If it had come out during the summer or over the Christmas holiday season it would have gotten there quicker. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

That's actually a good point. It does seem like Disney took a risk releasing this movie in February, normally a weak month. Traditionally the three worst months to open a movie have been October, January, and February. Upcoming Fri, May 4, 2018 Avengers: Infinity War Fri, Jul 6, 2018 Ant-Man and the Wasp Fri, Feb 16, 2018 Black Panther Fri, Apr 4, 2014 Captain America: The Winter Soldier Fri, May 1, 2015 Avengers: Age of Ultron Fri, May 2, 2008 Iron Man Fri, May 3, 2013 Iron Man 3 Fri, May 4, 2012 Marvel's The Avengers Fri, May 5, 2017 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Fri, May 6, 2016 Captain America: Civil War Fri, May 6, 2011 Thor Fri, May 7, 2010 Iron Man 2 Fri, Jun 13, 2008 The Incredible Hulk Fri, Jul 7, 2017 Spider-Man: Homecoming Fri, Jul 17, 2015 Ant-Man Fri, Jul 22, 2011 Captain America: The First Avenger Fri, Aug 1, 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy Fri, Nov 3, 2017 Thor: Ragnarok Fri, Nov 4, 2016 Doctor Strange Fri, Nov 8, 2013 Thor: The Dark World Thu, May 16, 2002 Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones Wed, May 19, 1999 Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Thu, May 19, 2005 Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith Wed, May 21, 1980 The Empire Strikes Back Wed, May 25, 1977 Star Wars Wed, May 25, 1983 Return of the Jedi Fri, Dec 15, 2017 Star Wars: The Last Jedi Fri, Dec 16, 2016 Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Fri, Dec 18, 2015 Star Wars: The Force Awakens Black Panther was originally intended to be released in November 2017, the date for Thor: Ragnarok, but because of the inclusion of Spider-Man: Homecoming. That meant six Marvel movies in 14 months. So Panther was pushed to February. Fri, Jul 6, 2018 Ant-Man and the Wasp Fri, May 4, 2018 Avengers: Infinity War Fri, Feb 16, 2018 Black Panther Fri, Nov 3, 2017 Thor: Ragnarok Fri, Jul 7, 2017 Spider-Man: Homecoming Fri, May 5, 2017 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Fri, Nov 4, 2016 Doctor Strange |

It was supposed to open May 4, now it's coming April 27. Usually the first weekend in May marks the official start of the summer movie season. Guess it's starting a week earlier this year. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Disney has no control over opening day for Deadpool 2 which is a Marvel character controlled by Fox studio. Deadpool #2 is opening 18 May 2018. They had to move up Infinity War by a week so that they have three full weeks before the competition starts. Fox has not had as much luck turning their Marvel characters into billion dollar movies, but Deadpool has been their most successful effort to date. If Disney takes over Fox they will own the characters again. Millions $783.1 Deadpool 2016 $747.9 X-Men: Days of Future Past 2014 $619.0 Logan 2017 $543.9 X-Men: Apocalypse 2016 $459.4 X-Men: The Last Stand 2006 $414.8 The Wolverine 2013 $407.7 X2: X-Men United 2003 $373.1 X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2009 $353.6 X-Men: First Class 2011 $330.6 Fantastic Four (2005) 2005 $296.3 X-Men 2000 $289.0 Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer 2007 $179.2 Daredevil 2003 $168.0 Fantastic Four 2015 |
