Worldwide?

reply

It will be close depends on the reviews I reckon and trailers

we will see, i can see 100m jump domestic. Not sure the rest of the world can do 600m+ jump when already peaked domestically

No chance.

Will no doubt be one of the biggest movies ever and will go to 2bn but Avatar was a phenomenon (despite being average at best). It will eventually be beaten due to inflation but my guess is its safe for 20 years at least. 2 huge movies came out the the past 5 years, The Force Awakens and Infinity War and both were 700m behind.

No.

Avatar had many, many 3D IMAX repeat viewings because of the immersive experience and not so much for a "I have to see that again" story.

Avengers:Endgame will not be that kind of event film but it will still be well received. People should stop trying to compare and compete the Avatar movie experience as it was a novelty. Look at it this way. 3D is basically dead in the USA. Nothing in 3D is an eyeball magnet sucking dollars out of wallets of people who want to watch 3D.

The Avatar sequels won't come close to repeating such an event experience either.

Too early to tell and no way to predict.

Close, Endgame will probably be the biggest movie for the next several years, or until Avatar 2,3,4,5 anyway.
