Avengers: Endgame Being Re-Released Next Weekend With New Footage
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
I asked a friend who is a manager at the local cinema (in The Netherlands) and he didn't know anything about it and he couldn't order it either. So this is either going to be exclusive to the US and maybe some other markets like Brazil as mentioned above, or this is nothing to write home about and they're skipping most markets. Since if this is really going to be released worldwide next week theaters should already know about it by now (which is extremely late) to be able to plan it in free slots in the schedule etc.
You mean the emotional payoff of a Disney franchise finally beating a Disney franchise at the BO or the 20 mins extra?
Nothing says "Super exciting new cut of a movie that you pulled out of your country weeks ago but should seriously consider bringing back because seriously the shit we've added is going to blow your fucking minds" than 7 minutes of tacked-on post-credits Blu-ray extras. China's gonna be asking for
Walt Disney Brazil hasn't confirmed that it will be released next week here. Only that it's coming. Does Walt Disney has a division in Netherlands? Geek sites to confirm it? I don't think they will focus in just some markets.

expecting the next post to be something like: "GUYS DISNEY IS GOING TO USE THEIR MIND-WIPER TO REMOVE THE MOVIE FROM EVERYONE'S MINDS SO THEY WILL HAVE TO SEE IT AGAIN"

It did the exact opposite end of the impossible: it made a billion dollars in its first weekend. It occupied and sold out practically every theater in the country, plus extra showings at insane hours. It's "limping" to the finish line after getting there in, what, a quarter of the time?
The world record for running a mile is a bit shy of 4 minutes. If I run it in one minute, but collapse 5 feet from the finish line and don't cross it, is that impressive?
20 minutes extra? It one deleted scene plus some behind the scenes Blu-ray footage. A total of 7 min combined.

It's definitely unlikely to happen, but I... don't understand, really. Aren't you a MCU fan? Or this is just another "gotcha" from me simply speculating at a China re-release? We don't know what is the extent of this, and while we don't know that, the fact that we already have confirmation of at least a new location should be exciting to you, if you follow box office. Or you just don't want Endgame to pass it (there wouldn't be nothing wrong about that, btw)? Legit curious if this is about Endgame or me posting things, because I really can't tell if this is banter or something else.endgame coming back to china

I'd say no. It would be nice to have a good movie as number one-but realistically unless there is a substantial reason to see this version....
That's always a good and reasonable stance to have, imho.
Now is more likely than ever, but people really want people to think otherwise for some odd reason.
Not everything is aimed at you (this wasn't); someone else mentioned China first.
And miss me with that purity test bullshit.
I'm curious though, there's a boatload of movies coming this month with 3 of them (Toy Story 4, Annabelle, Child's Play) taken up every screen. Where are they fitting this movie? Will it have premium formats or will it be a standard format re-release? This goes without mentioning every other movie releasing this month.
Supposedly the date is June 28 but still. Annabelle releases the 26th an FFH is July 2nd and that will be playing on the majority of IMAX/Dolby screens. So where?

I'm actually legit starting to believe they are going for a legit worldwide release. If they get China this is insanity.

China is probably leaning no, but it's hardly as certain as you make it seem. True, they pulled the shocker of not giving it an extension the first time around, and we can speculate that the reason is the current atmosphere and China — US tensions.
But on pure speculation it's not necessarily less likely that China skipped on the first expansion because they were told that this was going to happen.
Two decent weeks, and Avengers is ahead of Avatar.
Next weekend is this rerelease, than the weekend after that is Spider-man plus July 4th, should be able to squeak by.

Could you imagine if that happens lol both of them? That'd be wild.
I thought about that too. That will be interesting to follow. Who knows with China these days, but it would be neat if it happens before Far From Home.
If this scenario happens, I think it would take at least another two weeks. But who knows, if there is an actual marketing push and this getting worldwide markets even without China, you might be into something here. I'm conservatively thinking September at this point. It will top Avatar's $2.49B first run this weekend, I think.
Toy Story has all the imax screens next weekend. Disney is not pulling them in it's second weekend. Hell you can already order imax tickets for next weekend at my theater for toy story.
I'm sure Disney would to waste one of the annual limited slots on a muthafucking re-release of Endgame in China, when that original release was already on its way out even before it left theaters.
Not that it's even a remote possibility it could even happen considering China literally denied an expansion.
This is why some of you can't be taken seriously.

And my wife and I just saw it last weekend (second for me, first for her). I have great timing and will watch on YT.
I think the early buzz with spider man and its connection to end game might help here. Remember the bounce that captain marvel got with endgame coming out.
Looking at my AMC app it looks like Toy Story 4 will have all the daytime IMAX screens while Annabelle begins it's Thursday night previews with the late night IMAX and Dolby screens. Annabelle will have Dolby on lock till FFH releases it seems. It also seems like they'll be sharing IMAX screens until FFH as well.
Oh I agree but look at what Captain Marvel made
You think Endgame will pull $40m+ when Captain Marvel made roughly $17m the weekend before and the weekend of Endgame, a 3hr movie?
Yeah I just don't see this getting any premium screens at all next weekend.
OP

Well there it is.
Unless it happens to be in Dolby. Just checked again and Annabelle only has IMAX and so does Toy Story Jun 26th+ so if that's the case then it it'll only be for a week right before FFH unless AMC decides to add Dolby Thursday night previews along with weekend/weekday screens for Annabelle.
No I don't , but looks like they are trying? 🤷♂️
Maybe they are trying to get those families that seen it once and needed another excuse to go watch it once more?
You know if Pikachu got an extra 6 minutes of bonus material it would have totally cleared a billion. Just saying.
It would make sense to do it in Dolby since that's the priciest as far as premium formats goes.
I mean, are we just going to pretend Avatar didn't do the exact same thing with a theater rerelease in the summer? It came out before Christmas, and at least in the Toronto area it was still in theaters in like July or August. I remember thinking it was crazy this Christmas released movie was still able to be seen in theaters with my friends in the summer when I got back from university.
Nowadays a theater run is like 2-3 months, Avatar ran for 8 or 9 and commercials kept hyping it up as "Go see this amazing event that everyone's been talking about all spring. We san't believe you've missed it, so make sure you go while you can! Also, 3D."
Can't fault marvel for extending the stay in theaters to a 4th month to beat the record, they'll still manage it in half the time Avatar did.

If a painfully average movie like Captain Marvel can swing that, then yeah I think Endgame has a decent chance.
That was part of its original run. The special edition was released in Late August. It ran that long simply because people kept watching the thing.
