Avengers: Infinity War (4/27/18) D: The Russo Bros.
*Iron Man / Captain America romance finally develops
*Reveal that gamma radiation was part of Hulk’s gender transition therapy
*Ant-Man begins smuggling Asgardians into America, Iron Man builds a border wall
*Black Widow nude scene

The asterisk here is that when films chart this high on tracking, it becomes hard to predict their opening, and we also have to remind you of the cap that April has: its record $100M-plus weekends of Furious 7 ($147M) and Fate of the Furious ($98.7M) occurred over Easter holiday weekends, while The Jungle Book popped to a $103.2M during the middle of the month. Only 5% K-12 and 4% colleges are off during the April 27-29 opening weekend for Infinity War, but school never stopped the kids from fueling a record weekend at the box office. Furthermore there were slightly more schools on break on Infinity War‘s original weekend of May 4 (2% K-12 and 16% colleges per ComScore).

It looked really good!
IMAX is about 45 min away from me, so I don't get there often. But I might have to go see this on IMAX after seeing the trailer.
In comparison, IW has two weeks alone before films like SOLO and DP2 drop. The legs on BP have been insane, with very few comps, and by comparison IW, although it may open higher, won't have that staying power. I can maybe see it clearing $500-550, but BP will win overall domestically. Overseas, IW should clean up to higher grosses.
And so happy my Marvel Legends Infinity Gauntlet finally shipped and should be here Monday. Contemplating wearing it to the movie.
