And the Official number is $357,115,007 Domestic OW... I am without words right now...
By the way that's 500K short so that the difference with the previous record (IW) was 100 Million Dollars.
So it beat the previous record by practically 100M. I don't think this will happen again...
it will never happen again, and don't see the ow record broke for at least another 5 years

Yes, the OW will be broken eventually, and the new one will be broken too. However, a difference of 100M between new record and the old, I don't think so...

It really is unbelievable, I've been paying attention to this box office business since 2005. So I've seen the record broken a few times starting with Dead Man's Chest. The Avengers made waves because it broke the record by what was a significant margin of $38 million.
Then The Force Awakens made it by an even wider margin still, in December of all months.
I'd have been very curious to know what The Force Awakens would have made had it opened in May. That's something that would have had a very good chance at making $300 million itself...well no it almost surely would have but I don't think it would have opened as high as this, maybe.
But this Endgame is just incomparable from anything before it. I don't know what could ever pass this now. The only thing you could even suggest would be Avengers 5. I doubt Black Panther 2 could compare even if the first actually was more successful than Infinity War.
An eventual Harry Potter 8 with a returning cast would probably open big but not like this. No Star Wars movie will do it. No other superhero movie will do it. The Lion King won't do it. There's no other old series that could be revived that could do it as Star Wars is the biggest one.

The MCU is now situated firmly at the top of the pop culture totem pole. Boom goes the dynamite. Jim, sit tight, we're coming for you.

Well it'll be interesting now to see if it can hold out enough to pass The Force Awakens.
I don't think that it will, if it had the exact same legs as Infinity War it would just about do it but by all rights it shouldn't.
Just based on the weekend alone Endgame has been more front loaded. It's Friday to weekend multiplier was 2.27x whereas Infinity War was 2.4x.
It's gotta pass Avatar though.

Over $1 billion haul in one weekend ...not too shabby.

I can't see the MCU remotely touching this until their next Avengers finale bookend, likely about 10yrs away.

According to Deadline it's looking to make $37.6 million on Monday which is a better drop than Infinity War had. deadline.com/2019/04/avengers-endgame-monday-box-office-400-million-milestone-1202604508/"Endgame ranks behind Black Panther‘s all-time record of $40.15M (which was Presidents Day) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ ($40.1M) first Monday. Endgame‘s Monday was -58% from Sunday. Yesterday also repped the best Monday that April ever posted, exceeding Avengers: Infinity War‘s $24.7M Monday by 52%. This brings the domestic total for the Russo Brothers directed sequel to $394.7M. Endgame will fly past $400M today, becoming the fastest movie to do so in five days, beating Force Awakens’ eight-day pace to that milestone." There's also a very early prediction for the second weekend of $180 million. So that'd be $575 million without Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It could probably pass Infinity War by its second weekend.

This is mind boggling.

Does anyone still think it won't make more than Infinity War? I recall that it was a popular opinion before this movie came out.

With an apples to apples comparison, Infinity War opened with $840 million. So if Endgame has an almost $400 million head start then it's not going to lose that before it hits $2 billion. It probably won't be all that far off from passing Infinity War by this Sunday.

"Assembling a further $82.2M in 55 material offshore markets on Monday, Avengers: Endgame has now rushed across the $900M milestone at the international box office. That’s in less than a week of play as it careens towards $1B overseas through today. The updated offshore total through Monday is $948.7M for $1,342.6M global."
Almost half of Avatar already.

deadline.com/2019/05/avengers-endgame-tuesday-box-office-marvel-record-1202605214/"Avengers: Endgame‘s chalked up an estimated $33.4M yesterday, which is the best Tuesday result for any Disney Marvel Cinematic Universe release, besting last year’s Avengers: Infinity War ($23.4M). Among all Tuesdays, Endgame ranks third behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($37.3M, Dec. 22, 2015) and Sony’s 2012 The Amazing Spider-Man ($35M, July 3, 2012)." So it had a lighter Monday drop than Infinity War but the Tuesday drop was harsher. It probably passed Age of Ultrons worldwide gross yesterday. Also because it's worth mentioning, all four Avengers movie are in the top 10 highest grossing movies ever. I don't think anything like that has ever happened before, the closest was Harry Potter which probably had 4 or 5 movies in a top 15 at one point.

That's odd, they said $1.342 yesterday. They say $105 million on Tuesday...and somehow it's at $1.48 billion now? Man this is rocketing upwards.

You have to include the 33 million domestic, but since you like to wait for slow boxofficemojo to update. At the end the figure is correct...

So can it beat Avatar? Like does it have a good chance, or is a big maybe? It does have a very good chance. At this rate I'd bet that it would more than that it wouldn't. If Endgame had the same worldwide multiplier as Infinity War then it'd make about $2.98 billion. It might have a worse multiplier because maybe people rushed out to see it I don't know if it's doing extra well in China that it might make up for it. I think it's got a better chance at passing Avatar worldwide than passing The Force Awakens domestically anyway.

I will be very very surprised if it passes Avatar. The Avatar numbers were just a freak occurrence.

I will be very very surprised if it passes Avatar. The Avatar numbers were just a freak occurrence. When Avatar came out, I was still in contact with a lot of people from my old business. Usually on Thursdays were half days there. The people would vote and we would go to a amusement park, go see a movie, go out for dinner. I remember for 3 week straight people picking Avatar. Not people who just said lets go to a movie. They specifically want to see Avatar. I was cool with it I had seen it the Monday after it opened up. And it was people who you wouldn't expect either. Jayne voted to see it. A little old lady who was the receptionist and only worked part time so she'd have something to do with all that time. Susannah another little old lady that worked in processing. And Tommy a 22 year old recently graduate from College in his first job. The cross section of people that wanted and saw that movie was pretty much random as I could see.
