I don't think will ever again see a high opening movie to be also leggy. The current market just doesn't support that and trends are going opposite way.
If something can outgross Avatar it's either going to be another super event like Avengers vs X-men (if X-men will be well made and well received) or some weird crossover of Dinosaurs vs Fast franchise or something completely new from visionary director with high-enough budget and curiosity factor like Arrival but bigger and better (= less complicated for GA to understand)
There are other studios than Disney and there are plenty of original movies every year, people just don't want to see them. Also Jeremy of cinemasins (the dude in the video) should shut up about rehashing old ideas. He did literally that for living (and maybe still does, idk)
We want record OW, but we also want legs, but we want trailers not to show much, but we want trailers to show money shots. C'mon people make up your mind. This is absolute success, memorial weekend curse broken, $250m DOM possibility
EG is gonna make 30% more than closest movie from it’s era and 60%+ from third closest (second being it’s predecessor IW). Clearly a great accomplishment
I want any answer to “EG grossed 2.7B” be “yes” and not “but inflation” or “but global growth” or “Titanic grossed twice previous record holder and Avatar 50% more that”
