By the way, anywhere in DHD's opening weekend range takes down Return of the Jedi to have the highest OW per-theater-average of all time adjusted.

This is a record I didn’t think it had a chance of breaking. That record has held for almost 36 years. If it gets that high, Endgame might stay on top even after BOM’s adjustment math that pegs each movie’s ticket price to the quarter in which it opened (which would deflate EG’s adjusted numbers if 2019’s yearly average ends up below the Q2 average)

So what's gonna be higher?  EG's DOM OW (in tens of millions) or number of alts of Shivampa get discovered and banned?

 

(I'd say "in hundreds of millions", but I think three Shivampa alts have already  been banned in the last week or so - just saw the latest one that got struck down)

Campea has been underplaying the MCU for months now. He still doesn't think that the MCU has surpassed Star Wars in the cultural zeitgeist. He foreshadowed his lukewarm review for EG by continually saying that he hoped that the movie doesn't suck, and had more anticipation for the Lion King and Star Wars then Endgame. Today he was comparing the Thursday night number to The Force Awakens, to use it as evidence that Endgame won't hit 300 million OW. Its strange, but it seems he sees the MCU as a threat to the Star Wars Legacy.

Campea is an obvious Star Wars fanboi. He has zero credibility. All the signs were there that EG was going to shatter records, although 300M definitely wasn't a given.

I'm at work and literally haven't been able to focus all day. These numbers are fucking insane.

AMC 30 Ontario Mills here in Southern California has a whopping 78 showtimes today for EG. Any theater you guys tracking have more?

 

Up to 85 shows now.

[blackspider]

That adjusted PTA for ROTJ is very strange. I wonder how theaters handled demand for that back in the day. It must’ve just been selling out every show but I doubt theaters were staying open 24/7 and also can’t be as flexible in terms of adding showtimes as they are today.

 

On a unrelated note, still don’t understand how Lion Kings PTA is possible. And when you adjust it’s stupid.

So, we already know the film is going to do exceptionally well at the box office, both for its opening and for its entire runtime. But the question I want to ask is this: What does this mean for film?

Second go around.

Not to get too close to a Fan War; but how does being a Star Wars fan mean he has zero credibility? He isn’t wrong saying that The MCU won’t surpass Star Wars in cultural relevance.  Star Wars is Star Wars. It is the Granddaddy of all of them.  Kevin Feige talked about growing up on Star Wars and how he wanted to create a Star Wars for this generation. 

 

And that is what he did. The Boomers and Gen X have Star Wars. The Millennials and Gen Z have the MCU. Regardless,

 

Star Wars will always be Star Wars. Period.

If it keeps following this trend (this is some real kwik maf so I might be off here), could be looking at an OW above 5m, which would be absolutely nuts. Hell, if you take the current +40% above IW and chuck that onto the dom OW and that's a 360m OW right there.

In North America yes but I think MCU is going to be the Star Wars for Asia. Marvel has easily surpassed  the popularity of Star Wars OS.
