How Far Will “Endgame” Go in Terms of Box Office Records for the Future

Disney and Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame already has many opening weekend records under the belt, but what else can be expected for the future? — Disney and Marvel’s *Avengers: Endgame* already has many opening weekend records under the belt, but what else can be expected for the future?

Disney and Marvel’s newest record-breaking collaboration, Avengers: Endgame blew through a massive 26 opening records this weekend, along with 44 single overseas market records, totaling 70 overall. While this may seem like the end, Endgame still has many more records to pass through in the future. Here are some that people can expect the massive film to break in the not-so-distant future.

BIGGEST MONDAY-THURSDAY EVER

Monday Record Holder: Black Panther, $40,151,729-FAILED

Tuesday Record Holder: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, $37,361,729-FAILED

Wednesday Record Holder: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, 68,533,840

Thursday Record Holder: Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, 50,013,859

Avengers: Endgame came close to the Monday record, set by Black Panther, grossing $36,874,439 a couple days ago, placing third. However, Panther’s Monday was on a Presidential Day Weekend, so technically, it was too hard to compete with. These not-so-possible records are joined by Eclipse and Revenge of the Sith whose Wednesday and Thursday records are both apart of their weekend grosses. However, the one possible single-day record is The Force Awakens’ Tuesday. Disregarding the week, Endgame broke the record for Friday already.

BIGGEST SECOND WEEKEND EVER

Second Weekend Record Holder: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, $149,202,860

While Avengers: Endgame may have broken the opening weekend record by far, but the second weekend record is still in the grasps of The Force Awakens which helmed a 40% drop from its opening three-day. The average second weekend dip for a Marvel movie is around 55%, with Infinity War sliding 56%—considering this, Endgame has the record in the bag, looking for a second weekend of around 158M. Basically, the film needs to dip 58% or less to take the record.

highest domestic gross after 10 days

10 Day Domestic Record Holder: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, $540,058,914

This record seems extremely easy for Endgame to take. Adding its Monday grosses of over 36.8M, the Marvel picture has grossed a massive 393.9M after just four days in release, whilst The Force Awakens had about 288.1M in four days, giving Endgame a notable head start of around 105M. For the 10 day projection, Endgame is looking to cap around 648M, giving a solid path to break more records.

HIGHEST DOMESTIC GROSS EVER

Domestic Gross Record Holder: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, $936,662,225

This will be one of the toughest records to beat for Avengers: Endgame, winning the domestic long-run against the gargantuan 936.6M grossed in North America by The Force Awakens. For Endgame to claim the domestic record, the film needs to score a multiplier of 2.624x to gross 937M+. The Avengers films have an average multiplier of about 2.7x, that would be just enough to claim the record--however, the massive packings in the theaters even after its initial opening suggest that a multiplier close to 3x would be suitable, this would give Endgame a finish of around 1.071B, which would be incredible, and is not so impossible.

highest global gross ever

Global Gross Record Holder: Avatar, $2,787,965,087

Avengers: Endgame may also break the all-time global total record, which is currently held by the visual marvel, James Cameron’s Avatar which docked up more than 2.7 billion dollars taking the record. Endgame already broke the global debut record, grossing over 1.2B in its opening, currently, after Monday and Tuesday grosses, the film has totaled a massive 1.481 billion dollars worldwide, next weekend, the record-breaking film should top around 2.2B, and the next weekend should result in 2.7B—this means that the record is in Endgame’s bag for the future, and its more than likely that it is.
