Good afternoon Disney friends,
Another weekend with the same result, Black Panther is again the number one film for the fifth straight weekend. With an estimated gross of $27 mil stateside, the film will cross the $600 mil threshold by end of business today. Here are some of the company the film is in:
1. It is only the 3rd film in the last 19 years to be #1 for 5 straight weeks. The other 2 were Avatar and The Sixth Sense.
2. It is the 2nd fastest film to $600 mil behind Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
3. It had the 4th highest 5th weekend behind Avatar, Titanic, and Frozen.
4. It is now the 7th highest grossing domestic film of all time.
5. It is now the 14th highest grossing film worldwide.
The House of Mouse also has the number four film of the weekend with A Wrinkle in Time, which is currently the number five film for the year. This film will have a slow international rollout between now and mid-June.
Also, this weekend saw the release of the new Avengers: Infinity War trailer. First, this film has already broken records. In 6 hours, it broke the record (set by Black Panther) for ticket presales. I have watched the trailer and now I am going to go nerd. If you go back and watch Avengers: Age of Ultron, there is a scene where the different members of the group are trying to pick up Thor's hammer. When Captain America gets to try, he does not pick it up, but it does budge a little bit. This is where I am going with that--in the latest trailer, he is actually in a fight with Thanos and he is actually holding his own--just an interested observation--it could mean nothing or it could mean everything.
Thank you for allowing me time to share my thoughts with you and I hope you have a magical week.
