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.

Well, I was thinking that it would be interesting if it beats Avatar (not corrected for inflation)'s 2.8 billion. Biggest weekend ever was pretty much a given at this point. I think it can beat Avatar's nominal gross considering it made 1.2 billion globally in only 5 days.

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.

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.

I don't know, people will want to see what they missed on their trips to the toilet.

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...

They might hit 2 before Friday, the issue is 3, if it manages a single multiple it'll hit 2.4. We'll see what the Endgame drop off is

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?

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.

Well, I still think it's a bad movie: I want my $12 dollars back and, by the looks of these records, they can afford it.

I am not going to watch it in theaters but I am excited just watching its box office performance.

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.

I don't know why people say the first hour is slow. It gets through important plot points at an even place while making plenty of room for character development when the durectors had no obligation to put character development in a movie made to end the hype and appeal to fanfare. It's a lot more than just the fanservice front that's easy to get bothered by. I would even say it's one of the ten greatest movies I've ever seen.

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
