Alright it's over. Endgame didn't dethrone Avatar...

you saw I put it in quotation marks, right?

Avatar won the boomer crowd. Even my mom went to see it and said it was an amazing experience. She never goes to the cinema.

>it's bigger than ever

if he said that for realsies then he's really deluding himself. To point at a movie that's been built up for a decade with over 20 movies and could barely beat second place, without adjusting for inflation, and say that the movie industry is as fine as it ever was is seriously fucking retarded. This is as damning an argument as has ever been made that movie theatres in particular as a form of entertainment are on the decline.

Cameron truly knows how to capture people's imagination. Him and Spielberg, though Cameron is better when it comes to action which is what most people gravitate towards.

not only that, but he did it in the smouldering wake of the 2008 financial crash, where no one had fucking any spare money (at least in burgerland, i was just getting out of college into the 2008-2009 job market, FUCK THAT).

I am also in awe at the ego of this man. Undoubtedly he thinks of himself as the hottest shit ever, and that he'll never be topped. While that may be true for his own little world, it's because his world is falling apart and society is frankly just moving in a new direction in much the same way that railways were left behind in favor of the modern car and airplane. What a fool, a fool and a hack.

Terminator 2 is still the best movie ever made

Not to mention Cameron hasn't has a misstep whereas the last good thing Spielberg directed was Munich.

who were you quoting?

>Terminator 2 is still the best movie ever made
Imagine having this piece of shit awful taste, holy shit I'd go on a shooting spree then turn the gun on myself

Big cope

I'm only worried about how they plan to bring back Miles Quaritch as the bad guy in each and every one of the sequels. What are they gonna do? Have him slowly become less human and more cybernetic? Just have him escape each movie with "I would have won if it weren't for you meddling Indians?" A legion of Miles Quaritch marines made from his extracted gene-seed?

>being invested in a movie no one remembers

>Fun fact: James Cameron OWNS Avatar. Fox, and now Disney, only has the distribution rights but the actual production rights belong to James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment.

He has the rights to almost all the movies he was involved with, including Alita and Terminator: Dark Fate.

It's not even the best Terminator movie, you turbopleb.

is this real? the titantic sinking was a huge tragedy kek

well mister art film connoisseur what do you think is the best film ever made?

Hasn't Endgame been out for less than a month

Sure.

yes it is. Terminator is good, but Terminator 2 is flatly better. Get fucked.

I knew a single god damn person who was so poor he couldn't go to see movies and his mom was dead and his dad was paying for two kids with a shit job. People had plenty of money, you probably had plenty of money but you wasted it on jack shit I am 100% sure of. To point at the recession as a reason that people couldn't go to see movies when movie theatres were still a wildly popular form of entertainment is disingenuous horse shit.

I really don't think they care. Out of the top 10 highest grossing movies, five are MCU flicks. Marvel dominated the cultural landscape for the last decade, it's pointless to even argue about that.
>How is that fucking possible?
Avatar ran in theaters for like half a year, and everyone wanted to see what that new 3D gimmick was all about. Hell, even the tickets were more expensive than usual.

>OHHH NONONO ENDGAME ONLY MADE 2.6 BILLION INSTEAD OF 2.7 BILLION IT'S FUCKING OVER
Do you people even care or do you just shitpost for shitposts sake?

It's pretty fucking staggering how he could just whip up a brand new sci-fi movie and make it the highest grossing movie ever.

What did he mean by this? Avatar wasn't Cameron's first movie user

the fuck you trying to sound work for
is the "new age" capeshit? wth?
endgame was the END not the beginning

eh.. he was more the co-director
it was also a weebshit adoption

First one in a completely new franchise.

This is what amazed me.
Endgame had the whole thing (comics+cartoons+games+toys for decades), Cameron just made a new thing and beat everyone. He's a monster.

Lets be serious even if Endgame beats Avatar, think about how much Avatar 2 will rake in with all those chink numbers and inflation.

lol, so what the fuck do you know about living and working in the immediate post crash job market?

there were a lot of people who had it hard during that time, a lot of belts tightened. when things get tough, entertainment is the first thing to get cut.

this is what makes avatar's gross so impressive is that it happened in spite of everyones collective financial hardships.

think about it this way. you werent working (because you were a child), so your parents flipped the bill. it was around $10-12 a ticket for 3d at the time if i recall, so just the tickets for the three of you (assuming they didnt also have to pay for any siblings you might have had) was around $36. if you got popcorn and a soda, add another $6 a person so now were up around mid $50 range, if you went out to dinner, add another $30, so your parents had to shell out close to $100 if it was a full night out. for people who were struggling just to pay bills, it was definitely difficult to sqeeze that kind of money into a fun budget when considering a family, and if your dad was the only one working, you have a single income (you said your mom was in college, didnt mention weather she was working or not) to support this.

increase the family size to 2 or more children, and it gets even more expensive, as does food, school supplies, etc.

no you dumbass, movie theatres are done. Streaming services are the new age. Think before you post. Actually, next time you think about breathing manually I want you to sit down and think for the first time in your life.

Alita > Endgame

doesn't disney own avatar now? seems like whoever wins, we lose anyway

Avatar 2 will will probably do last jedi numbers

It doesn't matter. Fucking everyone had enough money to go the theatres for big name movies. Especially for THE big movie, the movie from James fucking Cameron. What you are saying is just dumb horse shit trying to play up a god damn movie. How fucking dumb are you?

holy shit you're just a sad seething pile of incellic rage
lmfao
and like hell theatres are done, you sound even more asinine
cameron is creating a whole new form of 3d virtual cinema that'll blow dolby and imax into the stratosphere

A single movie in a brand new franchise, and it wasn't even that fucking good. A masterwork of CGI for sure, but story wise it wasn't anything that hasn't been done before.

How the fuck did Cameron do it? How did it possibly make that much

except that they didn't. your only points of reference are your 2 parents, who (since you were a child at the time), probably didnt disclose to you the full breadth or severity of any financial hardships they were going through. it probably appeared fine to you, that everyone did have plenty of money, because parents don't often tell their children about money troubles.

>The year 2009 saw the release of many films. Seven made the top 50 list of highest-grossing films. Also in 2009, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that as of that year, their Best Picture category would consist of ten nominees, rather than five (the first time since the 1943 awards).

SEVEN movies from 2009 made it to the list of top 50. WOW FILM WAS SO BAD THEN, IT'S SO IMPRESSIVE THAT AVATAR DID WHAT IT DID DURING THE RECESSION

listen man, you're just simply retarded. You're wrong. Nothing Avatar did was impressive at all except be the pioneer in a new form of technology that people thought was cool as shit at the time. People took refuge in entertainment during a shit time, they didn't cut it out entirely. Like I'm mad because you're a retarded Cameron shill talking out of your ass pretending that other people weren't there. We were all fucking there dumbshit.

my frame of reference was literally everyone around me at the time. Everyone went to see Avatar. Everyone. You know why? Because money troubles mean jack shit in the first world. People went to see Avatar. Want to know how I know? Because it's the highest grossing movie of all time.

Nobody cared about Avatar 1 until the trailer dropped. Same will be true for the sequel. People are lame and lazy and they follow the tribe/flock.
The trailer for Avatar 2 will look insanely good, people will remember the good time they had watching the first movie and BAM! People will suddenly want to go back to Pandora. The media will be reluctant at first and then they suck Cameron's Cock the moment they realize this will be successful a second time.

Idk marketing?

Bluray sales don't add into box office sales.

Why bother with this post when its evident youre an idiot?

fact of the matter is, any alita action scene(except for robots in the end) beats any endgame one, even if the thanos one comes close

It's been three weeks you retard

Marvel's lack of genuine stunts destroys my suspension of disbelief. I want to enjoy it, but it feels like they should just turn it into a full CGI fest and just keep the actors as VAs. The post-editing work isn't even as good as Iron Man 1's, and that 10 fucking years ago. Pepper's head moves so weirdly when she's in the air as Rescue as does Peter's when he does his entrance flip.

You are just looking at domestic numbers. Foreign numbers shown on mojo are still current only to may 12th and are not estimated the way domestic numbers are. The foreign estimate for the may 17-19 weekend was around $49 million, so add that to the mojo number posted by OP.

Cope endgame will easily hit 3 billion.

Avatar had over 70 days in theater to reach 2.7. Endgame has done that in less then half. Hell 3.5 billion is on the table at this point.

wow 2019 bugmen are so pathetic that they can't even beat 2007 bugmen

Avatar had very solid numbers even after a month because of great word of mouth. Endgame dropped off hard because people wanted to see it right away and now it's crawling along like a snail.

This. Will Cameron fags hang themselves with a rope or a belt?

lets say it needs 150 mil. 50% drop from 40. 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25. 5 weeks 40 mil. double that for foreign. you aint breakin 100, ill see you in june endturd. thanos sucks, captain america is a faggy mess of bullshit, the hulk is a green faggot, thor is the only man, tony stark is goop and spiderturd is a massive franchise ruining tranny.

>Endgame isn't the kind of movie that has legs.
MCU fans are a different breed, they are the reason people say you never know with a Marvel movie. With Endgame around the corner CM was still beating Shazam and a lot of the other new movies every single day and still making millions. The summer block busters this time will surely play a big factor but I'm seeing more and more MCU fans actively trying to watch Endgame as much as they can just like those Alita incels so you never know. I think it won't do it but it'll be really close.

China is gone may 23, it aint puling 50m international again

the worst part is im gonna see avatar 2 just so i can see something big blockbustery thats not a massive storytelling failure like avengers or starwars.

They should have considered releasing it in December and moving Episode IX to the summer

Still the OP pic of the mojo score doesn't include this current weekends $48.6M of international numbers. That wont update till late next week, but as of tonight Endgame is around $2,664 billion.

We still have the last week for China, and then the memorial day weekend. China is not extending the endgame run primarily to spite America over the trade issues, not because it film is performing poorly, and they denied it a 30 day extension. If Chinese consumers realize this is their last chance to see Endgame that should make for a decent week and also a lot of second viewings.

Nobody even cared much about Avatar 1 after the trailer dropped. It wasn't until the second trailer dropped and the reviews started coming in people got interested, and even then it only made $77M opening weekend.

Why are people so emotionally invested in a mega corporation's franchise movie?

Second viewing is a big part of box office for week 3+. We are going to see the commercials change soon to reflect this.
>its a huge turd
Good thing you are literally nobody, and your second viewing of your cam rip wont affect them either way.

One does not simply go to watch Endgame. There are like movies you are supposed to watch before it. Avatar on the other hand, you just go and watch it.

Avatar was in theaters for 36 weeks. Endgame has been in for three. Avatar is dead

Annon how can you be this delusional? the gap is less then 150 million and the first month isnt even over before may ends it will be ahead and before june ends it will be at 3 billion.

You guys realize endgame has to make 3.3 billion to beat Avatar per adjustment for inflation right?

And if they leave it in theaters another month it'll get to $4B!

Yeah, Endgame is only close because of inflation. Avatar was a much bigger event especially since it came out of nowhere.

>their Best Picture category would consist of ten nominees, rather than five
that's the only reason that street-shitter epic Slumdog Millionaire got best picture, which achievement gave Rupert Murdoch huge cred as he tries to establish himself as a political power in India (after having conquered Australia, UK and USA). He and his studio machine were probably the main force behind the 5 to 10 nominees change.

capeshit is junk entertainment that is forgotten within a week while avatar is literally kino

Very little now.

Keep dreaming.

Yes and it was based as fuck

The fact that tv says it wont, ensures that it will beat Avatar

There are issues comparing inflation that far back (population size, substitute goods, etc.)
