How is it ouch? 200m was an absurd prediction to begin with. Need to take into account that this is a long film & it's under the Captain America umbrella and not Avengers & general interest in the MCU is fading slightly.

Disney had their tracking at $175m not $200m.

They never said $200m, some industry insiders did.

Like I said from the beginning
In order to do the 200mil+ opening weekend it needed to triple the business that TWS did and that just seemed unlikely
Captain America is not the Avengers branding

Civil War might as well be Avengers 2.5 considering the number of costumed characters involved.

You wonder if

A: The negative reception that BvS got kept some casual viewers away from theaters.
B: The month long delay from the reviews.

I am convinced that that month long wait did damage. If it had released the same week of the reviews, I think it would have gone over $200m.

Disappointing but not a failure at all, just like BvS for that matter. In fact, Disney saying it would be happy with 175m is like WB saying it would be happy with 800m total gross.

The weekend has two more days to go. It's only Saturday afternoon. There is still Saturday night, Sunday afternoon, and Sunday night to go.
