Endgame is going to have a gargantuan opening, but it'll be way too front-loaded to threaten Avatar.

It may well take down Titanic, but I don't see it going further than that.

They'll wait for after endgame, I thought that was obvious ?
That has always been their way. Give a little taste before the current movie, then go full bore after the current one is released. Noticed how much shit we gotten since Captain marvel has released?

Consistently surprised Ad Astra's release date hasn't been pushed yet. Supposed to come out next month and we've heard absolutely nothing.

Endgame might break the highest grossing single territory opening weekend record twice in one weekend.

Missing Link.

I just watched the trailer again. I think it showed at the beginning of us. Id seen it before but completely forgot about it. It just didnt look like a good movie and i love stop motion stuff.

For a moment I thought you were talking about Endgame before reading the last three words of your post.

Second pass done!
Anyone I missed will be grabbed on the next pass. I might need a bigger train though.

Also, the cinema I go to here in Uruguay is doing on average 17 showings per day from Thursday to Sunday for Endgame, which is pretty much at capacity for them. They didn't do something like that even for the F&F movies (the current OW champions), which is crazy.

Missing Link was barely advertised it seems. Forgot it was coming out this weekend until only a few days before.

Stop-motion is always a tough sell for audiences, but I think the marketing team dropped the ball as well.
Trailer for it played all three times I went to see Captain Marvel.

The trailer didn't make it look really good. Playing "The male presenting hominid is named 'Susan'" as a joke probably didn't help much, but overall there was none of the artistry that made Kubo so interesting to look at.

I'm in Portugal, in a small town in fact, and my ticket is for wednesday at 9pm. that is wednesday the 24th. I assumed it would be for midnight as usual (which would technically be the 25th), but that one is sold out, so they went ahead and added a 9pm one also, because thursday onward was all sold out...

I'm not sure thats even legal, the movie doesnt open until the 25th in europe as far as I know lol.

The UK is 25th, but I understand the film opens on 24th in some other parts of Europe.

Can endgame beat Avatar yes? But one is the conclusion to an epic saga of movies, the other was a brand new IP. That being said, if end game just tramples all over Avatar it doesn't really matter either way

I'm starting to drink the Kool-Aid and think Endgame might be the film to finally surpass Avatar

The ticket sales its putting up basically in every single region are mind blowing. Much larger than anything I ever imagined, even after how well recieved Infinity War was

I can't imagine that happening unless there is something about Endgame that makes people want to re-watch it again and again. Otherwise it simply won't have the legs for it.
