Sometime between Civil War and Endgame is more interesting to me than pre-Avengers at least. Allows side characters to be relevant to the present more easily, and means the Natasha we see on screen is closer in development to when we’ve recently seen her.
That link has serious spoilers btw, don’t think you’re allowed to post it.
Can’t spoil what’s already spoiled.
Careful with TLK spoilers though, I’m really looking forward to seeing Simba’s relationship with his Dad develop over the course of the movie.
2nd and 3rd weeks drops have been bad (accounting for China 4-day Labor Day). Thinking about 40/60 now, but we’ll need the 4th weekend to stop trending down so steeply.
We now interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for this breaking news update.
13 PT 5/16/19 (Mid Thurs)
1 29.1% John Wick:Chapter 3 - Parabellum
2 28.1% Avengers: Endgame
3 18.8% Pokémon Detective Pikachu
4 3% The Hustle
5 2.8% A Dog’s Journey
I’ll try to do a midday update labeled by hour whenever there’s a new #1.
Endgame is now comfortably ahead of this year’s top 5 non-MCU movies (Us+HTTYD+Shazam+Dumbo+Glass=694M). 2019 MCU is above 2019’s top 10 other movies (Us through Pika~=1133M).
With last 7 days multi of:
CW 738+85*1.17=838M
IM3 738+85*1.31=849M
AoU 738+85*1.51=866M
IW 738+85*1.38=855M
TA 738+85*1.98=906M
IW has DP2 coming up immediately, other 4 Memorial Day. 850-870 unless something strange happens.
Endgame was 4th as recently as April 14, Shazam’s 2nd Sat (behind Shazam, Little, Dumbo).
It was 2nd as recently as April 17, Shazam’s 2nd Tues. So just short of a month, R.I.P. this unfortunate flop, so close to success.
Yeah, we might soon need to move the bar to 1.4B for it to remain a Thanos exclusive club.
Going down to 900M WW nets you a plethora of additions (listed by descending gross of the movie they’re increasing from):
Despicable Me 3
PotC: Stranger Tides
HP:DH2
Finding Dory
HP:DH1
TLotR:TRotK
Half-Blood Prince was 6M short, and The Battle of the Five Armies was 2.5M short.
