Endgame needs a 3.14x multiplier off its second weekend to beat TFA. Far from impossible, but it's not going to be easy either. Infinity War achieved a 2.97x multiplier off its second weekend, whereas The Avengers achieved a fantastic 3.43x multiplier off its second weekend. 

That's my only hope that EG's A+ comes to play here.

I got feeling that may be just may be EG beat TFA in 2nd weekend in one of Canada or USA. Can only confirm by Thursday.

O/U 12M for today?

Dont know about other areas, but in Australia, they dont refresh theatre allocation until Thursday Morning.

I am thinking drop similar to IW. Dont see much demand now. Most shows are empty except Tiny screens. But its still playing in ginormous number of shows and that should help. As someone said its going to be a weekend film at least until school break.

The North American market is very presale driven at this point. I can see screen counts and showtimes through May 16th. I'm not sure if all that data is available rolled up, but in theory it could be collected chain by chain or location by location if someone had a web page scraper built to do it.

IMAX /Dolby showings are still doing quite well, even for a Monday. 

Also, presales for Friday/Saturday in some IMAX are already filling up. The premium screens will help soften the blow somewhat at this point.

Films like Endgame don't fade away that easily. The WOM is already absolutely insane, once the word is out that this indeed beat Avatar to become the biggest film of all time is that things go nuts. I see Endgame showing its true legs only by next Monday.

Yeah, I'm hoping its 2nd weekend drop will be the big one and from here on out it holds really well. It would make sense. A movie that big on opening weekend is going to have that initial big drop because,like it or not, there is a portion of the audience that will be satisfied after their opening weekend showing.

I have a scraper for Cinemark but it's kinda annoying to run tbh.

It seems to be continuing to sell strongly in IMAX/Dolby for the upcoming weekend. 

Doing a quick look at some of the big AMC theatres show those shows already filling up. 

It will hopefully be the case that those shows will continue at near sell outs, and with the higher prices soften the drop a little more this weekend.

Second Tuesday usually increase 25/30% for blockbusters unless Monday is high again.

[Juby]

It's not that flat. I'm just not sure how big Monday will be. Maybe $11 mln tops?

With $11.5M Monday, that would mean around $13.5/14M, the drop is usually similar to the weekend on Tuesday so around 58% drop from $33M.
