Endgame Final B.O. Predictions

Ha!

I've already accounted for it. And if you decide to see it again after that or not I've accounted for that as well :)

It’s made so much money for a number of reasons.

One of the biggest reasons is people (everyone from hardcore fans to the casuals) actually liked it. A lot. That’s right, it lived up to the hype in the eyes of... the majority. Started out front loaded? Perhaps. Nonetheless a film, including a highly anticipated one, doesn’t end up making 2.6 billion by its fourth weekend because it STARTED out front loaded. If that were the case, more studios would expect to make billions if they were to release their most buzzed about movies like Disney did with Endgame.

But I bet you know before it was released anywhere, Endgame had amazingly crushed every ticket pre-sales record out there. Yet, surprising so many it had an insanely monumental $350+ million domestic opening that no analyst saw coming even after it looked like there was a strong chance Endgame was going to open with $300 mil domestically. So clearly, Endgame’s weekend opening was a massive victory in every way.

Its rewatchability factor? Endgame may not be rewatchable to you (u saw much more appeal in Avatar which, funnily enough, in spite of the huge buzz it garnered it ultimately didn’t leave any mark on pop culture and today there’s no shortage of people that find its special effects to be the only great thing about it), but that certainly wasn’t the case for so many who went to see this film. If Endgame has become the only film to come THAT close to Avatar, then it must be doing so for a bunch of good reasons other than front loaded-ness (I’ll be going for a fifth viewing myself this upcoming week). Moreover, regardless of the way Endgame was built up as an epic conclusion to a 22 film arc, at the end of the day a film with as much hype as this one wouldn’t have performed this well if it didn’t absolutely deliver. There’s a reason some thought there was a 50/50 chance this was going to pass the previous Avengers.

But lo and behold, Endgame turned out to be a widely praised film that, as with Infinity War, became a definitive cultural event. Some may be as unimpressed as you, but make no mistake about it... millions more feel differently and have continued to go see this remarkable film. Inflation? Oh, I know the adjusted for inflation crowd LOVES to downplay the success of modern blockbusters. Still, any way you slice it what AE accomplished is staggering. I do not see any film in the foreseeable future coming close to doing what Endgame did. But going back to inflation...I find it curious that those who love to bring up today’s ticket prices rarely bring up the fact that everything from Gone With the Wind to Titanic/Avatar didn’t exactly reach their box office totals in their initial runs (e.g., it took GWTW nearly 60 damn years to make what it has). A ha! That’s a discussion for another day, though.

And whether in the end Endgame passes Avatar or not (a film which for the record was a December release and it comfortably spent many months in theaters with no real competition for a while... unlike its new competitor), this film was by all means a phenomenal success. The previous films in the franchise notwithstanding, a film that’s being considered extremely satisfying and a great achievement (purely as a film) by most viewers simply deserves its success. Endgame’s critical praise & awesome audience scores... and its pop culture dominance... doesn’t lie.

On a side note, while I guess Avatar has its dedicated fanbase, I have zero doubt Endgame, unlike Cameron’s technical beauty, will be in the minds of way more people a decade from now — that’ll be when the third Avatar will *probably* come out lol — and it won’t be because of its large box office.

EG is actually over performing on its re-release with Deadline reporting a 5 to 6 Million Weekend....all the major sites predicting 3 million...

all in all, The re-release might result in about 15 M ish....

putting EG just a short 20 M or so behind Avatar.

honestly at this point, I think its safe to assume EG is in fact destined to be the highest grossing film of all time...only it might not happen for another 4 or 5 years...

I could easily see Disney Re-Releasing EG before The Next Avengers movie in 4 or 5 years as a build up to the New/Next Avengers film and again adding A New Post credit scene that leads/builds to the next Avengers film....

With The MCU and The continuity and The way theaters and audiences like to do marathons....EG will get another re-release similar to Avatars Years after....and It Will certainty net the additional 20 M+ it will need to take over Avatar....

All in all....Disney Will have The Highest Gross Film of all time(Wink*Queen*Wink)

It has been broken for a while today. During updating there is always a glitch of some sort.

It. Is. Inevitable.
