Which is interesting, since I was told by some stable geniuses that no one wanted to see it, and that it would be Marvel's first failure.

I'm actually pretty surprised that it would surpass the billion dollar mark. Like, it's a Marvel movie, so obviously it was going to succeed (I no longer think a Marvel movie won't make a killing ever since Guardians 1 did), but I expected it to get around the high 700 millions, especially with everyone saving up their allowances for Endgame less than two months later. Unless it's one of those things where either the controversy ("controversy" in this case) or the social elements ending up fueling everyone's interest.
