Disney can't be treated as one entity. The fact is they are a series of sub brands, and each of those is quite different. What the Marvel branch has pulled off is remarkable and has set an amazing and exciting blueprint for the entire blockbuster industry. What the main studio has done with their live action branch by focusing on dull, lifeless remakes of the animated classics is insipid and sets a horrible trend for the industry. They are two completely different sides of the coin, so it's impossible to just say Disney as a whole is one thing to the industry. 

Very good point.

Cannot be stressed enough how the MCU is a vibrant brand that didn't rely on nostalgia and created its own path making C-Level comic book characters into worldwide movie icons.

@Charlie Jatinder if you have to take a leak in the middle of the night, we wouldn’t mind if you dropped off an update.

Saaaaaaame.  And they have $5 Tuesdays here for all movies so that's likely out too.

Omg just looking around my area I probably can't get a decent seat to see this again until Monday or Tuesday!

Did anyone go higher in the summer game for EG than me out of curiosity? I have 333m OW, 1B DOM, and 3b WW. 

[Birdo Mandingo]

at my local theater 13/21 showings are already complete sellouts for Sunday. Of the 8 that are not sold out yet 6 only have 5 or less seats available. 

 

Only 2 showings have decent available with one being just 70% sold out and the other 60%(10:00 pm and 10:30 pm)  

 

Previews(23 showtimes), Friday(27 showtimes), and Saturday(29 showtimes) have been 100% complete sellouts at this theater, and I believe Sunday will too. If it doesn't it will just be a handful of seats for the 10:30.

But where are the Saturday numbers?  Too high?

@RtheEnd finally meeting a number too big for him to handle???

MCU needs to launch a movie on superbowl weekend. Someone needs to take the title of 33m opening away from the Hannah Montana movie.

I want this son of a bitch to hit 400 million.

I need to have some comments for Endgame to break the most pages record for BOT weekend thread.

 

I'll see it tomorrow in Paris (my first time in Paris).

After I missed the showtime at 13:30 today, because several metro lines stop and its raining and I was 30 mins late and they didn't allow me to get in the cinema. But lucky they gave me another ticket to see it on Sun instead.

Besides Cjohn, who was predicting a 300m week end or more in the Derby ?

 

I put 302m in the Summer Game.

 

Oh how silly I was.

Btw i hope this right here will finally put an end to the "but the longer runtime means it will gross less" debate

Me too. I predicted $302.5M.

 

Ah well. I'd far rather underpredict than overpredict.

Tuesday is looking like Friday did around me...

Could it possibly jump from Monday? We all know Tuesdays decrease from Monday after big opening weekends, even with the continued rise of cheap Tuesdays.

 

Keep in mind my target for Monday is $35M.

So Endgame might be the 1st movie ever to break the previous OW record before Sunday. TFA I think was closest, I think it was 15 million short of JW before Sunday.

 

I am pretty sure it would have been impossible before preview era. So I only checked TFA since it was biggest jump prior on record breakers.

The cheap Tuesday is the exact reason why Tuesdays of such massive movies decrease. There may be more people buying tickets than on Monday - but the tickets are cheaper, thus less money is spent. With smaller numbers, the Tuesday rise is not affected, but on this level it is.

Who's to say it wouldn't have made 180 OD with a 2:15 runtime.
