I was going to say under 35 and then I remembered I was old
I hope it's Star Wars. I just saw Avengers, and you know what? Fuck that movie. Fuck it. Fuck that piece of shit gimmicky, no sense, ridiculous, pointless, illogical garbage. I have seldom been so angry about the so-called high point of a franchise. This movie is the equivalent of dangling car keys in front of a child and hoping the child doesn't notice that the world is on fire. It's three hours of dumb jokes and scenes that go on way too long glued together that don't add up to anything and that torpedo the entire damn plot. It was actually insulting, and their attempt at hand-waving their own bullshit is pathetic. How did this crap get good reviews? Good fucking grief.
...and this is coming from one of the most agreeable viewers in the world.
So yeah, I want Star Wars - a franchise run by people who don't think their viewers are morons - to win this race. By twelve parsecs (ha bloody ha).

I respect your opinion, @CommanderRaytas but you're gonna have to accept you're kind of in the minority here. Rotten Tomatoes has this film on 96% and even Metacritic rates it as "generally favourable". Mark Kermode (British film reviewer who is notorious for his rants about Star Wars, Marvel and DC) admitted it made him cry, twice.
As for Star Wars, I think Rian Johnson thinks we are morons, and his film has more or less ruined the new trilogy for me.

Thank you.Fair enough. Your opinion counts, and more power to you if you liked the movie. I don't give a crap about Rotten Tomatoes, though. What critics say means zilch to me. I honestly hated this thing, and I'm usually a bubbly fangirl. This franchise is dead to me.
Common join the mouse dark side. Imagine what Disney could do for Star Trek!

US weekend box office is over $358m (that’s more than $100m more than Infinity War which was the record set last year) and it could still go up as more tickets are counted....

Not only that, but if the film maintains a strong run for a couple of months, there's a good chance it'll reach Avatar's record.
And it's official: $1.2 BILLION worldwide opening with $350 million of it in the U.S.!
I can certainly see a significant drop in the second weekend. I imagine there will be a fair number of people who will watch a particular film and then go watch Endgame again in the theater. I'm definitely one of those people.
I mean Iron Man. That's going to be rough to watch again. The whole trilogy, too.
I want to see it again in IMAX.
Yeah, same here. It's a little out of the way for me and I don't have a car, so I'm going to have to figure something out...but it needs to be done.
The Marvel ship sailed for me after first Avengers film.
Don't hold back-tell us how you really feel.
I enjoyed the first avengers film as it was the first of it's kind and was fresh and entertaining. The wheels fell off for me with age of ultron and iron man 3, both of which I thought were dreadful films. I walked out of the theatre saying 'I'm done with these movies' - but I was curious to see infinity war so I gave it a chance and thought the quality had been restored and then some with this. It is a simply outrageous blockbuster movie. I'm looking forward to watching endgame now.
