Was that blond chick that flirts with Cap but never bones him in this?

Poor bastard really needs to get laid. It's been what, like 80 years? Assuming he wasn't still a virgin when he got frozen?

Bruce has been off-world for a few years, Steve and Nat have been on the run from the law crashing in seedy hotels together and he grew a magnificent beard. It’s safe to say Cap is getting some.

Does Dr. Strange have a girlfriend? Or does his cape do that for him?

can someone post a spoiler and tell me if Wong survived the snap? thanks!

Spoiler:

I assume yes he survived as they didn't cut to a scene with him at all. No fading scene, so still alive. I would guess.

One thing I did notice was how old everyone looked. It's been a long 10 years.

Wow it looks like IW is going to fall only 4-6 million short of beating TFA opening.

That’s pretty embarrassing if I was Feige I wouldn’t show my face come monday.

Star Wars (before TLJ) is still King!

I'd be embarrassed too if my movie couldn't outperform The First Avenger.

?? Is that sarcasm??

If not, I think the opposite. That's rather impressive. That's higher than the projections. TFA is the all time leader at $248, while IW was expected to do $210 (Marvel's) to a high of $236. So it is exceeding the estimates.

Plus Star Wars most likely still has broader mass appeal worldwide than the MCU. And TFA was the 1st SW movie in 10 1/2 years, while IW is movie #18 in a 10 year run. Marvel is bound to have some viewer fatigue, where SW had 10 years of build up and anticipation to something all new.

Marvel's IW domestic opening weekend will out gross DC's JL TOTAL domestic Box Office gross ($229,024,295)....

Now that's embarrassing....

I'm pretty sure IW will have a bigger global opening.

Saw this opening night and loved it, but I do have one question from a continuity standpoint that I don't think anyone has mentioned:

Spoiler:

When Thor, Rocket and Groot go to get Stormbreaker forged, PD's dwarf character explains how Thanos forced him to make the gauntlet, then killed everyone else once he did so. He's also PO'd at Thor, as he'd pledged to protect them (I'm assuming they belonged to one of the 9 realms). Given that we saw Thanos with the gauntlet in an end credits scene way back for Age of Ultron, when exactly did Thanos do this? Seems likely that eventually word of this would have reached Asgard or Heimdall would have noticed something was amiss. Did anyone else wonder about this?

Yes Nidavellir was part of the 9 realms.

Good point. Didn't really think about that. But...

Spoiler:

perhaps it was happening simultaneously to the events of Hela's return as Thor Ragnarok runs right into IW and Thanos already had the gauntlet with the Power Stone. And that would have occupied Heimdall's concentration from not seeing it happening and obviously stopped Asgard from responding.

As far as the end credit scene, remember there was also a gauntlet in Odin's vault on Asgard that was a "fake" as Hela so eloquently put it. Perhaps the one we see him with was just a template created by him, but he needed Eitri & the Dwarves to forge the true gauntlet in order for it to be indestructible and capable of withstanding the power of the infinity stones.

Spoiler:

I agree, the logical explanation for Thor & Heimdall being unaware is that this occurred at the same time as Ragnarok. But it does seem that a bit of retconning (such as your template theory) is required to explain away the AoU end credits scene. Not a big deal IMO, as it's not contradicting anything that was actually IN one of the earlier movies.

AoU takes place after Thor 2, where Loki became Odin. Plus Thor went somewhere else after AoU and didn't come back 'till Ragonrock, at which point we learn that Skurge is the Bifrost guard and Heimdall was on the run. So all in all the continuity is fine.
