I'm really underwhelmed by this trailer. After the emotional rollercoaster of Toy Story 3, this film just seems inconsequential. Yeah it's nice to see the characters (and Bo) again, but this "rescue forky" plotline isn't grabbing me.

Are there honestly people still attempting to disparage Endgame's historic BO run? People who were expecting top-tier MCU legs needed to look at Deathly Hallows II in regard to how these mega-franchise finales are more front-loaded. I said 825m-875m domestic, 2.5b-2.7b worldwide on opening Sunday, and it looks like that's going to hold. Absolutely ballistic numbers. Solidly the #2 film of all time. Not sure how anyone could attempt to spin that as a negative.

It's the truth. I'm not sure why people would be presuming JW3 is going to be a competent film. You say "Jurassic World 3 needs a marketing campaign as great as the one for the first JW". I say JW needs to be a good product first and foremost, which will in turn lend itself to a successful marketing campaign.

Jurassic World 3 needs to be more concerned with putting together a quality script and an original, surprising, engaging film, before it starts concerning itself with marketing said product. JW3 won't improve over JW2 if it's just as poor a film.

Yeah, i don't like that the scene looks like it was filmed on a soundstage. It looks so artificial
It's not obvious in the slightest

Shrek 2 is objectively the best of the series. The entire Holding Out For A Hero sequence is one of my top animated film moments.

Is John wick 1 and 2 were sort of cult favourite?

What was the last good movie that saw it's release date pushed back over two years? Anyone know?
-
Gotta get those reshoots in.... eventually.
My guess, this gets dumped on Hulu before the new April 2020 date.

Anyone calling Endgame's box office a disappointment, or anyone saying that other people are calling it a disappointment, are only doing so to poison the well. Really, I'd like to commend those nitwits as outing themselves as bottom-feeders.

You could skip IW and still enjoy EG since everything important that happened in IW is explained to you.
Likewise, you could walk of out IW, and if EG were never to be made (and thus no post-credit scene to obviously set up sequel), the story is concluded pretty definitively.

Re; Long Shot:
Film had no marketing campaign. First trailer released 2 months ago. Entire world focused on Endgame and nothing but Endgame. It's release data bounced around 2 or 3 times. The film's name was only announced 5 months ago.
You guys are reading to much into the Seth Rogen/Charlize Theron aspect. Regardless of the stars, this film wasn't going to be successful with the way it was marketed and distributed.

NFL draft had a much bigger impact than the GOT. Endgame still decimated the OW record.
Not sure how that's quantifiable, given Endgame set the preview night record during round 1, and the Friday record during rounds 2 and 3, and broke the Sunday record by more than $20 million.
I think it's fair to say that neither the draft or GOT had a quantifiable impact on Endgame.
-
General consensus among the office nerds today was that Endgame was good, entertaining, but IW was absolutely better.

The OCD in me is wondering why not November 19. Usually these November tentpoles release on the 3rd Friday of the month.
It's a free headline when they inevitably push it back one week.

I'm guessing Warner Bros had JK rewrite the script from scratch. She claimed it was completed back in December, and shooting was scheduled for this July. Now shooting is pushed back 9ish months, and release by a year. I'm glad to see they took the Mess of Grindelwald seriously.

I just produced a video analysis of the opening weekend. Feel free to tell why I'm wrong.

The Winter Soldier's score was fantastic. Bold, experimental, industrial. Shame Winter Soldier's theme never returned. Not even during his Civil War freak out.

Just got back. Was even better the 2nd time. I really preferred Dolby over IMAX (liemax)
Does Dolby (or other "premium formats") get the expanded "Shot On Imax" aspect ratios?

If one is to determine if GOT will affect Endgame's opening weekend, we must first look at how Mayweather-Pacquiao impacted AoU.
Mayweather-Pacquiao started at 9pm Eastern, with the main fight at 11pm Eastern on Saturday. GOT airs at 9pm local Eastern and Pacific on Sunday night. Per estimates, aprox 50 million people tuned in to Mayweather-Pacquiao. Let's safely assume the audience for GOT will be 20 million. Sundays as a whole are less important than Saturdays in regards to the weekend box office, especially Sunday nights, which are week/school nights.
Surveying the 3 Avengers films so far, and adding Civil War to the mix, AoU had the biggest Saturday drop off, so it's clear the fight had an impact. AoU rebounded on Sunday with the lowest drop off of all four films, indicating that for the most part audiences interested in both the film and the fight arranged their schedules accordingly. CW beat AoU by 4.5m on Saturday. AoU beat CW by 8m on Sunday. Given that it seems most of the audience was restributed rather than lost, I think it's fair to say AoU lost maybe $10 million in revenue due to the fight.
Given that GOT will have, at best, half the aprox viewership than Mayweather-Pacquiao, and since it's on a Sunday night, I can't imagine GOT will impact Endgame's domestic OW more than $5 million, or $30 million global. Peanuts. But I'm not a mathematician.

Endgame is going to clear $1b global opening, even if we remove all the countries (including China) that got to see the film on the 24th.

Endgame is a film that one needs to let sink in...... There's a phenomenal amount to absorb, and just like with IW I think people will enjoy it more and more with each rewatch.
One draw back to the otherwise fantastic marketing campaign is that since no one knows what to expect going in, the amount of shocks is overwhelming.
