Potentially, all five of the dated MCU films could earn less DOM than Endgame had OW.

Potentially every film next year could make less than EG’s OW.

Just like 2014.

^^^ Annabelle will cross 200 ww comfortably afterall. Still below expectations. Previous one's OS was itself 204.

[The Futurist]

We live in Disney s Land.

Make your peace with that fact.

wow that's true.

 

mj1 being following cf and being part of the finale was expected to make it close to 400. but being the finale mattered less than being part1 and cf's reception didn't help as much as people expected.

 

asm2 and httyd2 fell way short and were contenders for 300-350+ on the forums if i remember correctly. tf4 was reckoned to do 300+ too.

I'd be shocked if the top 2020 film made less than $357m. The box office has gotten a lot more top heavy since 2014.

Where did Avatar get the numbers recently added from. Was it from untracked territories?

also the last year (ever?) that the #1 wasn't a disney movie.

[NoLegMan]

This is a gut feeling, and not based on data, but I think folks are underestimating Black Widow.

BOM can be confusing tho. I think some markets are not tracked for some movies like Toy Story 4 and Aladdin don't have like 11-12 markets tracked for them while Spiderman has all it's markets covered. They could lose around 20-30M on these 11-12 markets not major markets but still significiant for them. 

 

Markets like 

 

Jamaica

Kuwait

Qatar

Israel

Nigeria

Ireland

Sir Lanka

kazakhstan

Egypt.

Etc etc.

domestic it's probably solidly between wonder woman and black widow. can see them both in about the mid-300s, pre-marketing. worldwide mulan, fast and furious, maybe james bond can contend.

Yes it can. The timing is is awesome though.

 

So Endgame just topped Avatar on the worldwide chart. Woops, look at those territories I forgot to update for Avatar's OS gross.
