I think this might do ok.
The superhero extravaganza has enjoyed the biggest first week in history in terms of presales.

Marvel and Disney's Avengers: Endgame has sold more advance ticket sales in its first week than Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the previous Fandango record holder. And it is outpacing Avengers: Infinity War 5 to 1.

That's after the superhero extravaganza, directed by the Russo brothers, sold more tickets in its first 24 hours than any other pic in history.

Endgame begins playing in previews on the evening of April 25, a Thursday. Fandango reports that thousands of shows are sold out throughout the weekend, prompting theater chains to add more screenings around the clock (that's not unprecedented for a big Hollywood tentpole).

The spoilers for Infinity War were all over the place from the start between memes and day 1 leaks. This time I pre-ordered myself so I go in as blind as possible.

Endgame will probably end up having low opening weekend ticket sales with people wanting to avoid the craziness of the release weekend! (maybe not)

Honestly I am not surprised. This film looks very well and I think it will be a boom. In fact, it is alredy a boom

This data is interesting, but it's also indicative of the fact presales in general are getting more and more popular. Which is why the record is constantly broken, even by movies that don't end up out-selling the previous record holder overall.

However End Game will probably surpass IW either way.

I tried to get decent ticket for the premier day here in Denmark. Sat in queue to book ticket before they started selling ticket. Was number 1000 in queue. When I finally got through the queue, any decent seats on the premier evening was taken. By the time I had checked with my friends which of the days after the premier I could reserve tickets for, and got back in the preorder queue, the number of people trying to book tickets had increased to 10000. This is at like 10 am on a work day

The tickets were released here in Denmark today. I was queued for over an hour to get mine. At 10 am on a weekday.

The thirst is real.

And yes, I got mine for the 24th anyway.

I remember when people said Infinity War wouldn't beat Force Awakens opening weekend. Said it was impossible. And now this will be even bigger.

Soooo infinity war and endgame will pay for the Marvel deal by themselves, with the rest of the movies technically being all upside for the mouse. Lord.

That's before all the toys and plastic shit sold... Ridiculous money.

It might blow Avatar out the water. I was curious so I looked at local cinemas and they're all showing Endgame on between eight to ten different screens at the midnight opening and they're all sold out.

The midnight screenings alone might beat out the opening weekends of almost every movie ever, so I don't even want to think what kind of cash they'll bring in over the weekend too.

I had a different experience. I was #1177 in the queue at 10 in the morning. Then the servers went down (kino), but then I went to nfbio.dk and got in and got my tickets for April 25. Then I quit, and went in on nfbio.dk again and got access instantly, and could book another seat right in the middle on April 23 - I didn't do that though.

$280-$300 million opening weekend incoming.

$800 worldwide opening on deck.

Won't beat Avatar or Titanic but I think it will beat TFA worldwide.

I bought 9 tickets but need to refund 6.. I wonder how many others bought more tickets than they needed (in my case it was an accident).

I don't think it's gonna beat Avatar, but I'm starting to think it's gonna do better than both Infinity War and TFA worldwide.

This is probably the first time I've preordered a ticket since maybe The Two Towers. I'm pretty excited.

This is why I never understand when some people were saying that it would make less than Infinity War.
5 to 1 is insane, I was expecting 3 to 1 at the most.
