If EG couldn't get an extension because of local bias, wouldn't that severely hamper the legs and supposed might of Avatar 2 in China? (Not turn go off-topic, but I find it interesting that there is a supposed cap on how well a movie can do in China if this is accurate).
It wouldn't be a good look from either Disney or Marvel to do a literal public announcement/celebration. I would think Feige is above that kind of pettiness.
They also threw out the thread with Keaton knowing his identity. Both the mid credits and ending from Homecoming were concepts/consequences that were trashed.
Yeah the record is done, only a matter of time now. This will close naturally to under 10m in even a worst case scenario and there's no way Disney will let it die there.
If they are 10 short around Labor Day, they just need a strong theater count (true re-release) for that weekend DOM and a mini push OS that week and it'll get 10.
I've checked some major middle eastern cities and see many are not re-releasing or getting this cut. Very few Endgame showings and at the original run time, and no promotion. I really believe that this is not "the" re-release. It seems more like a play at hardcore MCU fans alone.
I think a number like $35m dom is basically impossible especially with how little promotion they've done. I guess never underestimate Endgame but that really feels like a bridge too far. IMO 15-20 global this weekend would be amazing and even 10-15 keeps things on track.
Thanks, it's Israel of note that interests me though as I have not seen any middle eastern confirmation personally. I don't have any trouble believing it, it would just be nice to get the official word.
