Avengers: Endgame will not outgross Avatar worldwide. Who will make an avatar bet about that?

It seems that it's like 6 minutes of extras after the credits. It's an excuse more than anything, but
I'm not entirely convinced this is intended to take the #1 spot and more of a thank you and treat to all the hardcore fans.
We'll know for sure how serious they are when we know the extent of the re-expansion and for how long it goes.
I'll do you one better
Well 22 fresh rated movies, Oscar wins, a best picture nomination, the highest opening weekend ever and 2.7 billion just aren't enough, WE NEED MORE
That is my hunch too, because throwing a few minutes of blu-ray extra features post-credits is not really a strong marketing ploy to beat Avatar.
In that method, Gone with the Wind bitchslaps both of these movies into submission, and will likely never be dethroned.

Hahaha given all the what-if takes, revisionist statements, and generally poor sporstmanship a few on here have demonstrated, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they pull a "Oh, b-b-but that doesn't count as a proper rerelease!!" when it turns out that this little stunt adds literally $483.39 to Endgame's total because rereleases don't make money you fools.
Normally, I would let them pull this get out of jail free card because of how utterly bizarre and ineffectual this particular rerelease is going to be (seriously, seven or so minutes of Blu-ray extras at the end of the credits?) but the wrongheaded pedantry and silly desperation cannot be ignored any longer.
Do you except people joining your side? I'd be open to a different avatar than yours if it ever comes to it (still think it won't) if you want to keep it exclusive

The all time charts for box office include all releases. That is what the industry decided on, and that is what will be followed for this.
I debated about opening it up for people to join my puppies, but it started as me vs the world, and it is only proper it ends that way. If anything that has made it funnier.
The adjusted for inflation chart is a neat curiosity, but is completely useless.
We shouldn't use it in situations like this.

The true divine comedy would be putting some kind of exclusive Avatar 2 teaser in front of the Endgame re-release. Where is your God NOW?!
Too bad.
I'll join the eventual 'Endgame won't get a best pic nom' bet, but we all know that's not going to be exciting or tense, because no way it gets a nom, lol
Endgame to be rereleased in China with a post credit scene from Shang Chi showing Donnie Yen training.
I think people have lost perspective on how big Endgame actually is and how close the totals would have been even before this extra push.
If it beats Avatar, people will pivot from "a few additional minutes won't do anything to boost the numbers for a rerelease" to "well, of course adding an after credits scene would drive Marvel fanboys to sit through this again since it had 22 films of build up!"

Are people really rooting for AVATAR or are people being logical about the numbers?

Logical. It is fun to see records fall, as evident by the insane fucking OW endgame had. But it is more fun to see records absolutely crushed than having the body thrown across the line.
endgame will pass it by $15 and that will be zatt's ticket

lmao I mean, what are we talking about here?
People saying Endgame would never ever in a million years get anywhere close to King Cameron (only joking and totally not serious of course) or the people holding on hope for a rerelease to close the gap and push it the rest of the way there?
If it's the latter, sure, people have been looking for a hail mary in light of the legs, but to paint this as every person backing Avatar at any point as being the "logical" ones just analyzing numbers has to make me laugh.
Disney will probably re-release Avatar next year so it can take back #1 WW for marketing
A teaser for the Avatar vs. Avengers crossover movie. $3 billion is the floor, baby!
That's what I'm saying but being logical is now being twisted to rooting for AVATAR apparently.
My prediction is the extra footage amounts to:
1. A commercial for Disney+
2. A commercial for Far From Home
Disney thanks you for your additional fifteen dollars. Enjoy your commemorative popcorn bucket. Oh, but don't wash it.
I'm speaking for myself here and I'm sure a few others that have been vocal about this. You know who they are.
I've never even seen Avatar and I think at this point Endgame's chances are extremely low.

I still have my plastic Avengers cups from 2012. Still use them. And my Hunger Games ones. Free cups baby!
I liked Endgame more than Avatar. I am just looking at past re-releases for non-extended cuts and nothing g points to this getting a notable bump.
A few Blu-ray extra features and out next week with little lead up points to just a small little fan thank you. I mean it won't even be able to play in IMAX screens or anything.

The banners are already in downtown San Diego right now.SDCC is in mid-late July.
This release is next week.
OP
OP
It is hitting disc on August 13th or 20th based on reports from reputable sites.
Digital will be even earlier. Hell, wouldn't shock me if they do a digital release on SDCC weekend.
I don't see any dates for the home release on the banners or any mention that it's releasing on home video soon.
Hell, wouldn't shock me if they talk up the rerelease in theaters at Hall H rather than push a video release that people are going to get eventually anyways.
OP
OP
I said reputable, like The Digital Bits, Who has had home video connections for decades. Not Comicbook.com.
Even if it doesn't hit on those dates, it is gonna hit by Labor Day at latest.

Less than $50m. In the $40m range. Not sure off top of my head.
It's a leap of faith. That's all it is, Miles.
Fine fine. I'm in. Put me on the list.
I will blame you both equally if I lose.
Someone needs to put Thanos armor on the guy in the coffin and color everyone else blue if Endgame end's up coming out on top, hahaha.
