I remember summers8 saying that the general audience hates MCU. So, I would like him to explain how this film managed to cause several cinema websites to crash for several hours. It was obviously a combination of Disney Buying tickets and a DDoS attack on the websites by Disney Operatives. Didn't you know? !!!!

The question is, will this even work? Remember, this is being re-released 3 days before the new Spider-Man is released in theaters. It's being re-released up against the second weekend of Toy Story 4, and it will likely get no IMAX screens because of this.
Let's say it adds 20 extra million, will that be enough by the time it ends its run to beat Avatar?

So they really are just trying to push it past Avatar then. They knew it wasn't going to do it naturally so I figured they'd try and do something to nab it. A little desperate maybe. I dunno seems the opposite to me, at this point I think Endgame exceeding Avatars original theatrical run seems very likely given how they were like $12m away and the drop now petered off to not the 40% week to week drop off but 20-25% and it's still made almost $7m domestically this last week from Monday to sunday, and another million just between Monday & Tuesday, so $12-13m over the next month between domestic and international where it also whilst dropped almost 50% over the weekend only dropped I think again 25% of so for the entire week.
Releasing it now seems more in line to keep Avatars record in tact, as it wont now lose the single release record because they are cutting Endgames original release short, I also doubt due to how close Spiderman is that the rerelease is going to exceed the $35-40m needed, not with Toy Story also only coming out this weekend atleast, feels more like a attempt to protect Avatar in some way, imo atleast.

Just to make sure, are they just putting Blu-ray extras after the credit? Or are they actually putting a post-credit scene?

I don’t really see the need to rerelease it so soon. I guarantee there will be MCU marathons and Infinity War/Endgame double features for years to come. Doesn’t seem necessary to do this already.

Avatar was rereleased. I don't know if this is enough to push it past Avatar, anyway. Yeah but Avatar was already the biggest movie ever by far, by like $900+ million. The re-release came out 8 months later and added 9 minutes of footage into the movie. What's happening here is Endgame is going to fall short of the #1 spot by a small amount. So while it's still in theatres, they've just slapped a post credit scene on to the end of it so they can just nudge it over Avatar. That's the only reason they're doing this, to nab the #1 spot. Here's a great article: Endgame's Re-Release Proves Just How HUGE Avatar Was 10 Years Ago

The pitch for it was "Let's take Dance with Wolves, put it in space, and add $200million in visual effects."

Avatar was a freak of nature. Not only is it still the biggest movies but even in 10 years only one movie has even come remotely close to it.

Ultimately both were/are re-released for the same reason...to make money Close Encounters, Saturday Night fever, Star Wars...regardless what some might say, that is why altered versions are re-released

It's now at $2.749 billion worldwide. Another $7 million over the past week, only $3 million of that came from overseas.
So obviously without the re-release it wouldn't have passed Avatar. Whether it can do it with it we'll have to see. It still need another $39 million and it's almost all going to need to come from US.

Siphon a few million off of Spiderman Far From Home by applying the ticket sales of Double Features of Endgame and Spiderman.

Avatar had already reached the #1 spot in its initial theatrical run BEFORE the re-release. Endgame hasn't reached the #1 spot in its initial theatrical release and is only doing a "re-release" in its initial theatrical run as a last resort to try to reach #1. It's shameful and pathetic.

I think it's shameful and pathetic that you're continuing to troll MCU fans. Sad little troll.

If it gets close enough I think they'll try anything to get it past Avatar. I don't even know if it would count or they'd have it as separate like this. www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=spidermeninblack.htm

Because Disney sure is stooping to really low levels and resorting to any trick they can to inflate Endgame's numbers to try to beat Avatar. This is just shameful and pathetic!

That was just something that the flat earthers came up with. This isn't a "trick". It's a re-release and if enough people go and see it and it's able to push it past Avatar then fair enough. It's not even that unique a thing. Jurassic World had a bit of a "re-release" itself on that movies 12th weekend in a similar manner. www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=jurassicpark4.htmBut yeah the only reason this is being done at all is so that it can pass Avatar. I'd hope that it wouldn't but we'll see.

And Endgame is most likely going to beat Avatar's original release record this week so adding a rerelease to beat Avatar's total with it's rerelease is fair play, you just don't like it because.....erm….oh yeah you're "special" I forgot.
