Seeing the trailer for this is going to be surreal. 

 

lel

they'll probably spend the whole trailer announcing the re-release with a "return to pandora"-"relieve the experience" type blurb, before ending it all with a  "and on december 16" leading into the avatar 2 logo and subtitle over a very pretty background with some atmospheric music

and then after the trailer the audience it's gonna wonder what is pandora lol

Endgame already adjusts to something like 3.3 billion, so hopefully something over that

Yep, right around there. By the end of the year it would probably adjust to around $3.5B or so. 

Assuming A2 gets a full slate release (i.e China) and there are no "other" issues (war, disease, meteor, etc.), I would be a surprised if it went under $2B. My target would be $2.5B but I could see it up to $4B (which would probably be about 13-18% more tickets sold than Endgame). 

I'm very curious what kind of reaction/interest the first teaser gets.

If it gets less views than the legendary Detective Pikachu trailer, we're in trouble. Might mean under 1 Billion worlwide.

It'll probably get less. As you may recall, that movie had a $300M OW and finished over $1B DOM.

Im aware. May 2019 was epic and tragic at the same time. Endgame could have maybe reached something like 800M+ DOM if Detective Pikachus onslaught didnt prevent it from that. Im still remembering the day vividly when Pikachu crossed TFA's total. Those were good times.

I'm not curious at all, audiences will shit themselves when they see the trailer in the cinema. It's actually a very expected outcome.

Reminder I was laughed at when I suggested it would do 4 Billion 2 years ago. Now no one bats an eye.

It's physically impossible for a person to laugh at something for 2 years.

It's still laughable. People are just used to it by now.

It's still very unlikely IMO but not laughable. NWH doing $800M DOM and $1.9B WW-C was just as unlikely, 9 months before it came out. With ticket prices where they are now (and where they likely will be by the end of this year.) it would mean something like +15% on Avengers Endgame in global ticket sales. We will see what happens.

Endgame though was the conclusion of dozens of films, featuring every MCU character and their grandmothers as well as having an incredible must-see factor because of the ending of Infinity War and beeing the grand final showing of beloved characters like Iron Man and Captain America.

 

Avatar 2 is one more film about blue people.
