I'd rather expect it to make much less (think Ant-Man #'s) and then be pleasantly surprised. There is no extra special prize films get for being predicted to do huge #s, only the actual #s matter. And it is "better",in film-land, for movies to do better than predicted than to fail to meet expectations (even if those expectations are unreasonably high. )
For this film, if it is pretty good (which is kind of a given, given Marvel's creative track record and the cast/crew involved) it should do OK. If they have hit it out of the part, creatively, then there is a lot of upside potential in response to good word of mouth. And that will play into to the "it's doing better than expected narrative, which will just fuel higher ticket sales.
Personally, I'm just looking forward to "a good story well told" from this film. ANything else is gravy.
Have a lovely day - John Finnemore
