terrestrial Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 So, for me the only surprise is about how long it took till she announces she will go (see 4 years contract) with former FOX (micromanaging and in question for other details in my POV too) Tom Rothman as the new(-ish) boss (since Feb 2015) Intersting, no critical word to be found at his english Wiki entry , not even why he does not work at FOX anymore. Wondering what that will mean for the MCU, as then her being responsible at Sony for the Marvel movies was a condition for certain details.

TA projections too most likely. I think following IW will be close to the high end target for EG. All 3 comparisons point to 22M+ as the target to hit for Thu number though. i disagree (except for the thursday number) , but we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcarusReborn Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Very strong Wednesday! I was expecting $22-$23 million. I'm thinking Endgame will be at $640 million domestic by the end of the second weekend. I originally predicted Endgame would be at an even $600 million by that time. Endgame keeps beating my predictions. I think this movie is the one to do $1 billion domestic or within $20 million of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekanos Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Something I feel might prove to be a logistical barrier to overcome for an MCU movie to hit 900+ is lack of multi-generational appeal compared to Star Wars. People from 5 to 80 were excited about a sequel to Return Of The Jedi. Does Endgame carry that kind of broad appeal? It's a sequel to a 22 movie franchise that started a decade ago. Obviously Marvel Comics in general does have older fans, but nowhere near to the extent as Star Wars. It'll be interesting to see what happens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Once again, awesome number. And still any sign of frontloadness. Around 640M after 2nd weekend is kind of assured at this point. Think about this: TFA will barely reduce the gap with EG despite the incredible Holiday legs it had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 My 2nd weekend (FSS) projection for Endgame Domestic: $172mn ($647mn) Overseas: $205mn ($995mn) China: $90mn ($605mn) Worldwide: $467mn ($2247mn) http://bit.ly/EGOverseas Also in "EG Projection" sheet, you can check my lifetime projection for Endgame. Note: The second weekend that Disney will report, will include Russia Mon-Sun and countries with weekend starting from Wednesday or Thursday, like France, Australia, Gulf, etc. So Disney number may cross $500mn. 15 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upcoming is Spider-Man: Far From Home and the Greta Gerwig-directed Little Women, which opens Christmas Day with a cast that includes Emma Watson, Saoirse Ronan and Meryl Streep. Pascal will continue to produce the sequels and is partnered with Phil Lord & Chris Miller on the Spider-Verse universe spinoff for TV, and an arsenal of projects she either acquired directly with Sony money or her discretionary fund. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vafrow Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 With the domestic numbers looking like they're going to fall between $850M and $1B, barring it really taking off, could we be looking at the narrowest race for domestic box office that we've ever seen. Any time the domestic record has fallen, its been by a significant margin (greater than 10%). When the previous record holders actually took the crown, they were still at the top of the box office. There's also never been, as far as I can tell, a movie that gets to within 10% of the domestic champ that doesn't take the box office crown. Now, all that said, movies that do this well never seem to follow a script, so its still early, but, it seems like it's going to be an interesting run no matter what at this point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 1 minute ago, TalismanRing said: I know, I read that too 😉 it was about her leaving ~ officially still, and me being a bit surprised it took her as long. Better said, as the preparations for that should have started way earlier, maybe the surprise is mostly how long it took to announce it. And the impact on the MCU - the separation should have an impact on the long run in the ~ discussions behind the scene, if she is not there any-more in a more official way/status, a more loose connection should lessen her say there. Some details might need years to become clear, some faster, especially if details like that are known, hence why it might be interesting to observe the next some years very closely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going off the BOM charts based on dates in time. I'm assuming the ET re-releases were included at that time, which still kept it at outside 10%. I hadn't realized JP got so close at the time. That's a movie that I would have liked to have seen had the domestic champ crown for a bit. If you are including re-releases though, it does feel like this may be the closest race we'll see for the domestic title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdsacken Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 1 hour ago, Mekanos said: 2.2B after weekend 2 would basically guarantee an Avatar defeat, no? Yes. After the 2nd weekend Infinity War was at 1.167 without China. Add 300 million from China that it did through the first 2 weekends later and thats 1.467 billion. It added another 600 million globally from there and you beat Avatar. Everything is outpacing IW and the legs will most likely equal or be better. In this case the US only added 225 million. It's an absolute lock it adds at least that much and to be frank it's almost impossible it only adds 225million. Probably a lot more like 300.

The Fast and the Furiosa Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I’d just be cautious on the Friday increases in particular. Its already setting non-holiday weekday records. One should not expect much higher than 100% if it even gets there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
