Avengers: Endgame advance ticket sales set new record; outpacing Infinity War by 5 to 1

Yeah this movie is going to be a monster holy fuck
Wonder how it compares to advanced ticket purchases w/ The Force Awakens
3D won't be a big factor, but premium screenings like Dolby, IMAX, and XD are much more prevalent than they were with Avatar.
Buddy of mine got 4 tickets for a 7am showing on Friday the 26th. We got two extra tickets and those tickets have already been grabbed by other friends.
Fucking can't wait.

Imagine how much more it could have sold if those people on the other ERA thread watched it too. It could have been outselling IW 5 to 1.
You can PM me the end credit description, Im not kidding, do so, I like spoilers.
Yes but Avatar was THE 3D movie. Everyone was saying see it in 3D. Endgame isn't getting that level of integration from Dolby, IMAX, or 4DX.
Honestly, these movies continue to surprise me. I was unsure that Infinity War would beat the first avengers and I was unsure that End Game would beat Infinity War but at this rate, who knows.
Marvel are doing fantastically, can only be applauded at this point.

I had A LOT more trouble getting tickets for Endgame than Infinity War. The hype is astronomical.
Honestly I still think this is gonna be crazy frontloaded, have a monster opening weekend, but then end up with roughly the same final total as IW
I think Avatar will be hard to beat for now but I can see it staking a claim to the 2nd biggest film of all time.
RDJ must be sat there licking his lips over these articles!

Endgame's biggest challenge is going to keeping sales up 2-3+ weeks down the line. May has Detective Pikachu, John Wick 3, Aladdin and The Secret Life of Pets 2 all vying for the 'mainstream' cinemagoing audience.
If I had to bet I'd say that it's going to absolutely blow up the box office in the first two weeks and then fizzle out slightly with a total only 'somewhat' higher than Infinity War's. It's gonna be a massive film any way you look at it, though.

Reinforces my decision to be nowhere near movie theaters the weekend this gets released. They're going to be madhouses.
It won't make as much as Black Panther domestically and will probably end up just ahead of IW. Some tough competition in the following weeks.
I'm watching it on the 24th. I'm gonna feel tired at work the day after but whatever
Why are people so obsessed about movies making more money than some other movie? What is this supposed to mean?
It's going to beat Avatar, I'm sure of it.
Hell, it's almost as if people were in a DISCUSSION forum to DISCUSS things. One of those things happens to be sales.
Goddamn, the hype is real. The culmination of a decade of work into this three hour money tsunami...
However, I imagine the actual quality/content/outcomes will decide and drive whether it reaches Avatar levels or just ends up ahead of IW. If it's that good/satisfying people will assuradly come back for 2nd (and 3rds) and drive word of mouth like crazy.
Hopefully, it doesn't disappoint.

Yeah I just talked to a friend who works on an AI of sorts (it's ML, but people know the term AI more) that predicts BO sales, if you don't believe me, see my post here:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/wk...ers-bring-down-the-panther.31881/post-5985077
(it opened at $28 million, was told ahead of time what their ML model predicted)
You'd think ticket pre-sales would be a big marker for their data model but according to my buddy they've had to practically throw it out as a marker.
Unfortunately no on Avatar.
It'll do the same $700m dom and $1.3b os as IW. Maybe a little more to get to Titanic though.
I'm also saying it "only" does the same $250m-ish ow as IW. The outpacing in presales will just eliminate the walk up factor and still be the same amount of shows sold out, etc. (less so with the longer runtime). Which is still an insane OW of course lol.
Yupp, that's where I'm seeing it and that's how I managed to get two tickets. Their screenings are super aggressive, which is great!
It's not going to beat Avatar. It's not gonna pull $700m more than the movie it's a direct sequel to, especially with how crowded the blockbuster landscape is this summer.
IW only ended up $30m behind Black Panther domestically so there's no reason to think that Endgame can't surpass it.
Definitely.
Feige's next contract is going to have many, many zeros. Maybe all of them.
