Shows how ingenious the marketing or positioning of Captain Marvel (the film and as a character) was with the post credits scene in Infinity War...

I would agree...I was in Australia at the time and eagerly awaited each weekend's box office numbers for Titanic. I think the fact that there were stories of production troubles and delays, and that it was the most expensive film ever made at the time, made its potential success or failure all...

From BoxOfficeMojo: SATURDAY AM UPDATE: With an estimated $78.5 million on Friday, Disney's The Lion King is on its way to a three-day performance around $190 million if not higher. On top of that, audiences appear to be enjoying what they're seeing, giving the film an "A" CinemaScore in...

FFH made 32.5m on Friday. Heading for 180m+ 6 day! From BoxOfficeMojo.com: SATURDAY AM UPDATE: Sony's Spider-Man: Far from Home brought in an estimated $32.5 million on Friday, pushing the film's domestic gross just shy of $125 million after four days in release. At this point the film is...

My family are going to see it, if only because it re-teams Thor and Valkyrie from the MCU! But I was a little surprised this afternoon, when I checked the Cinemark app for Thursday's showing in XD, not one ticket had been sold! I didn't expect a packed house, but maybe a few tickets had been...

Noticed that, too! Holiday weekend/family moviegoing bump? Or cheap tickets?

So close globally, and yet not quite #1! Still, it allows Disney to market Avatar 2 as the sequel to the highest grossing film of all time. Pretty good position to be in. ;)

The lower prices are somewhat offset by the increased volume? I'm sure there's a select population who wait for discount Tuesdays.

Another bit of trivia: the biggest overall weekend (including all films in release at the time) before Endgame was Dec 18-20, 2015, when The Force Awakens opened (total around $313m). Endgame beat that by $37m.

Yeah, not sure that Ep 9 would have topped Endgame in any event...I think after Last Jedi (which was divisive, to say the least), anticipation might be less than a typical final SW trilogy episode. Whereas Endgame had the double hook of how do they resolve the Snap plus being the end of an era...

Indeed - if they held the fan event on a Dolby CInema or similar premium screen, with popcorn and drinks for like regular price +$5, I might consider it (though I tend to stay away from drinking during the film ;))

I'm with you on this, Josh. Fan event being on a smaller screen kills the idea for me. Always want the best presentation possible. Plus they offer a small token or maybe a poster as a gift. Not worth it. If an RDJ or Evans or other star showed up, then maybe... :cool:

BoxOfficeMojo calculates Titanic's adjusted-for-inflation domestic take at $1.2bn, good for #5 all time. So it seems unlikely at this stage, but Endgame has continued to surprise on the upside, so who knows??? ;)

Given the industry's emphasis is on $ taken in rather than # tickets sold, these records will keep getting broken as long as there is ticket price inflation. The question here is when Endgame's record will be broken. Given the huge leap over Infinity War's $258m record from last year, I'd say...

Looks like $350m is the studio's estimate. Could be a wider variance than usual when final numbers come out Monday. EDIT: posted just after Jake, without knowing what Jake was posting, so apologies for the similar thoughts!
