How much more does it need in total?

Basically needs to make about $10m more than IW for the rest of its lifetime from the same point. Currently $257m behind Avatar, IW made about $230m more from this point in its life not counting China, and Endgame should get about $20m more from China.

Endgame not granted extension in China due to trade war. Scratch about $5mil off.

Deadline is saying $7.1m friday and $27.7m weekend for Endgame. If that's true then Avatar dream seems dead unless overseas comes in big time. Edit: BOT insider says its at $7.2m with more counting still to go so that's hopeful.

John Wick 3 making an excellent estimated $57m debut weekend, and pikachu with an okay hold at $23m, hopefully it can leg out to making a profit.

Estimated $29.4M dom weekend for Endgame (same as IW), that's okay. Hopefully it goes up.

Overseas is $51m including thursday, without China that's about $43m compared to $33m for Infinity War. First drop less than 50%. Awesome, just gotta hold above IW now, actuals increasing would be great too.

Without looking at Xev's special sauces (I use the inferior Box Office Mojo, which doesn't do very well with "foreign" numbers).. ..

Endgame will probably be able to crawl out another 80 million in the US.

And it needs to make around 92 million elsewhere.  

It feels so close, but it'll probably be a crawl over the next few weeks at least...

Lol its just a different forum, mojo is pretty meh, they're slow and make mistakes and some data is confusing.

If I was to bet right now I'd put Endgame about $10-20m short of Avatar, it would be a shame to come so close and fail but whatever happens it was an incredible achievement.

A weird mysterious forum.

Srsly? Thought it was trending alright, just above what's needed?

Srsly? Thought it was trending alright, just above what's needed?

Last week gross was just above IW, but it needs to stay above it for rest of lifetime and its been dropping down to IW level so its unlikely it will stay above. Also IW had much less competition from this point on and had some great holds, Endgame won't be the same.

Well overseas actuals up $1.5m which is nice. Well above IW for the weekend (~$39m vs $30m), so even with worse legs it could stay above IW overseas at least. Will certainly be close with Avatar.

It's dropping fast, just look at US numbers:

	Avengers	IW	Endgame
Weekend 2	103,052,274	114,774,810	147,383,211
Weekend 3	55,644,102	62,078,047	63,299,904
Weekend 4	36,686,871	29,452,903	~29,411,000

For the most part, it's holding surprisingly closely to IW.  

After the second weekend, it kind of became a question of whether it was going to stay above IW (because it's a big movie), whether it was going to drop down to IW's numbers (because it's an avengers movie), or whether it was going to start dropping faster (due to being very front loaded, due to being very antipicated)

If everyone goes to see it the first weekend, then legs won't be as good.  

Most days it looks comfortably like it'll hold tightly to IW's numbers.

Only held above IW this weekend because IW got hit hard by DP2, gonna be impressive if it stays ahead in the future.

Edit: $29.97m actuals for Endgame dom.

Endgame doing disproportionately well in vs IW in Canada compared to US, as a result monday holiday in Canada gave a great $3.2m dom monday gross, $500k more than IW on the same day. Split is 2.05m from US and 1.15m from Canada, normally Canada is about 10% of US. Endgame was also #1 movie in Canada over the 4 day weekend, narrowly beating John Wick 3.

Hopefully rest of the week holds well and Endgame can have another week out-grossing IW. IW has monster holds starting a week from now, and will surely pull ahead of Endgame at that point.

Aladdin soundtrack has been released and people love it, which is great. Here's the new song:

Really like it.

Reviews starting to come and its 85% on RT after 13 reviews. So way too early to tell but sounds a lot better than I and most were expecting.
