Been a great weekend thread to follow till today. Thanks to everyone who actually kept the fanboy crap out of the thread till today.

Nope. GoT is not as popular as some believe it to be. The peak ratings for it have the show at 10-11M viewers. That's less than 1/3rd the number of people that saw Endgame this weekend.

Nope, its 10-11 million accounts that watch live, not viewers. Its likely most accounts have more than one viewer.

no I realize the number but I'm saying why not just project a 15% drop just like Infinity Wars had.

genuine question, what about The Avengers makes it a "TV movie"?

 

I've seen this term thrown around a lot in this board about the first Avengers.

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

Dude Endgame has insane hype and still only did 60M for Thursday.... TFA had insane hype so it did 57M... TROS has none of that.. I will bet you 100% Thursday will be less than 57M.. No movie will break Thursday for atleast 5 years

The moment you realize that End Game needs less than a 3x off of its WW OW to take down the biggest movie of all time world wide. 

 

Gone With the Wind is currently shaking in its boots.

You know that GoT is on TV right? You know its not competing for the same dollars? GoT is also traditionally released in April, so its not like it moved dates to be spiteful.

 

Even if GoT was going to have a negative effect it would only be in the US from about 5pm Sunday anyway.

It's still competing for TIME and attention. Do you think that the average person is willing to watch a 1+ hour long GOT episode and a 3 hour long movie the same day?

It cannot overtake Age of Ultron then? Still, an incredible run. 

Maybe, but 15 wide releases throughout all of May means theaters are getting ready to clean house of everything except Avengers.

Not to mention bitching about corporations, monopolies and money by way of posting on TWITTER using an APPLE smartphone.

As opposed to what other possible method of quick mass communication that isn't dependent on corporate products?

Ultron would have easily taken the record too at the time if it wasn’t so lackluster. Word spread quick. 

[KJsooner]

Have already seen Endgame 3 times, and still have plenty of time to watch GOT. Got is like pissing in Niagara Falls. Don’t have any impact whatsoever!

That top bar is ridiculous :))

 

 

This is a perfect example as to why I personally think the weekend record will never be broken ever. Just look how far ahead that line is for Endgame. Actuals will put it even farther away. Look the comparisons in the other movies when it out grossed the other movie question. A tiny increase, nothing out of this world.  With Endgame is just mind boggling.

17.5 million households, anywhere from 1 to 4 people per household. You do the math. 

 

I seen this movie twice. Let me just say, I seen more people walking out of the theater a little let down than pumped. First time, I went with a party of 13 people, some fanboys and one considered a general audience, and nobody walked away happy. I went again last night with my mom. She enjoyed the movie, but as I was leaving, I was hearing quite a few murmurs from the audience about how it didn't feel right, that it was missing something. IW was more fun, and had great interactions with Tony, Thor, Peter, GOTG and Stephen Lang. End Game didn't have that to be honest. I seriously feel that it was Thor's arc and the whole thing between Tony, GOTG and Peter that made Infinity War so rewatchable, and well, End Game dropped the ball in my opinion concerning these characters. End Game had one scene in it that had me pumped, but other than that, the movie was kind of depressing. I'm more than likely wrong, and I sure as hell can't foresee what this film will be like just from my personal experience. But, I won't be surprised if in the end, the movie starts to perform more like Age of Ultron by it's third week after the newness wears off. 

You must live in Japan.

Yes.

I love Avengers: #Endgame as a movie lover. I hate, hate, hate it as a movie theater manager. We just simply are not equipped to handle this kind of business, and it's killing us. Not enough staff. Not enough registers. Not enough ovens. Not enough space for queues. It's insane.

It looks like a TV movie. The way it was shot. There is no depth or shadow to the colour.
