Haven't been keeping up with the latest pre-sale data but my guess is that it falls short of The Force Awakens.

Nah. Avengers 2 couldn't beat Avengers so no reason to believe this will either.

I dunno. It will be huge for sure. But if people haven't been watching Marvel movies until now why would they start here? That's the biggest difference I think.

Nah. It'll be top 5, finish somewhere around black panther. Just too much competition for infinity war to have great legs, even if word of mouth is great.

I don't think Infinity War will have the same sort of drop-off that's typical of most sequels. Infinity War is a season finale, 10 years in the making. And it's a big-enough cultural phenomenon that it might draw in new people who don't want to be left out of the conversation. I expect it to be the largest grossing MCU film.

Apparently lots of folks are interested in checking out Avengers: Infinity War, if pre-sale ticket numbers are any indication. The Marvel movie mash-up is already selling twice as many tickets ahead of its release as Black Panther did during the same time frame. Thats insane considering Ryan Cooglers film is still in the middle of its record-breaking run. Insaner still is that Avengers: Infinity War pre-sale tickets are already more than the last seven MCU films combined, including Black Panther, which likely makes up a near majority of those numbers.

I could see it topping the MCU movies for sure. But to be the highest grossing movie of all time it would need to beat Avatar, Titanic and The Force Awakens. It would need to make 500k more than the highest Marvel movie to beat TFA. To overtake Avatar it needs to make a billion more.

I think in order to be up to the 2 billion mark it needs to almost be universally appealing. The hype build up for Infinity War is huge for superhero fans but I don't know if it means anything to people who don't follow the MCU.

But hey maybe stuff like Black Panther, GOTG, etc is enough of an incentive to give it way more broad appeal than The Avengers did. I'm interested to see it. At the very least I think we're looking at 1.5-2 billion.

Prepurchase tickets are a really bad metric I've learned. It just causes a huge dropoff.

Yeah, I agree with all of those points. I think it comes in behind TFA, ultimately.

It am curious to see the difference between Black Panther and Infinity War.

I think Black Panther had this neat advantage where it used MCU build-up but it also wasn't intimidating for people who didn't care about the MCU. It was also a cultural milestone.

I think the advantage for Infinity War isn't just the build-up. It's the sheer number of franchises that are involved now. GOTG and Black Panther are both extremely popular properties now and they haven't been in a crossover movie since their releases. Then of course you've got the typical Avengers line-up and now Spider-man on top of that. That potentially has a really broad appeal.

It's all pretty unprecedented really. It's exciting. If the movie is critically acclaimed too? Damn.

Well MCU Phase 3 has had some pretty well received movies in comparison to Phase 2. Black Panther, Civil War, Homecoming, and Ragnarok were all much bigger than most of the Phase 2 films.

No, I think there are too many people like me who burnt out on superhero movies 5 years ago that aren't going to see it.

I'm not saying it's an incredibly wide opinion, but to be the highest ever then basically everyone needs to see it, and then see it a second time.
