How people can make a mountain out a molehill from a simple and innocuous tweet is beyond me. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what Olivia said. Why do people take others' words, twist them to suit their own interpretation while applying disingenuous context and then blame the "evil liberals/lefties"? That was rhetorical of course but we see this crap all the time from those who scream at the top of their lungs about the "left". They did it to Brie Larson's calls for more inclusitivity in the press junket/circuit before Captain Marvel premiered and they do it whenever they get even the slightest possible hint of someone possibly referencing the idea of representation and equality brought up in any medium of entertainment. Gets tiring having to explain that what someone has misinterpreted is not what was actually stated.

If only this were opening weekend and we could summon Rth with sexy pics and gifs of hot dudes to get this thread back on track. Alas...

$866 million domestic isn't happening though. $850 million is the ceiling. $835 million isn't out of the question as the floor.

Yeah, it's looking like Endgame is going to finish in the 835-850 million range. Which is still, of course, fantastic. Some on here understandably were excited with the prospect of a billion after the OW and thought TFA was "locked". I was optimistic too but I figured that restraint and caution should have been exercised considering no movie had ever pulled in those types of numbers. Legs were always going to be a question mark considering the uncharted waters.

Taron Egerton was an incredible casting choice for this film.

With the Chinese market continuing to expand and Africa being a market that will boom in the future, not to mention inflation, I don't agree that $2.8 billion is the cap. Not even close.

Considering people thought 300 million domestic was a reach before Black Panther released, does it really matter? It shattered every expectation and then some. Nothing takes away from the incredible box office run of that film. As a standalone original entry nonetheless which makes it even more remarkable. Decent hold for Endgame this weekend. If that Sunday hold for Pikachu transpires, solid outing for it as well.

Page 69. Nice.

I'd be positively shocked if Endgame gets even a sniff of a Best Picture nomination. Agree that its late legs have the potential to be pretty solid though.

That's one rowdy movie-going audience. And an even more impressive recovery time from serious head injuries.

Toothless is the GOAT.

To me, this franchise is the greatest modern trilogy alongside the Rise/Dawn/War of/for the Planet of the Apes trilogy.

Unfortunately fudging 20 million is a little tougher than $40,000... just slightly tougher.

I mean, Black Panther was less than 50k away from $700m. The push is peanuts compared to the fudge and help other films get to hit milestones.

Next year I wouldn't be surprised to see TLK hit $800m Domestic and $2.2b WW. I have a feeling that Avengers part 4 isn't going to hit the heights some seem to think though. A $235m OW, $600m Domestic and $1.7b WW haul seems like a fair bet at this point in time.
