So is this thing gonna beat avatar WW or what?
Yeah there's now a growing discussion on BOT about whether Avatar is slipping away, a lot of people are still saying "Avatar is locked, no way it misses" but I don't think they've actually put much thought into the numbers we've been getting this week. I think if Endgame doesn't at least match the numbers I mentioned below, Avatar ain't happening barring a sudden turn in late legs.
For future reference: IW weekend was $70M OS-C and $62M dom, lets see how Endgame fares.
Endgame friday looking $16-17m dom according to BOT insiders, which isn't that great. Means it may be heading for around that $62m figure.
I don't pay attention to WW as much as Xev does, but it's looking less likely than it was. I think we'll know a lot more when we see the weekend.
Almost certainly will make another $200m in the US, for the total run.
The movie is way bigger than the last one in China. If it has legs like IW (which I have no idea if it will, it's way outsold IW already), it can expect to make another $60m.
Hopefully Xev will have better numbers, but I think it'll be close.
Be careful with using numbers on boxofficemojo for foreign markets, they do a weird thing with exchange rates which retroactively changes past grosses. IW mad $200.1M opening weekend and $376M total. Endgame is currently projected to pull in $40m more from China, compared with $54m for IW. Endgame burned a lot of demand last week when China had a holiday wed-sat and the exchange rate is worse now.
That means Endgame needs $420m more from WW-C to beat Avatar, and IW grossed $402m from this point (198 dom 204 OS-C)
OS-C for the following week: Weekend 70, Mon: 8.5, Tue: 7.6, Wed: 7.0, Thur: 4.4, Weekend 28.8
dang I forgot how much Deadpool 2 cut into IW's legs, you can see right where it hit. Yeah OS-C should be beatable.
