way too high in recent weeks.

The fact that this is doubling Winter Soldier's OW is amazing. Never been done before at these BO heights for a second sequel.

A crushing blow to the Youtube tracking industry.

I am going to have to respectfully disagree with the two of you. This is CA in name only. Iron Man and Spider-Man have been present in all of the advertisements to raise awareness for this movie. I saw bus stop ads with AntMan and Falcoln is the vs poster that has been making the rounds. This has been touted as an Avengers-like movie. In my opinion it is the best Avengers movie, but it may be fighting the worse than thought Ultron WOM, or the dreaded superhero fatigue people trot out every few years

Yeah, the doubling of Winter Soldier's opening doesn't mean anything given the hype, cast and addition of Spider-Man.

Gitesh is saying 60m Saturday.

Sadly I have to agree. If this didn't have Iron Man/Spider-Man than yes these numbers would be amazing, but the truth is that it wasn't sold solely as CA3 even though the movie itself is very much a sequel to TWS more than anything. It also had much better marketing/reviews than AOU aswell.

That would be a 20% increase from the Friday (minus previews) and a small 20% drop from overall Friday. If it follows AoU's 11% Sunday drop it would get to $189m OW.

60-61m Saturday on Deadline, just behind Iron Man 3's 62m.

Jesus, you people. So it doesn't mean anything this is a CA movie and the fact it will double TWS opening because it's basically Avengers movie, but considering it's not beating but probably matching Ultron opening (who did have an official Avengers moniker which helps a lot), it's an disappointment also?

No pleasing you people at all. And you are all deluded. Doubling TWS opening is an awesome feat. It did help that this was the first Marvel movie post Ultron and the fact it features additional characters from MCU (hence the huge improvement over TWS opening, but also TWS was a crowdpleaser and some rise can be attributed to that too), but the fact is it's named Captain America and this is a Captain America movie.

And you can pull the same argument for every following Marvel movie that is not the official Avengers entry that it's basically Avengers lite considering how interconnected these all have become. But that still won't make them an Avengers movie.

That would be fucking fantastic. Should get to $183-188 million over the weekend with a $60-61 milion Saturday. Fifth-best Saturday ever after the 8th-best Friday. A $185+ million opening weekend is enough to keep it in the race for a $500+ million total.

I think it can do as good as Ultron on Sunday which would get it to $189m-$190m.

The opening is not disappointing, yet, as Magnus hjas said, _axiom insisting that this is just another Captain America film is moronic.

Also, for the sake of correctness, it is Marvel's second film post-Ultron. Ant-Man came before.
