I heard an early rumor that Avengers 4 (IW2) would begin five years after the conclusion of IW...that the world and the Avengers would have been dealing with the aftermath for years before being able to reverse it.
If that were the case, it would be very neat. Bringing everyone back five years later, rather than making it "like it never even happened" would maintain the high stakes of failure that the first part created and wouldn't be a story cheat.
OTOH, it would screw up the Spider-man sequel, so that won't happen.
At least not completely. They could still start Avengers 4 five years later and go through that turmoil before making it "like it never even happened."

It came from the casting call for an actress to play Scott Lang's daughter who is five years older than the current actress playing the role. It does seem like time travel will be in play because Sony still has their Peter Parker in high school movies to come.
considering that BP is the biggest non avengers superhero film, I don’t think anyone expected it to outgross Infinity War (A3) in terms of worldwide grosses.
Stateside, A3 will not outgross BP ($700mil), and will likely settle with an over/under $655mil. A3 had a $28mil fourth weekend, which is about what BP made in its fifth weekend (BP had a $40mil fourth weekend). In other words, A3 holds are not as good.
With a likely $2billion worldwide gross, that’s over 3x the box office of Justice League.

So why is BP on pace to outgross Infinity War stateside, but globally IW has greatly surpassed BP? What does being a non-avengers film have to do with that phenomenon? One of the main boosts to IW is how well it has done and continues to do in China (the second biggest global movie market) in comparison to BP's comparatively poor performance there.
BP didn’t have Deadpool and Star Wars eating into its box office like IW, regarding stateside.
Globally, IW has more appeal than BP for obvious reasons
Yes, that is true. IW is a "summer movie," which always results in more competition. That fact that it cleared up so much in its first few weeks to become one of the biggest movies in history is impressive.
The fact that BP did better stateside is likely due to the cultural phenomenon, and the great word of mouth (most, including myself, really enjoyed it). That wasn't as significant overseas, particularly in China, which drives the global market. Although, IW got good word of mouth too, as it was a great movie as well!

While Wonder Woman, last year's sociocultural phenom, succeeded in spite of the competition, all summer long.
