The gap is less then $20 million now. Even if it has a somewhat shorter theatrical run then the previous Avengers movie domestically it still should stay in theaters long enough to make another $20 million plus domestically. I'm guessing it will stay in theaters domestically until at least early August.

Domestically? That seems a tall order. The Last Jedi, for instance, had less than $10 million left after it posted a ~$4m weekend, and that was with 20 - 25% less theaters than Endgame has right now.

So close! Seems like it still has a good chance as long as it's not completely removed from all theaters.



I wish the re release was in my theater, I want to watch and support it again



Nothing major is being released this week so it shouldn't loose a lot of theaters domestically until The Lion King comes out on July the 19th.

No it wont. Its ending gross will be 2.768 billion. Not too bad.

Good guess but its ahead of that number now, but without the faux re release domestically it probably ended up at or close to that number.

According to Box Office Mojo, Endgame now sits at $2.772B ...just under $16M to go!!!!



I saw the re-release of Endgame and I think they kind of cheaped out on the extra footage. They didn't even do a full CGI shot on the Hulk in the extra scene. Basically all they did is put a couple of extra things up there that would be on the Blu-Ray extra footage and the Blu-Ray comes out in a few weeks anyway.

I think they could have gotten more people to come out if they had done a better job with the extra footage, but they kind of shot themselves in the foot.

I was so sure about this but I never considered the fact that Marvel could release another film and end the possibility. Doesn't luck like it eill pass iy now, its too much for even the repeat watchers to close the gap. I still reckon it wins in sheer audience numbers cause Avatar had crazy ridiculous ticket pricing for 3d and all that shit.

I cannot speak about the U.S. but in my country tickets are actually more expensive today than they were back then. I vividly remember paying the equivalent of $4.86 to watch Avatar in 3D back then, and just today I paid $5 to watch Far From Home in 2D.



My assessment was right, this movie was very heavy front loaded as people wanted to avoid spoilers, especially after the way the first part ended.

Even with a re-release to try a cheap way to get the number 1 spot, it still struggled to spark a lot of interest. It is only a matter of how long are cinemas will continue to run it or fans for that matter willing to go again to try and beat Avatar



 

 

I was expecting it to beat Avatar because I am still surprised Avatar did that well. Yeah, I know it was pretty revolutionary in terms of effects, but it did not have a memorable story. It was basically just dances with wolves with an extremely well done generic paradise. I literally never hear people talk about the movie...ever. There have been few instances I've heard it discussed in media and it was precisely due to its budget or sales. End game I see everywhere. I expected it to win just because of how much it is part of pop culture and social media.
