I usually reserve posts about movies for Friday afternoons or the weekends but what happened with Avengers: Endgame this weekend was pretty extraordinary. The film broke every opening weekend record that exists, earning an estimated $1.2 billion dollars in its first five days. To put that in perspective, Endgame made more in its opening weekend than Captain Marvel did in its entire run. Same for Captain America: Civil War. The number of records the film broke this weekend is actually too many to recount, but for example, Endgame is the #1 worldwide opening, the #1 domestic opening, the #1 foreign opening, the highest single-day gross, the highest single-day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It’s the #1 weekend opening. The fastest to make $100 million, $200 million, $300 million, etc. And it’s the highest per-screen gross. Executives at Disney had predicted a strong domestic opening in the range of $250 million domestically. On Saturday they had to revise that estimate upward and the film wound up making an estimated $350 million. That’s especially noteworthy because the film is 3 hours long. Once you add in all the previews and time for people to enter and exit the theater, it can only be shown 3 times in each 12 hour period. The big question now is where it will end up. It seems likely to finally knock James Cameron’s Titanic out of the #2 worldwide slot but no one is sure if it can dethrone Avatar. From the Hollywood Reporter : T
