Nah, they will want their victory lap moment with EG as the biggest film of all time. Something they've never gotten before.

US: 280

OS-C: 102*3.43 : 350

China: 19 * 2.7: 50+

 

Need 20 from Japan for that.

Japan 35+ I bet, but some of these multis are indeed really strong. I suppose the good news is OS-C actual will probably be more 105.

I actually think the IW/Endgame duo is better than Aladdin.

They bought it but had nothing to do with it. Imagine if they make a sequel that does worse like 13-15 years later. Even I will have to admit on it's face that would look bad despite making a lot of money.

I don't think that Disney and SW mesh well so Solo bomb doesn't surprise me. it's a bad match. We'll see how Avatar and Disney work but you are absolutely right. it would be pretty embarrassing.

They should root for EG more. They fully own that movie. While they only get some % of profits in the Avatar sequels because they are only the distributor and co-financier. Although I do think that they'll get a larger part of the profit than Cameron. It depends on how much % of the budget Disney contributed.

It wasn't theirs when it broke all its records. The public don't associate it with them (at least not yet). I don't think Disney is going to want to miss what could be their only chance to advertise to the world that a film everyone knows is theirs is the most successful of all time. At least not when it will get very close to beating Avatar at the very least. Not like they'd have to find away to get it 50m or something, we're talking like probably 10m if it misses.

Hence the reason they have every incentive to do a labor day expansion and drag this kicking and screaming through it.

I don't follow overseas box office much but that Italy number seems massive, especially compared to the much larger markets of South Korea, Russia, Brazil, France and Germany.

After dragging AWIT of all movies (yes, yes, TV and all that) over the 100M, they will do it with EG and Avatar if it's a photofinish. At least people care for that one unlike AWIT (even Brie didn't care about 100M mark). 

 

@titanic2187 that's fair!

After tomorrow’s grosses Endgame will be less than $100 million away from Avatar. Y’all are delusional if you think Disney won’t re-release it in theaters if it runs out of steam just before passing Avatar.

[titanic2187]

IW and EG just almost completely mirror each other run on the daily basis!

 

Wonder when that mirroring will break.....now their daily box office be like

 

 

[That One Girl]

Guys, Disney literally does not care about "their own film" being #1 (which isn't even their own film, it was made by Marvel).  They make profits off of Avatar and they make profits off of Endgame.  Their #1 concern is money.  If Endgame doesn't make it to the #1 spot, then they will not give a shit because it still made $2.6B+ and they also own the film that still is at #1.

I just can't wait to see the hypocrisy on display if it takes a re-release to push it over and the Cameron loonies lose their shit when they know good and well Avatar added a nice little chunk of change from a re-release.

There's really no place to give it an extra push aside from the weekend of July 12 (where the only openers are Crawl and Stuber).

I'm sure they could manage an expansion for the 4th, which aligns perfectly with FFH's release.
