Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
$350M.
Never would’ve thought I’d see a film at $300 Million, let alone $350 million. This is a record I don’t think will be beaten anytime soon. |

Yeah, "can it top $300 million?" was the big question. Yikes.

I wonder if it can reach about 3.3 billion, which would be required to beat Avatar's inflation-adjusted gross. Adjusted for inflation endgame is currently at the 203th place: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htm I guess in a couple of years we will have movies reaching 400-500 million weekends. Given the natural increase in ticket prices due to inflation and population growth: the biggest weekend in 2006 was about 135.6 million dollars, 13 years later it is ca. 350 million (have to wait a little bit for the more precise data to come). Nothing suggests that in 10 years we cannot have opening weekends over 500 million for Avengers 8 or Star Wars 13. |
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
It needs legs to do this, we’ll see but it’ll be hard to beat.
|
To get over $2 billion it needs the repeat viewings to be high, I don't think they will be, not like IW. It's 3 hours, and the first hours quite slow and there's a lot of mixed feelings out there.

Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
I don't know, people will want to see what they missed on their trips to the toilet.

Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
I didn't believe the total number ($1.5 worldwide?) the first couple of times I heard it. Must be a record for "screens" and "showings" . Still, how many times can one person see a movie in a week...

Avengers: Endgame Box office records
While I have not seen it, "Avengers: Endgame" has set many box office records.
Here is the list, according to Box Office Mojo:
These are some crazy records; what do you think? |
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
Not really surprised. Never seen anything like this in India for a Hollywood movie. There was madness around Infinity War, but I could get a ticket at the end of the weekend. But for this one, shows are still running houseful.

Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
Avengers: Endgame is already, after only 5 days of release, the 10th biggest movie of all time Worldwide (Holy Smokes):
1 Avatar Fox $2,788.0 $760.5 27.3% $2,027.5 72.7% 2009^ 2 Titanic Par. $2,187.5 $659.4 30.1% $1,528.1 69.9% 1997^ 3 Star Wars: The Force Awakens BV $2,068.2 $936.7 45.3% $1,131.6 54.7% 2015 4 Avengers: Infinity War BV $2,048.4 $678.8 33.1% $1,369.5 66.9% 2018 5 Jurassic World Uni. $1,671.7 $652.3 39.0% $1,019.4 61.0% 2015 6 Marvel's The Avengers BV $1,518.8 $623.4 41.0% $895.5 59.0% 2012 7 Furious 7 Uni. $1,516.0 $353.0 23.3% $1,163.0 76.7% 2015 8 Avengers: Age of Ultron BV $1,405.4 $459.0 32.7% $946.4 67.3% 2015 9 Black Panther BV $1,346.9 $700.1 52.0% $646.9 48.0% 2018 10 Avengers: Endgame BV $1,342.7 $394.0 29.3% $948.7 70.7% 2019 |
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
It is going to be top 5 by next week.
The only uncertainty is whether it gets to surpass Titanic and Avatar's gross. It certainly will be the highest grossing superhero movie of all time. |

As of Wednesday, it is number 8:
1 Avatar Fox $2,788.0 $760.5 27.3% $2,027.5 72.7% 2009^ 2 Titanic Par. $2,187.5 $659.4 30.1% $1,528.1 69.9% 1997^ 3 Star Wars: The Force Awakens BV $2,068.2 $936.7 45.3% $1,131.6 54.7% 2015 4 Avengers: Infinity War BV $2,048.4 $678.8 33.1% $1,369.5 66.9% 2018 5 Jurassic World Uni. $1,671.7 $652.3 39.0% $1,019.4 61.0% 2015 6 Marvel's The Avengers BV $1,518.8 $623.4 41.0% $895.5 59.0% 2012 7 Furious 7 Uni. $1,516.0 $353.0 23.3% $1,163.0 76.7% 2015 8 Avengers: Endgame BV $1,481.1 $427.1 28.8% $1,054.0 71.2% 2019 |
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
I think it'll be #2 by the end of its run.
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
This has a strong chance to snatch avatars record. It’ll likely be at around 2 billion this weekend and 2.5 by next weekend
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
There's certainly something interesting about the phenomenon of 'event' cinema, with people who don't normally go to the cinema going for these films. My son who is not into superhero movies at all (and didn't even watch Infinity War) insisted on coming to watch Endgame, "just so I know what everyone else is talking about". I saw both Avatar and Titanic with my parents who barely ever go to the cinema. And Force Awakens was a three-generation outing.
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
My current box office prediction: domestic total 800 million, world total 2.8 billion. Thats about 35% bigger than Infinity War's box office which follows from the fact the last movie has a box office trajectory.
I think it will be a hair's breath com Avatar's gross. However, adjusted for inflation, Avatar's gross is 3.2 billion in current prices, although Avatar was helped by a weak dollar which made international box office more valuable (which is why it's international box office is so much bigger than domestic: in 2010 the dollar was 20% weaker than today so 1 billion dollars in international box office today is equivalent to 1.25 billion in 2010's exchange rates, but accumulated inflation was about 15-20% since 2010 which counters the exchange rate effect). |

Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
Well I was way wrong. $3 billion looking likely

Finally: someone takes a huge dump right in Cameron's breakfast cereal. This is officially the best timeline.

Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
As silly as it sounds, part of me is going to miss having Avatar and Titanic on top of the chart. We had an absolute madman make not one but two original* films that held the #1 spot for well over twenty years and they were such unlikely candidates as well - a 3-hour romance set during a real-life disaster and the other a sci-fi epic about giant blue cat people. Regardless of their actual quality or cultural impact, it's going to be a little disappointing to see them lose the top spot to the 22nd film in a franchise that's already generated billions upon billions under the watch of the most notoriously mono-cultural conglomerate out there.
*save your jokes about Avatar, we've heard them all before |
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
Curious that it is such long films at the top of this list. I guess some people really want to get their money's worth when they fork out for a cinema ticket.
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
I assume it's overlapping causation: high-grossing films are highly anticipated films, and highly-anticipated films are films people don't mind being long, because they want as much as they can get.
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
Depends on your definition of long, I guess. Seems like most blockbusters these days are anything between 120-150 minutes with anything going significantly over 150 being comparatively uncommon.

*save your jokes about Avatar, we've heard them all before And at the current rate it is not certain Avatar's 2.788 billion box office will be surpassed. Endgame is going at about 35% more than infinity war in the US, of we project to global gross it will be 2.750 billion, so its run might end up a little lower than Avatar. And yes, I agree it would be sad to see the 22th entry of most generic style entertainment franchise being the highest grossing movie ever. |

Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
Avatar is at 2.7 Billion Dollars.
Avengers: Endgame is at 2.5 Billion Dollars. Just another week or two and we may have a new record. :) |
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
It’s very close to call and with Aladdin coming to swallow up some box office next week, it could be very close
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
Well, corrected for inflation in movie ticket prices Titanic is still first place and made 4 billion.
|
Corrected for (North American) ticket price inflation, worldwide grosses, ranking as of
May 23, 2019: 1. Titanic (4.05 billion) 2. Gone With the Wind (3.65 billion) 3. Avatar (3.21 billion) 4. Star Wars (2.70 billion) 5. Avengers: Endgame (2.63 billion) 6. E.T. (2.33 billion) 7. The Sound of Music (2.31 billion) 8. The Ten Commandments (2.21 billion) 9. Star Wars: Force Awakens (2.15 billion) 10. Avengers: Infinity War (2.13 billion) |
It is looking like it is not going to pass Avatar:

Seeing as it's about 55 million dollars away from catching avatar is still seems moderately feasible, but not certain. We have heavy hitters coming soon which is gonna cause endgames boxoffice to drop off even harder now. The most likely shot it has at passing avatar would be re releasing it in theaters again to bump it past 2.8 billion

I just want it to beat avatar just so he can congratulate marvel again

Yes Disney could try re-releasing it to get it over Avatar's finishing line. Thing is that Disney owns Avatar too. So Disney does not want Endgame to surpass Avatar's box office because they will be able to announce Avatar 2 as the sequel of the biggest movie ever. I guess Avatar's box office record is going to last a bit longer. Well, I would only think that something very different would beat Avatar. Maybe, as the Chinese currency gets stronger and more and more people flock to theaters there, a Chinese fantasy movie about talking monkeys will beat it's record. |

So Endgame is likely to gross only about 13 million more in North America, in other regions it has already left theaters in many countries so it is not going to gross more than 70% of the remaining gross outside of North America. So, I project an additional total gross of about 40 million which means Endgame is going to finish with 2.774 billion compared to Avatar's 2.788 billion.

Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
And then this happened...
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
Yeah, it'll likely beat Avatar now it's being re released. Apparently the new footage is just a post credits thing which is a bit lame
|
But do you guys think that a couple minutes of new footage at the end of the movie is going to influence mass audience members to see it once more? Just a casual fan of the MCU so personally I can't justify committing 3 hours again for just a few minutes of footage.
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
True. I won't go and rewatch it in theatres, but the hardcores defintely will. I don't know if that will push it past Avatar though
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
For the record, I am not seeing it again in theaters.
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
I won’t be seeing it again, and I reject Endgame as canon. It’s actually all a dream in Tony Stark’s head. None of it actually happened.
But 7 minutes of additional footage (shown after the credits and out of context) and a Stan Lee tribute? If there was ever any doubts this should put an end to them. Greatest cash grab in cinema’s history, and they are aiming for that last Avatar record. |
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
I'm a bit torn on this, Avatar wasn't a great movie but it was a cinematic spectacle, it was in theaters for ages, Endgame was 2 months maybe? Avatar is still the best 3D film I've seen, Endgame was a closing chapter of a long cinematic journey in which I'd only missed 1 film in the series in theaters so it was a rewarding experience.
I say let Endgame make enough to overtake it but not by enough when you adjust for inflation, then the "debate" can continue |

Just a little more push (keeping re-releasing it in several countries plus keeping over 1,000 screens in North America) should do the trick and it will reach about 2.790 billion. |
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
Personally, I enjoyed Avengers: Endgame a lot more than I enjoyed Avatar. This isn't to say I think either film is among the heavy-hitters in-terms of artistic merit. Although, I will say I think what the Marvel Cinematic Universe has accomplish thus far has been one of the most consistent commercial spectacles I've witnessed, even if the genre itself is over-encumbered. I'd love to be surprised with a new series of films to capture everyone's attention. Currently, for a lot of movie-companies, I think they're walking in circles, repeating themselves in an attempt to capture a lost glory. This isn't anything new, of course, but it really does feel like a while since a film series has been able to breakout that didn't originate from a previous decade. Warner Bros. is trying to recapture Harry Potter with the Fantastic Beasts (and is not) ... and, before that, Warner Bros. tried to recapture Lord of the Rings with The Hobbit series (and they, kind-of, did, at least from a box office standpoint). I haven't seen the film and I know the reviews are bad, but it's be fantastic if a film like Mortal Engines was able to capture the zeitgeist, so to speak and breakout.
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
So it finally broke Avatar's nominal box office record:
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/ It think this record is going to last a while now, since the biggest box office movies usually generate 1-1.5 billion. I don't think Avatar's sequels are going to be as big as Avatar was. |
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
I would point out in terms of re-releases the number quoted for Avatar includes the taking from its own re-release the following summer that including another 20 mins of footage rather than just an east end after the credits, End Game actually surpassed its original release awhile ago.
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
If you don't think they are going to re-release Avatar ahead of Avatar 2...you're nuts. I think it will reclaim the throne.
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
The year is 2046. Avengers: Endgame has been re-re-re-re-released with a completely digital recreation of Stan Lee in one of the starring roles. It edges $496 moon dollars ahead of Avatar: Special Unobtanium Version. The war continues.
|
Re: Avengers: Endgame does the unthinkable.
The year is 2048. October 19th to be precise. The Steven Spielberg documentary Is This The Endgame For Avatar (co-produced by Netflix) has just eclipsed all other entities for gross earnings after a spellbinding opening seven weeks in which it has never once failed to accrue less than one billion moon units. Spielberg has gone on record to say he will make no more than five more features before retiring.
