Completely smashed IW already gargantuan OW like it was nothing. I’m just floored at Endgames performance. Wow

Alright, this is crazy. But is it also a new normal for true mega films? 

[Brainbug]

Even the Rogue one teaser trailer video eventually got to 45 Million on YouTube, I don't think this one will get there...

Rogue One had Vader hype. To be honest, I kind of feel like a lot of GA people don't remember the Emperor well enough to just recognize his laugh? It felt very... who's that? to me.

It's very frustrating the business of theatrical releases. I really really wanted to see Hellboy but by the time I had a free evening it had left cinemas... in under 2 weeks.

The film is cancer, consider yourself lucky. 

[CoolK]

300 !!!!!!!

[Moviefanatic]

Trying not to fall in the “this record will never be broken” trap but it’s hard seeing that happen for awhile.

Unlikely. After last film being a huge disappointment I don't see it. But if it really is the last Star Wars film for 4 year I think you could be right. The whole finale thing despite muted anticipation might just do it. Plus holidays.

Usually SW movies are really strong on Thursday night so i will not shocked if EP9 could beat EG record.

[75Live]

still crazy numbers for this movie.  Can't wait to see what it actually ends up at when the actuals come in.

 

I just looked at the top 20 OW dom of all time and I'm shocked I have been a part of 15 of the top 20, as in I saw those movie on OW.

 

I guess I have been part of history a bunch of times 😛

I agree. December not easy to compare to right now since TFA had holidays which gave it such good legs. I don't think if TFA had opened in April it would do anywhere near as well.

Agreed with the first half, but I have to say it's hard to compare springtime legs with holiday legs.

 

In all honesty, with Endgame, I think we're roughly seeing what TFA would have opened to domestically (plus a few years of inflation and PLF expansion) had it released away from Christmas when audiences were planning on catching the movie during their multi-week holiday breaks. Endgame won't have that same advantage, so it's naturally in even bigger demand on the weekend before everyone goes back to work/school this week.

If the follow-up to TFA couldn't beat TFA previews, then the follow-up to the follow-up certainly isn't going to beat a new, better number.

@Shawn how bad do you think the May releases (Pikachu, John Wick, Aladdin and even Godzilla) will be affected with End Game's opening weekend being as ginormous as it is?

TLJ did $45m, and that was coming off the high of TFA.  I expect an end of  trilogy bump in overall numbers (like the previous two SW trilogies) but don't see it approaching TFA numbers o/w numbers (or totals).  The release pattern and theater counts should be the same as the previous two films unlike without the other trilogies.

I honestly think the term mega doesn't apply to Endgame.  TFA, Infinity War - yes, those were mega films.

 

Endgame is a giga film!
