There won't be an Avengers 5 I don't think. For the time being we will be getting individual films with some characters crossing over.
Captain Marvel seems to be more concerned with cosmic issues than Earth. Black Panther has to rule a country. I think Professor Hulk will be kind of a Beast character from this point. War Machine is still around.
I'm curious to see what happens with Scarlet Witch. Valkyrie is staying on earth, so we could see more of her.
Hawkeye is getting a TV series, so he's not retiring. He has been underserved up untill this film, so I could see him carrying on and being a bridge to the new generation.
She saved Tony, destroyed the mother ship and stopped Thanos using the gaunlet before Tony grabbed the stones. She is way too over powered even compared to Thor. I'm not sure how they are going to fix that in future films to make her interesting.
I actually didn't. The part where I came closest to crying was the Hawkeye and Black Widow scene.
Easily the worst part of the film. What was more absurd is that Captain Marvel didn't need any help from them. Since she is basically Invincible and she just blasted through all of the people in her way. Did any of the women actually assist her? Didn't seem like it.
It's actually only just over 3 years since BvS came out. Justice League opened 280m Worldwide. Endgame had 365 by Thursday. That does put a smile on my face.
It will beat the worldwide gross by some hundreds of millions.Beating the domestic total will take some doing, but it's on the cards.
I remember when BvS making a Wordlwide opening of 420m was big news. Endgame will pass that by Friday. lol.
Personally, if it doesn't beat the total box office of BvS in its opening weekend, I will consider it a failure.
Deadlline now says 140-150m Friday and 315-330m OW.
Deadline now has Friday estimates at 140-150m and weekend at 315-330m.
No one remembers Avatar. Starwars has a sequel coming out this year. So I guess you can inflation adjust TFA box office and make a thread about that.
I read that 325m was mathematically possible. But a lot of screenings have been added since then.
Personally I'm going to stick my neck out and go for 320-340m domestically. 1.1b worldwide.
Predictions for Friday total are 130-140m. That will put it 25-35m ahead of Infinity war by Friday. Unless it's heavily frontloaded, then 300m+ is certain. My instincts tell me it won't be.
OK, can you explain to me why you cared enough to look up the Avatar Box office, adjust it using US ticket price inflation rates and make this thread, despite the fact that as you yourself admitted, using this kind of calcuation Avatar is not the highest grossing film of all time?
What was the point of this thread? Why choose the film which is the highest grossing film only when you ignore inflation, and then inflate it's BO gross?
I don't understand what you are trying to say. You are admitting that you OP is nonsense?
The China and Us Box office openings of 350m and 300m respectively alone would seal a 1b opening. If you consider that if you add the China Box office to Infinity War's opening, it made 830m OW. Those two numbers alone would put it close to 200m above IW. I think it will add another 100m in other markets, no problem.
"Dollar inflation will do as it is a reserve currency."
What does this have to do with inflation in other countries and exchange rates? 10 years ago on pound was worth about 1.5 dollars. Now it's about 1.1. So you are doing to take 100 pounds, ten years ago, convert it into 150 dollars, apply us ticket rate inflation to make it 200 dollars, and say that is the same as 180 pounds today? Because "reserve currency"?
Make that a 60m.
So let me get this straight.
You think that every country in the world uses US dollars?
Or do you think that it makes sense to convert currencies into US dollars at 2009 exchange rates, and then apply US ticket inflation rates to them?
If you were going to calculate box office records in this way, Avatar would not be the number one movie. Titanic, amongst other films would be higher.
So why choose a film that is number one without taking inflation into account, then apply US inflation in the last ten years to currencies converted into dollars at 2009 exchange rates?
Makes sense. It's almost like you are moving the goalposts because you are scared that Endgame will make the 2.7b it actually needs to be the highest grossing film of all time.
