I honestly this picture more than the scene from the movie.

 

It really sends a message of camaraderie between the actresses I really like. Bring on the A-Force!

This is one of the things I will truly miss about this current era of the franchise: the camaraderie.  Not just amongst the actresses, but amongst all of the cast and crew.  Seeing them goof around during press interviews or on the 'gram or wherever else, there's a real sense that the filmmaking experience was truly unique, even by Hollywood standards.

I hadn't thought of this.

Avengers Writers Confirm Marvel's Disney+ Shows Deal With the Aftermath of Endgame

Quote

Unlike the current slate of Marvel TV shows, these Disney+ series will be directly tied to the MCU movies. Now we're learning more about just how closely tied to the films the Disney+ shows will be. As the writers of Avengers: Endgame are now confirming that the upcoming first slate of Disney+ MCU shows will deal directly with the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame!

 

Fandango sat down with Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely to talk about the events of Endgame, when the subject of the Disney+ shows (What If?, Falcon & Winter Soldier, and Loki, to name a few) came up. Here's what Markus revealed about their connection to Endgame:

 

"All I know is that I believe that they take the events of this movie into full consideration. They're not on a side continuum."

 

When asked directly if these Disney+ shows exist in a world where Avengers: Endgame has taken place, Markus followed with, "I believe so, yes."

 

It seems pretty clear where the connections between Avengers: Endgame and the Disney+ series occur:

• Loki - After the 2012 version of Loki escaped custody after the Battle of New York with the Tesseract (thanks to meddling by the present-day Avengers), it now seems like the Loki TV series will follow what happens with the God of Mischief afterwards.
• WandaVision - While Scarlet Witch was resurrected from being dusted by The Snap, Vision was never restored to life in Avengers: Endgame. This WandaVision now seems to be the venue where we could see Wanda Maximoff take steps necessary to bringing her robotic beau back from the dead.
• What If? - Marvel's alternative reality animated series is kicking off with a premiere episode that imagines a world where Peggy Carter becomes Captain America, while Steve Rogers works with Howard Stark to become Iron Man. Before Endgame it seemed as though 'What If?' was just taking a flight of fancy with this storyline; now, it seems like it could be a crucial epilogue to Avengers: Endgame's controversial ending.

$1.785MM, zips past $2BB on FCBD

Deadline's OH SO TIGHT domestic estimate:

Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame is stepping all over everyone with an estimated $44M second Friday, -72% from a week ago (which included $60M previews), on its way to $137M-$177M, a second-weekend take that easily will best the $114.8M second FSS of Avengers: Infinity War last year.

Here's an update to my 12 week domestic projections if Endgame follows a similar pattern to Infinity War:

12 weeks = 946.68 million

Infinity War made just over double opening week @ 338.33/678.81, so I would think 950 domestic is possible.

Endgame does have some competition coming over the weeks though, so only time will tell.

week 1 - 473.89

week 2 - 208.51 (-56%)

week 3 - 112.59 (-46%) Pokemon Detective Pikachu, Tolkien

week 4 - 54.04 (-52%) John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

week 5 - 37.83 (-30%) Aladdin, Brightburn

week 6 - 21.18 (-44%) Godzilla: King of the Monsters

week 7 - 15.04 (-29%) Dark Phoenix, The Secret Life of Pets 2

week 8 - 10.98 (-27%) Men in Black International, Shaft

week 9 - 5.49 (-50%) Child's Play, Toy Story 4

week 10 - 3.78 (-31%)

week 11 - 1.97 (-48%) Spider-Man: Far from Home

week 12 - 1.38 (-30%) The Lion King

I think it's realistic to expect:

850 - 950 domestic (currently 473.89)

650 - 700 China (currently 547.54)

1.2 - 1.4 billion overseas (currently 800)

Potentially passing Avatar & TFA domestically, maybe even 3 billion worldwide.

China got a major boost from their 3 day holiday (Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday) this week, so I expect big drops there next week. Endgame's 2nd Friday only seems to have dropped 40%, so it could reach 600+ with a 50% drop on Saturday & Sunday.

Tuesday $28.34

Wednesday $79.55

Thursday $46.99

Friday $63.03

Saturday $81.98

Sunday $30.96

Monday $18.47

Tuesday $37.99

Wednesday $74.42

Thursday $50.05

Friday $35.76

Total $547.54 million

All 4 Avengers movies are in the top 10 of the worldwide highest grosses. 

Smart move for Disney to buy Marvel for 4.4 billions

Wow. It's gonna pass Infinity War, The Force Awakens, and Titanic all in 2 weeks total..?

As bored as I am with comic movies, I am inversely excited about this movies performance. Please Disney keep my comic book collection increasing in price for another 15 years until I am ready to retire and unload the lot.

The numbers are staggering, but it's comparisons like this that are really eye opening.  Especially when you consider the conversation in the Infinity War thread just a year ago about how impressive those numbers were when they were rolling out.  The #2 film all time in just a little over 10 days is absurd.

The true inspiration for that number has already been revealed - and it's not the run times.  Some other articles also suggested the run times and/or math is a little bit off but I didn't check it myself.

Ahh. I had not read that. Thanks for the details.
