MikeT14 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 It (surprisingly) did not have the highest 2nd weekend ever. TFA still owns that. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/weekends/moreweekends.htm?page=2&p=.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprisingly, it hasn't held up during the weekdays compared to TFA and won't have as strong of legs post-2nd weekend. And yet, it still made more in its second weekend than a lot of movies make in their entire domestic run at $145.8m, which is scary to think about.

THE DUKE Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I don't think Endgame hits the domestic record, but with how strong it's doing internationally, I think the Global Box Office record not only falls, I think it may pass $3 billion.

It won't hit $3 billion. It'll squeak by Avatar, Disney will make sure of that. It's now fallen behind pace of Star Wars: The Force Awakens domestically. Just goes to show how much of a phenomenon that movie was 4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it certainly was a nostalgic phenomenon, I think timing had as much to do with it as anything. IIRC. it came out around Christmas time (when a lot of people were off for an extended period of time) and didn't really face any stiff competition in the winter months, which allowed for continued growth. Whereas Avengers is dealing with looming summer blockbusters, which will ultimately put a screeching halt to it's box office reign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFA biggest competition was the Revenant three weeks later and Kung Fu Panda 3 six weeks later. The following weekends for Endgame had/have Detective Pikachu two weeks later, John Wick 3 three weeks later, Aladdin four weeks later, Godzilla 2 five weeks later and Dark Phoenix six weeks later. They might not be direct competitors but those are all relatively big movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Xmas / New Year’s Holiday basically creates 2+ weeks of weekend day ceiling potential. And that Jan-Feb list of movies is stunningly weak. Still there’s no denying the “must-see event” status TFA had. Just like how IW and Endgame have earned that status. In today’s era it takes extra effort to win over viewers to “have to” see it in theaters. When Endgame takes over the #1 global record it’s hard to see anyone approach it for a generation or more.

Not a great movie, but solid enough while being a lot of fun and as much as I doubted Alden Ehrenreich based on the trailers I thought he got the essence of the character pretty damn good by the end (with the assist from Ron Howard's edit). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 John Wick 3 had a really strong opening. It could crush box office projections for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
