Avengers: Endgame Monday Thread (4/29): 36.87M (3rd best Monday ever)

Recommended Posts

Huge OWs are amazing to watch but equally a film that start lowish or decent and have incredible legs is just as incredible to watch. Seeing Jumanji and TGS's run week on week was jaw dropping as well.

Jokes aside...I liked avatar and am looking forward to avatar 2

I like Avatar's spectacular visuals (not its story) but I'm also looking forward to watching Avatar 2. I remember when I first watched Avatar I was in utter awe.

'Avengers: Endgame' had the biggest opening weekend of all-time in Canada

  1. Avengers: Endgame (2019) – $28.5 million
  2. Avengers: Infinity War (2018) – $19.7 million
  3. Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) – $18.6 million
  4. Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) –  $17.2 million
  5. The Avengers (2012) – $14.6 million

what about me :whosad:

 

Is that in CAD?

 

If only USD-CAD was 1:1 as it used to be. OW in USD would be $38.5M vs $28.5M (and overall record opening would be 10M higher) -- if those numbers are in USD.

 

$367M total

 

So USD-CAD being weaker than back then means a $10M difference overall. It's not nothing!

Oh yeah, absolutely. For another example, I wasn’t following My Big Fat Greek Wedding’s box office, but I was cognizant of the phenomenon. A little indie film from a nobody writer/director that Hollywood had no faith in and wouldn’t touch because it was too “ethnic”, turned into a self-powering perpetual-motion word-of-mouth hype generator. It was absolutely nuts to see people my mom’s age talking this movie up amongst themselves like it was their Star Wars. (And when I saw it, it had one of the best crowds I can remember.)

Is it safe to say regarding Sunday that GoT had like zero impact? Or for someone who thinks it did, what would the movie have done with a clean sunday night?

I think it did have an impact, actually, even if relatively slight in the overall scheme of things. 

 

I'm not sure if there's another compelling rationale for it having a higher Sunday drop than IW followed by a stronger Monday hold. Spillover like this should have resulted in a stronger Sunday drop otherwise.

To this day, I find it absolutely hilarious that Avatar was nominated for and actually won the Oscar for cinematography. Are the visuals stunning and beautiful? Absolutely. Were they filmed? Nope. CGI, baby! Avatar is an animated movie. This was maybe the worst Academy miss in my lifetime. It should not have been nominated in that category, let alone actually win the award.

 

Ok, enough ranting. I'm off to make a silent film and submit it as an entry into the best original score category.

This is a review posted to Endgame on Rotten Tomatoes:

 

April 29, 2019

While it doesn't take too many chances with its narrative, it's still an appealing tale... It's a nice showcase for Fanning's talents -- she sings, and speaks Polish! -- and proof of concept for Minghella as a director.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
 
I spent some ten seconds thinking "Who did Elle Fanning play in this movie?"

Now, now, music is absolutely key to silent film. (Now, if you were to submit the film totally silent, then yeah, it’s a great joke.)

Well then the canadian contribution to OW would be 38.5 and not 28.5

 

OW is 10M lower just because of CAD-USD exchange rates. :hahaha:

I do want to see Teen Spirit just because of Elle Fanning. Besides Shailene Woodley I think she's the best young actress working right now.

Someone had better use that movie as a bait and switch, like going in expecting a cartoon musical about a snow queen and getting an R-rated indie thriller about people trapped on a ski lift.

It's b/c Saturday had Midnight, 2am and 4am shows filling up.  Sunday could match the day, afternoon and evening shows but not those late night shows before a school and work day did not, and in most cases those shows weren't even scheduled.    It's the same reason Saturday's jump from Friday was lower than AIW.  Friday was already doing near capacity all day long.

 

None of which had anything to do with GOT

Eh... ”Bambi” has some of the most awesome cinematographies ever. The compositions in the frames are all Mona lisas
