Doesn't mean the accomplishment EndGame is setting isn't incredible per say, but when the price of tickets is almost the double from when I saw Avatar back then (Around 8 CAN$) and now you gotta shelve 15 bucks just to go see one ... |
We don't take inflation into account because its a dumb thing to do, if we do that Gone With the Wind would be forever the number 1 BO ever. However Gone With the Wind screened for almost 1 year and ppl didn't have TV sets back them, the only way to see the movie ever was to go to the cinema, so if you want to adjust to inflation you have to also destroy every TV set in the world and leave Endgame on the box office for almost 1 year as well.
Engame is still tracking ahead of Infinity War and IW made around 600m from its 12th day till it ended its run, in other words Endgame is on track to make 700m more or less till it ends its run beating Avatar confortably. Other movies comming out don't realy matter cause IW had other movies in its way too and we're comparing Engame to IW now to know where the BO will likely end. In fact Endgame's behavior is almost identical to IW if you ignore its first week wich was phenomenal and way bigger than expectations so projections are most likely correct here.

It deserves it cause it is the biggest cinematic event ever, its the culmination of 11 years of storytelling and 22 movies. Theres no denying the fact that Hollywood has never before seen something like the Marvel did in the last decade and it might never happen again. Also the movie is incredibly competent considering the task it had to accomplish, it shouldn't even exist yet it does and work very well as a closure to a cicle.
See above, adjusting to inflation would only ever make sense if you also change the world to perfectly mirror how things were on the momment of release of these movies, it'll never make sense and thats exactly why ppl don't do it for tracking BO.
