Also the biggest breakouts of the month are faith based movies something says that this March was abandoned by regular movie-going audience.

March 2018 was abysmal. Adjusted it doesn't even make the Top 10!

April should break $1B and also be the highest grossing April ever adjusted. Should be a formality actually as the month was strong by April's standards even without Avengers.

Yep. I wonder if the abysmal March could help April more with movies looking to have great reviews or in general better potential than March this year.

I don't think April will be mediocre specially when the openers in March did badly.

Well with one day left in the month, April is currently at $977.8 million. Considering that Infinity War is probably underestimated for today and that a load of business is gonna get pushed into tomorrow, I think $1 billion April is happening.

Granted, this will of course have the effect of deflating May a bit and cause it to miss $1 billion, but I think it is also somewhat beneficial to Deadpool and Solo to give them an extra weekend of space. And Infinity War should stay above $100 million next weekend anyway.

Yeah $1b April seems to be a lock. May might still get sneak past $1b mark if IW has good legs and DP, Solo cross $300m+ each.

Well, with the summer about to end on a high note with CRA expected to get close to $40m over the Labour Day weekend (highest Labor Day ever unadjusted, 2nd all time adjusted) - the year to date should be over 10% ahead of last year.

How's the rest of the year shaping up?

September will see this year fall a little behind due to no IT sized hit (but Nun, Predator, Night School, Small Foot and Clocks should combine to a solid gross) and stop any steep decline.

October this year is much stronger with Venom and Halloween potentially combining to $300m + A Star is Born and First Man also likely hits.

November can probably match last year. The key will be Bohemian Rhapsody over performing to help fill some of the Thor shaped hole.

Then December looks to be a bit of a downer with the mishmash of genre films - but can they combine to a decent overall total? Possibly but not enough to match SWE8/Jumanji/Showman. The only saving grace may be that this year's batch start opening earlier in the month.

this just made me horny

KJ is gay again!

It seems November 2018 will fall behind 2017, but without a major live action blockbuster over 200m it could have been worse.

December shouldn’t be too down from now on out. Jumanji and Greatest Showman made a lot of money in January. I expect Aquaman, Mary Poppins and Bumblebee will not be too far behind.

Yes, this weekend took about a $100m hit due to Last Jedi opening the same weekend last year but the year is already ahead of last years full year total and Christmas should be strong - though not record breaking.

The year should end up with about $11.7B.
