Avengers: Endgame will not outgross Avatar worldwide. Who will make an avatar bet about that?

It will end up topping Avatar. Then Avatar will get re-released and top Endgame again. They will by having these two beating each other through re-releases.

Re-releases of recent movies are not relevant to the box office. No one cares anymore to show up in meaningful numbers.
PhonicpleBone, have you already decided on the avatar for people to wear if you win?
I'm not saying they are. Avatar is definitely getting a re-release before Avatar 2. This is a given. So even if Endgame tops it, Avatar will be able to once again top it, since the difference will be so close to each other. Avatar got $30m for its re-release. With the marketing blitz that Avatar will get once it's sequel gets closer, it would make some bank, maybe even more so than it's last re-release, and more than enough to once again top the highest grossing film record.
I do believe that once new technology comes for theaters and the MCU grows bigger in scale, we will end up getting re-releases of sorts for these films. Not saying something now, while I do believe that Endgame will grab a best picture nomination and campaign heavy for it, with a re-release once that happens next year. Endgame is too good and too big of a blockbuster for the Academy to ignore, imho.
Having your biggest films so close to each other adds for the possibility of hype for each other through re-releases. For me it makes sense that Endgame is pushed to beat Avatar, only to lose the crown eventually to Avatar once again. TL; DR: Disney wins by having these films grossings so close to each other, and I don't think anything will come close to this other than the inevitable Episode X.

This hinges on Endgame making above $860m domestically if it doesn't pick up internationally. I still stand firm on Endgame making $840m-$850m domestically. Avatar shall remain king.
Everyone talking about the next movie to have a chance being Avatar 2 or Avengers 5.
It's gonna be Jaws 5: The Revenge 2.
It's gonna be Jaws 5: The Revenge 2.
I am curious which record stands longer:
The Force Awakens as the highest grossing domestic movie or Avatar as the highest grossing worldwide movie.
The Force Awakens as the highest grossing domestic movie or Avatar as the highest grossing worldwide movie.
I'm assuming this person doesn't have a job and has been sneaking in.
Avatar 2 will. Man. I can't wait for someone to go back in this thread and compile a compilation of the "it's inevitable" posts.
I saw each Lord of the Rings movie at least eight times in theaters.
And I was eight.
If anyone judges you for watching a movie you loved multiple times in the theater they're lame and should be ignored
Hoping that Endgame still has enough in the tank to do it, but recent comments from people who know their shit in Box Office ERA aren't encouraging
Are t
I mean a move came with an earishot of Avatar's run. TFA domestic run is just insane.
What will be worst? Cameron fans gloating their superiority, MCU fans finally busting that nut, or PhoncipleBone being the most boastful bastard to ever walk the earth? I think no one wins. Pls asteroid destroy this planet.
No way
Avatar 2 isn't going to do enough to do those kinds of numbers. The sequel that came out a decade after the first movie. I'm betting a lot of ppl don't care about avatar anymore and the 3d gimmick is dead. And we know there are another three or four avatar movies coming. So why would ppl rush out to see the second film in a four or five film series?
$2,677,472,736 according to this
TFA. Endgame had an opening week over $100M higher, and still will finish nearly $90M behind.

Yet it took 22 years for a movie other than Avatar to pass Titanic. I dunno which will last longer.
Honestly, I think the Endgame domestic OW will hold longer, because that was so fucking far ahead of everything else, while total gross can be a marathon.
TFA will last longer because the rest of the world doesn't care about Star Wars as much.
