Box Office: 'Avengers: Infinity War' Superhero Fatigues To Record $106M Friday
I’m old enough to remember when Paramount/Viacom Inc.’s Iron Man knocked all of our socks off by snagging $38 million on its opening day and $102m on its opening weekend. That was back when a $102m debut was big enough to be the second-biggest non-sequel Fri-Sun launch in history, behind the $114m debut of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man. Well, ten years later, Avengers: Infinity War, the first part of a two-part story that ends the narrative begun by Iron Man, snagged $39m in Thursday previews alone and just notched a $105.967m opening day.
I'm also old enough to remember when Avengers: Age of Ultron "only" opening with $191 million led to cries of the death of the superhero movie boom and so-called "superhero fatigue."
Since then, we've had the likes of Wonder Woman, Logan, Deadpool and Black Panther scoring record-high earnings and mostly positive reviews and audience feedback. And now Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War earned a smashing $105.967 million on its opening day. That’s the second-biggest single-day gross ever, between Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($105m) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($119m).
But here’s the kicker: The MCU blockbuster earned “only” $39m in Thursday previews, or 37% of its “opening day” figure. Comparatively, The Last Jedi earned $45m (43%) of its opening day gross on Thursday, while The Force Awakens earned $57m (48%) of its opening day via advance-night previews. While Avengers: Age of Ultron didn’t break the single day/opening day record, it did score more money ($66.96m) on its “pure Friday” (sans the previews) than any movie ever. So technically, Avengers: Infinity War has the biggest Friday gross of all time.
The previous record holders were, not accounting for inflation, Jurassic World ($63.4 million), The Avengers ($62.7m), The Force Awakens ($62.119m), The Last Jedi ($59.79m), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($56.86m), Batman v Superman ($53.8m, Iron Man 3 ($53.25m), Furious 7 ($51.8m) and Black Panther ($50.6m). What this means is that not only was the Walt Disney release a big friggin deal with the hardcore fans, but it played super-super throughout the standard opening day, operating as a must-see movie for fans and a very appealing flick for general/casual moviegoers.
This may be fearmongering for the sake of “just in case” speculation, but Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice had a huge $53.8 million “pure Friday” from a $27.7m Thursday gross. Lousy reviews and poor word-of-mouth kicked in after opening day, and the advance ticket-fueled opening-30 hours gave way to a frontloaded opening weekend of “just” $166m from a $81m “opening day.” That could happen here, with the film’s potentially controversial third act and/or the assumption that it’s a fans-only affair leading to an inflated first day.
But A) that’s entirely speculation and B) a 2x multiplier from a $105.967 million opening day is still an obscene $212m opening weekend. I must note that the reviews are generally positive, and the movie does deliver on much of what it promises in a big-scale/crowdpleasing fashion. While it may not be a huge factor, the third act Wakanda sequences will help get otherwise casual moviegoers in the door. Although, amazingly, Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther is A) still playing in 1,650 theaters this weekend and B) just passed the inflation-adjusted domestic gross of Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight.
Heck, even if it ends up super-frontloaded, this could still be a Star Wars situation. All three recent Disney Star Wars flicks pulled 2-2.1x weekend multipliers but then kept on chugging after the weekend. Infinity War won’t have the advantage of an extended post-debut holiday break, but it’s not insane to presume that many casual moviegoers chose to wait out the opening weekend madness and see the film on their own schedule. If the Russo Bros’ flick ends up with $215-225 million for the weekend, even after a $105.967m opening day, there might not be a need to panic.
It won’t have much in the way of “big” competition until Deadpool 2 in three weeks. But this is all presuming that it ends up frontloading this weekend like a Twilight Saga sequel as opposed to even a more frontloaded MCU flick. Most of the signs point to a “normal” top-tier MCU multiplier. Yes, we may still be looking at a 2.5x weekend multiplier, right in line with almost every MCU flick (even Iron Man 3, which everyone now likes to bag on) save for Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191 million from an $84m Friday) and Captain America: Civil War ($179m/$75m).
Yes, that would be a $265 million debut weekend, above even the inflation-adjusted $262m launch for The Force Awakens. Infinity War has an A CinemaScore rating and a deluge of mostly positive media coverage. Heck, if it plays like the last two MCU team-ups, we’re still looking at a Fri-Sun debut of $241-$253m, which would be just over/under the $248m launch of Star Wars 7. There is no plausible “worst-case-scenario” that is remotely “not good.” Even a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II-ish multiplier ($169 million after a $91m opening day) gives Avengers 3 a $197m opening weekend.
As much as we’ve become accustomed to these MCU openings over the last six years, it really is a remarkable feat of top-tier consistency. Thor: Ragnarok earned $315 million domestic/$853m worldwide last November and we all essentially shrugged. This was partially fueled by a somewhat misleading “it all ends here” marketing campaign, and that may cause (very slight) problems down the line, but folks still showed up and mostly liked what they saw. I don’t think Avengers 4 has to deal with a Matrix Revolutions-level comedown, or maybe even a Mockingjay part 2 downturn.
I’ll go into whether the film broke the global opening weekend record (Fate of the Furious’ $542 million launch) when those numbers come in, although it has $284.5m worldwide thus far. We can talk about the long-term domestic play when we see how frontloaded the “everyone vs. Thanos” flick turns out to be. But Avengers: Infinity War has crushed the competition (save for Black Panther, which rose 4% from last Friday) and snagged (by far) the biggest “pure Friday” gross of all time. So, yeah, this is a monster triumph and one hell of a start to the 2018 summer movie season.

But my daughter wanted see black panther in the theatre just one more time first!
I spoke to a white dude and a latino dude last night who have not seen Black Panther yet. But both of them said that they needed to see it before they see Infinity War.
So those types of people are still out there too.

Outside of black panther, I typically don't see movies over and over again, but there was a lot of moving parts and pieces to this movie so with so much going on...
Also, Box Office Mojo hasn't fully updated they are weekend actuals across their entire site, but they have moved black panther past Star Wars: The Last Jedi on the worldwide gross list to #9. You usually post it so I'm not going to step on your toes, shipmate
yeah when the actual comes out tomorrow it will be adjusted and be ahead of Jedi ....
the wizard nex t ....
now the next hurdle after that will be the 1.4 bill club & ultron ...
thats asking a bit much but lets c if that slow burn continues...
The foreign money for BP is really low (compared to the other movies on the list). I'm thinking it might not have even been shown in alot of places overseas yet.
If I'm right, when it does it might just zoom up that ladder into top 5 territory
Nah, it's been released everywhere. The foreign box office run for Black Panther is pretty much over. Movies usually make more overseas than domestic, but it wasn't the case for Black Panther. Same thing happened with The Dark Knight ($534M Domestic, $469M foreign) and Rogue One ($532M, 523M).
I don't know what your talking about Black Panther did some decent numbers overseas especially with China at $105 Million. Overseas it did what most Marvel Solo Movies do overseas. Its only the avenger movies (Part 1 and Part2) That have preformed better than black panther. but again you can't really compare Avengers to Solo Movies. Mix Superhero movies are going to do better than solo movies as they draw more people in.
Also by the way, I think black panther can pass harry potter for the number 8 spot. Only needs $8 Million for dollars.
yeah it`s official ......#9....
da wizard up next ....
Always bet on black. #WesleyTaughtMe
