So if it does dropped 15% that brings it down to 93 million for a Sunday. That gives it close to 360.

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.

 

My God In Heaven.

You know that graph is ordered by gross, right? Not release?

 

"A tiny increase" - Avengers and Force Awakens both had a 40M increase on the existing record.

Look, I don't love Disney as a whole, nor do I love their current "let's just make duplicative live action from our animated hits" concept...

 

BUT, what they've done for supers and with Marvel is extraordinary...they didn't just "regurgitate" hits to make this spectacular "endgame" possible.  They built worlds from the ground up, only using the material from comic books, and letting the actors, writers, directors, producers, etc bring those sometimes dated colored pages to life in our modern times.

 

It's practically the Disney concept at its root - make magic come alive.

 

So, for this movie, and Marvel, it's been Disney at its best (even when it has the occasional misfires) - and I'm gonna applaud Disney at its best and hope for more.

 

TL,DR - This record should be celebrated, and I'm so excited their crowning achievement pulled this off...now, I want Oscars, too:)...

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. 

The moment you realize that when actuals come in, EG will likely only need a little more than a 3x DOM to take down Titanic’s first run ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION.

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

I agree its very flat in terms of colour and contrast, but that doesnt make it a TV movie.

Return of the Jedi absolutely demolished the opening weekend record and if I'm not mistaken it's percentage was greater than end games to Infinity war. The weeknd records will always fall eventually. I think it's going to be at least a decade before it does fall but it will fall.

Yes.

Wrong answer. The average person would not spend that much time watching something. Specially when one of the things can't be seen from home.

I'm on my phone so all I can do at this point is say insert a million clapping gifs right here.

And Endgame will have $100+ million on its own. You do the math.

It's 2.5x WW-China (guessing a 330m/550m total in China)

 

No need to exclude China all of a sudden. It’s the films second biggest market. 

 

2.3x this worldwide launch is doable

they kind of did regurgitate hits...

They took the successful formula of Iron Man and applied it to every character they chose.

 

That's why I like Endgame so much. Its the first thing to come out of the MCU that feels like an actual film and not a factory production line product.

Well no but it still looks like one. Also the story is very bad and basic. No character motivations, nothing suspenseful. It's just a bad movie in general. 

[Birdo Mandingo]

The 350 million is awesome, but I think Captain Marvel coming in at number 2 is a lot of fun also. 

[Giesi]

I‘m not a fan and simply don’t care for the MCU, but it’s a historic weekend, I have to applaud them.

350,000,000

Exactly! Disney wanted to project that sweet round total! They know actuals will go up considerably, but that $350,000,000 is also a perfect estimate to boast with!

[Rebeccas]

I mean idc about Disney but can we be happy for Marvel Studios? They started as an independent studio with zero of their A-list characters available to them and a $500 million loan on the line. Now 10 years later, they've built this.

i think they're saying it because of China's frontloadedness.

 

For that matter, let's exclude any market which might not have such great legs - that way, Endgame will have amazing legs!

aLmfao at EG only needing like a 2.3x multi off the worldwide opening to take down Avatar. 

Didn't Infinity War only got 2.38X or so off of it's global opening (+ China and Russia opening), let's not pretend 2.3 is some absurdly low multiplier for this level of global opening, this is unprecedented, we're witnessing something we don't necessarily have a good comparison to. Even if it falls just a bit below that Infinity War multiplier, passing Avatar could in be trouble.
