Literally none of the 100 movies on that list came close to grossing anywhere near $100 million domestic. Show me a list exclusively of films that grossed $100 million or more, and made more than 50% or their domestic total opening weekend. Here's a hint. It's: # 1. 50 Shades of Grey # 2. Valentine's Day # 3. Batman v. Superman # 4. Watchmen # 5. Paranormal Activity 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an after-thought. 3 hours ago, Gatsby77 said: Agreed - but RJRJR specifically questioned whether Infinity War will "double its first week" by the end of its domestic run. I mis-read that as "weekend" and checked the usual suspects -- including those you mentioned. I legit thought it would be Harry Potter 8 -- which was legendary at the time for how fast it fell. It lost 72% in its second weekend -- from $169 million to just $47 million -- that's $120 million worse in second frame. _Still_ was the # 1 film of the year. Nope -- turns out I was wrong -- BvS had worse overall legs. Here's a hint. You were going down the right path with Harry Potter 8 with the few you called out. But 'Fault In Our Stars' beat it based on your new criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude - that's "front-loaded first weekends," as in "greatest fall from Friday to Sunday of its first weekend." Try again, but comparing "first weekend gross" to "final gross." (i.e., compare column 2 to column 3. Column 1 doesn't matter). In other words, look at films that grossed >$100 million (i.e., "hit films") where column 2 (first weekend gross) was >50% of column 3 (total domestic gross). Harry Potter 8 doesn't fit -- $169/$381 = 44%. Neither does Fault in Our Stars -- $48/$124 = 38% Paranormal Activity 3 (# 20 above) does fit, as $52.5/$104 = 50.5%. The film made more than 1/2 its domestic gross its opening weekend. But it's beaten by the four other films I listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you first stated 'least leggiest movie' and noted it as BvS, which was shown to be incorrect, then we narrow down the criteria to >$100M domestic. Then when you are shown those that truly were least leggiest because the bulk of their box office was the opening weekend, that doesn't work. You should stick to your hate-on. That works better.

Bosco685 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 If there was ever any doubt Infinity War is going to break $2B worldwide... Quote It looks like Avengers: Infinity War is about to smash yet another box-office milestone. According to a new report, the sequel has been granted a rare theatrical extension in China that will urge its worldwide gross beyond $2 billion. Deadline’s latest piece reports Avengers: Infinity War has been given a 30-day extension in China. The film will have an extra month to rake in box-office bucks, and the blockbuster has already grossed $360 million in China to date. This is the third theatrical extension Disney has secured as Coco and Zootopia enjoyed similar treatment; However, this is the first MCU title to enjoy the added time. Thanks to the latest films falling hard, it looks like China needed to fill the void with something more meaningful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 $30M more and it crosses the $2B mark. Easy-peasy with the way this is cooking along, AND China extending the box office schedule by 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Cataldo Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) 11th time for me tonight. I still find myself smiling, somber, emotional, joyful and more when watching this. I still get goosebumps when Thor shows up to the final battle and does the jump-slam with the hammer. I just don't see how any comic book fan could not love this movie. It's a living, breathing comic book. My favorite sequence is the Titan Dr.Strange/Thanos battle segueing into the Iron Man/Thanos battle. Perfection.
