‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Heads To Monster $225+ Million Opening Weekend
In case you haven’t heard, “Avengers: Infin- ity War” is heading towards an opening weekend that could end all opening weekends.
The Marvel superhero adventure is eyeing a debut weekend of $225 million to $245 million, with a possibility of even crossing the $250 million mark.
If numbers reach the end of that range, “Infin- ity War” could have one of the biggest debuts of all time. The hefty launch should go a long way to justify its wildly expensive price tag of somewhere from $300 million to $400 million.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): It’s easy to see the dark side of life today because for many, their glass is half empty. (Yes, this is the same glass that is half full.) This means that there is a tendency to take a gloomy point of view of things and think that life is worse that it is.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Someone older or more experi- enced might discourage you today, or perhaps they are critical of you in some way? (Well, you need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Don’t take this personally. Obviously, avoid these discussions if you can.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): This is a poor time to make your pitch to a boss or parent. Do not choose this time to ask for approval or permission. If you do, their response will be, “Talk to the hand.” In truth, everyone is inclined to be critical and a bit negative. Timing is everything. Choose another day.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid controversial subjects like politics, race or religion because they will deteriorate into negative, nasty dis- cussions. Nobody needs this. Basically, people are negative thinking today. Instead, use this energy to study hard because your mind is sharp.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Discussions about how to divide or share something might disappoint you. People are not generous. Everyone is inclined to see the dark side of life during this period, which makes them want to hold onto everything. Tomorrow is a better day for these kind of exchanges.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Relations with a close friend or part- ner are difficult today because people are depressed, pessimistic and certainly critical! Who needs to be criticized? Don’t take anything per- sonally. Everyone feels a bit lonely or cut off today or worried. Is it spores in the air?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many people might be depressed or a bit negative today. However, you can use this energy to work hard because your mind is very sharp and critical. Focus on details. Make tough decisions, but don’t be so tough you forget to be kind because kindness is the most important thing.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Children might be an increased responsibility. Social occasions might feel like an obligation or just too much work. Romantic relationships will also be strained or depressed. (Yikes!) Fear not — this is just a passing dark cloud on your horizon.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Family discussions might be strained because it’s tough dealing with parents and authority figures at home, or the landlord. If you can avoid these encounters, do so. This is a temporary glitch. Things are fine.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might worry too much or fall into a phase of negative thinking. You might be critical of others or someone might be critical of you. Look for an opportunity to practice a kindness — a small gesture — or maybe something big, because this will immediately make you feel better.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Your finances might look bad. Too much month left at the end of the money! Actually, a lot of people feel this way. They feel broke, unloved, insecure and a bit uneasy. “I’m navel lint!” This feeling will be gone by tomorrow. Whew!
Aries (March 21-April 19): Your critical faculties are sharp and you want to get a lot done. However, it will not be easy communicating to others, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. This includes the police. You might put a negative spin on things. Easy does it.
