According to Deadline sources, before Avengers: Endgame even flickers one image on a movie screen ahead of its Thursday night previews nationwide, advance domestic ticket sales for the Russo Brothers-directed Marvel sequel are estimated to be north of $120M with some figuring they're as high as $140M. These figures do not come from Disney.

Note that The Force Awakens presales were estimated at $100M on the Monday before release, so this is truly an historic, record shattering figure.

As far as how a $300M opening stacks up. The current OW record is $257.7M held by Infinity War, so it would be a gigantic increase.

$1 billion opening weekend

Yes, record breaking numbers. That's all.

[TerminusFox]

Lol and here I thought it'd be around 260 million this weekend just barely scraping by its previous record

 

[Couscous]

1 billion opening is happening. I will be there tomorrow night.

 

[ElliesKnife]

It's all been leading to this

 

[Anth0ny]

For the record:

The current Opening Weekend record comes from North America: It's $257 million by Infinity War.

Endgame could potentially hit $300 MILLION IN BOTH NORTH AMERICA AND CHINA, not only shattering the record, but doing so in two territories.

and for those saying that the 3hr will have a negative affect

Math provided to Deadline by B.O. analysts specified that four or five showtimes a day of Endgame on 5-8 screens per location, at a 70% capacity at 12,000 U.S. auditoriums could hit that box office threshold

1 BILLY OW!!!!!!!

Checking the theatres around me, this is the first time i've seen 2am, 6am and 8am shows for the entire weekend. Theatres are definitely ramping up.

For context, #1 domestic opening is Infinity War at $257 million. Force Awakens is #2 at $247 million.

So yes, $300+ million domestic opening for End Game would be record smashing.

Shit. I really don't want to see it in a jam packed theater. I have couple days off during the week so maybe an early matinee won't be so bad.

 

[Haloid1177]

Does RDJ get a box office take off this?

 

[chezzymann]

I feel like people are going to be disappointed if it makes 270-280 now. Which would still be insanity.

 

[ratcliffja]

So how long before 2 billion WW? 3 weeks?

Lol well I'm going opening night with my dad because it's tradition for us and then going with two different friend groups Friday and Saturday night. And I'm completely okay with it. This franchise is a big deal for me personally so I'm absolutely ecstatic to dive right into the thick of the hype.

 

[DeltaRed]

When you include China's opening weekend to the opening international weekend for IW it was around $840m. If Endgame opens 50m+ in NA and 70-100m+ in China compared to Infinity War, then include what the other countries will probably increase by, it should smash past 1 billion in the weekend.

I get your overall sentiment but Assigned seating and reclining chairs is what made going to movie theaters bearable again...how could you hate those two things specifically.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Is that a lot? I don't follow this. What was Avatar's OW like?

 

[Deleted member 887]

I'm going Thursday at 6:30. Me and a friend are getting there at 6. I'm going to try an see it again that weekend lol.

I abhor that shit. I'll take a simple $12 ticket in small quieter theater thatnk you. Not interested in having to buy tickets ahead of time and lose flexibility in my day, not super thrilled about not being able to move if people sit next to me, pretty much shit all around. I don't even like recliner chairs ANYWHERE.

Its all garbage driving up the cost from desperate theaters trying to squeeze tighter as overall revenues have fallen flat or even regressed.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Wednesday can't come soon enough.

 

[ZeoVGM]

If true, it would mean that Avengers was the first film to top $200m, Avengers 3 was the first film to top $250m and Avengers 4 will be the first film to top $300m.

Almost two decades after the original Spider-Man was the first film to cross $100m in its opening weekend.

Superhero fatigue, indeed.

1 Billion WW OW is in play.

Both would be records.

 

[Hey Please]

Will this be the first movie to potentially recoup all of its development budget during its opening weekend domestically alone?

Insanity. Endgame is the first movie to make me spend a lot of money to book premium seats opening day with my girlfriend and a dear friend at Regal soooo yeah lol.

 

[auicc]

local theater around me is doing showings for 12 hours straight starting at 6 pm on the 25th so I'd say the ramp is real lol
