You're joking right? It passing TA is something that even the most pessimistic box office estimate can't stop. The only way it won't pass or crawl to surpass TA is if Universal and Legendary takes it off theatres worldwide or takes off like 90% of its screens, like today, which is obvioucly not happening. It's only been a month since its release, and it still has a month or two more for its run. How could it possibly not earn a measly $30m more in that time?

JW in one month:

$1.47b

The Avengers lifetime:(more than 5 months in cinemas WW)

$1.52b

JW will clearly pass Avengers, it is close enough and is still making enough money that it will easily pass Avengers and should ,ake over 1.6B. But the length of time in theatres isn't a meaningful statistic if you don't connect it to how much it is currently making. The last part of a films run is practically irrelevant.

Longevity is important to a films success. It is also important since many studios extend their films run to get more money, either to surpass a record or to earn a milestone. It could to jump over 100m,200m,500m, and such or to beat other movies. I wouldn't be surprised if Universal and Legendary extends JW's run by adding more screens if it comes really close to Titanic's total gross to beat it.
