The MCU also has 22 movies in 10 years and started as an independent studio. Disney attempted to pull off something way more conservative with Star Wars and failed spectacularly.
Only movie that really failed was Solo. Wouldn’t say Disney “failed spectacularly”. It just happened one movie grossed 900m and every other SW movie will now be judged against it.

The beautiful thing about Avatar is that it was an out of nowhere new IP. It opened up to just 70 opening weekend, wasn't part of a huge saga 12 years in the making. I'd say Avatars record is way more impressive regardless.
Avatar opened to $70 mil because the east coast was hit with one of the biggest snow storms in years.

I love that "logical", so, because these two movies increased on the previous one (despite the fact that both were sold as the FINAL SW MOVIE EVAH!!!!), so, SW9 is locked to do the same? Yeah, it surely makes a lot of sense.
SW fans are going to have a rude awaking this December on the same way DC fans witnessed with JL.

Thanks for your ‘concern trolling.’ Fits in with the rest of the debbie downers today.
And yeah, you’re predictions aren’t gonna happen.
Me thinks you made an ass of yourself.

Not only is Black Panther's 40.2M Monday record in reach, but so is TFA's 37.4M Tuesday record. If it gets 40M, a doable 6.5% drop (IW had a 5.3% drop), will do it.
Who said it’s decreasing on Tuesday!? $45m here we come!

So EG will knock TDK out of the top 10 all time by Saturday?

Are we happy because it's 357, or unhappy because diffrence between EG and IW is smaller than 100 million?
Both?

I wonder what the industry is thinking about Endgame's box office...
What kind of copycats will this movie inspire?
Only studio that had the source material to copy it made JL. So yeah, not gonna happen.

Could it possibly jump from Monday? We all know Tuesdays decrease from Monday after big opening weekends, even with the continued rise of cheap Tuesdays.
Keep in mind my target for Monday is $35M.
I said earlier 33m Monday and 45m Tuesday.

The movies through TFA were matching the admissions of the previous record holder w/ inflation (and 3D w/ Potter) included.
This is the first one to CLEARLY crush the admissions record
Revenge of the Sith would have. Remember it opened on a Thursday. It probably had potential for $60+m on a true Friday, which would have lasted until TDK.

only 60m in previews? Did not beat TFA by much, not at all with inflation. The final potter film still has the most impressive opening night numbers.
I'll agree, at the time DH II's preview numbers were crazy. But if you break it down, you'll see that with it's midnight start time, theaters were able to allocate as many screens as they needed to to accommodate moviegoers. My theaters in the DC/Maryland/VA area had showings from 12am to 6am. Roughly the same time Endgame and TFA had with 6pm - 12am showings. And the theaters for TFA and EG still had to show other movies in that same time frame.

Here in San Diego, caught the 5pm Fan Event which I love going to because it has the old feel of midnight previews and then caught a 10:30pm IMAX showing. Let’s just say I’m tired AF!
As I was leaving, people were still queued up for the 2:30am showings which were around 80% full. Totally loved the chaos last night.

Who else is practicing to hold their bladder?
I watched Return of the King 6 times in the theater and made it through safely. Then again, that was 16 years ago when my bladder could hold a 12 pack of beer and not even flinch.

3 days and 3 sub 20% week-to-week decreases...ah, what could have been (and yes, this baby run fascinates me:)...almost could have been a baby Peter Rabbit from last year, although I guess if Dumbo comes in lower than expectations, maybe it still could be...
I believe it’s just a lack of kid friendly options during spring break.

I was hoping A Star Is Born would have enough left in the tank to pass Bohemian Rhapsody but doesn't look like its going to happen. So close!!

The new trailer is basically Will Smith as Hitch dressed as a genie.

Rogue One will probably be my favorite from this new batch of SW movies because of the characters. Go figure.
