So ... with Disney at 904.7 million domestic (as of 4/16) already this year, likely low weekly drops for Black Panther in the lead up to Infinity War, marathons, fan events, and record pre-sales ... there is an extremely slight chance they could break the billion dollar mark by the end of the Thursday night shows. It's sure to do it by the time the Friday results are in, dropping the 'Fastest to a Billion' record from 128 days to 117.

I am leaning to Saturday being the day they breat the 1 billion mark. However I am confident that Infinity War and Solo combined will top a billion in North America so forget 1 billion, the question should be can they break 2 billion by June 14? I am starting to think they will based on the number of forecasts predicting Infinity War breaking 250 million opening weekend and Solo 150 million.

A couple things- I’m not sure why I can’t find this, but does anyone know what movie holds the record for highest grossing Thursday?

Also, this was probably because of the film coming out in other countries first, but the review embargo for Black Panther was lifted on February 6th, a week and a half before the film came out in the US. While I get that Disney/Marvel wants spoilers to be leaked at an absolute minimum, I feel like they want maximum hype, and Black Panther had that with the great reviews coming out before the film.

To answer my own first question, The Force Awakens currently holds the record for Thursday night previews at $57 million.

If Infinity War doesn't cross the mark on Friday it's going to be barely short. The 4/18 numbers came in and thy're at 905.4. By end of 4/26 if Black Panther stays with it's drops it should be at 681 (or it could rally at high as 685), Wrinkle will probably top out at 94, and there will be 137-138 from the 2017 hold overs. That gets us to 912-917, only 83-88 total from all the movies needed that Friday. Avengers did 80.8 (91.3 adjusted) and Age of Ultron did 84.4 (90 adjusted), so that seems within striking range.

The 2 billion mark is going to be interesting! I remember seeing more that one source mentioning that Disney could cross 2 billion before another studio crossed 1 billion. And looking at the next closest studios, that very well may be the case. By the end of May if Infinity War tracks between the previous Avengers movies, and Solo does ... 85% of Rogue One they should be near 1.75 billion domestic; both over performing it could be 1.85 billion and they could cross 2 billion by June 14th with good holds.

The only studio with a blockbuster before the end of May is Fox with Deadpool 2, and they have a while to go it hit a billion right now.

Just think what Disney. Fox and Fox Searchlight will be at by the end of June. I would be shocked if they weren't at 3 billion. That is why as a citizen and consumer I am against the merger even though as a stockholder I favor it.

The Russos want Avengers 4 to be longer than Infinity War. IW is over 2 1/2 hours, so I wonder if it’s possible to see one that’s just under 3 hours.
