I just watched it and it ... was ... amazing! That new song speechless by Naomi Scott is now my new favourite song. Its so powerful and she sings it so well. Naomi is an absolutely awesome Jasmine! This movie will have legs. You all just wait and see. The word of mouth will be amazing for this movie.

Avengers: Endgame Thursday Thread: DHD 21.7M
Eldenfirefly replied to FlashMaster659's topic in Numbers and Data
Well, what about 50 shades of Grey ? (The whole series?). From what I understand, the guy in that series is supposed to be a 10 (billionaire, handsome, and all). While the girl is more of a 7 because she is certainly not supposed to be some hot bombshell. Her selling point was that she was a submissive... And how about Bella and Edward in the twilight series? I mean, in the books, Bella was supposed to be an average 7. Edward was the hot handsome vampire of rating 10 (according to the fans). And even if Edward wasn't a 10, the hunky werewolf that was also vying for Bella's affections was probably a 10 too. -
I just saw a CNBC report saying projections are that Endgame could reach 3 billion worldwide in box office. My mind can't wrap my head around that kind of numbers.... *faints* Last time, even doing 1 billion worldwide was a mark of dsintinction for a movie and those that did that were in an"exalted" tier. 3 billion is 3 times of 1 billion... So, if over 1 billion is "exalted" tier, what does that make 3 billion? "god" tier? lol

Just want to say I am glad I was able to participate in this amazing opening weekend with all of you for Avengers Endgame. Such an amazing box office run right out of the gate. I will say this though. Marvel has earned this. They built this finale up over 21 movies. I mean, a big movie that's 2 to 3 hours with a good story earning big box office? That's typical. But a movie that's the culmination of a world built up over 21 movies? with characters built up in those 21 movies? A finale of a narrative that was 21 movies long? And one that just kept on drawing more and more of the general public in? Avengers Endgame deserves every cent and box office record it gets. Because it is anything but a typical block buster movie.

I think we will have a better idea when we see second weekend numbers. Its still school for most kids right now and work days for adults. So, I got a feeling a lot of return viewers will come in on the weekends.

I am delighted this is taking the weekend record in such a fashion. But lets not forget it took a lot of balls, commitment and money from Marvel and Disney to make all this happen. And also an infinite amount of patience. They were willing to stretch this out into a 20 movie arc over more than ten years before its culmination and finale. I can think of no movie studio that would have had that kind of long term thinking and patience. Just look at how soon DC and warner brothers threw together justice league as a comparison. And there were any number of "sagas', some even based on popular book series that have flamed out (Narnia?), or just never grew from strength to strength like the MCU. Even Harry Potter, which is one of the most popular book series never really grew much from its opening movie except for its finale movie.

Its more than nuts. Its unbelievable. lol 200 million weekend openers are supposed to belong in rarified box office history. They are supposed to come once in a blue moon and make box office history when they happen, never to be repeated for a long time. To have three within 5 months is absolutely ridiculous. lol

Just for a mathematical way of doing this. Deathly Hallows Part 2 did around 30% more in box office domestic as well as WW than Deathly Hallows Part 1. If Avengers 4 is truly the culmination of this entire 20 movie arc. well... imagine adding on 30% to the current box office that Infinity war is already doing... lol Its crazy numbers I know. But I am doing this using mathematics.

Really makes me wonder how possible this can be replicated again, even by Marvel. But let's enjoy the infinity war box office now, and let's also look forward to avengers 4. That is going to be truly interesting to track! I mean, look at the kind of numbers infinity war is already doing now. If we map harry potter's finale to avengers 4... I struggle to imagine the kind of epic box office numbers Avengers 4 is going to do.
