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

Worldwide gross of Endgame is 2,765.8 billion. Avatar is 2,788 billion.
Endgame is 99.2% of the way there.
To put that in perspective, Titanic is 3rd with 2,187.5 billion. That's 78.4% of Avatar.
It's a small gap to close. Whether it does so or not, the movie has been a smashing success. If Endgame gets the record, it will be by a slim margin and will not diminish the success of Avatar.
Infinity War made 5.5m from this point on and Avengers nearly 10m and Endgame's Monday and Tuesday were well above both of their equivalent days.
Yes...because of the thirsty re-release/expansion of Endgame. It was trending below IW before then. This bump is going to be short lived and Endgame is going to drop hard. It already has had a decent drop.
Endgame is only up because of the expansion, people wanting to see the Blu-Ray extras and getting that poster. Before the expansion Endgame had 985 theaters and it has roughly 2k theaters now. Before the expansion Endgame was behind IW for almost 5 weeks straight. Had it not been for the expansion that trend would have continued and Endgame wouldn't have made as much as it has been making since it's expansion so it's not a 1-1 comparison.
Comparisons don't make any sense anymore due to Endgame's re-expansion and revamped marketing push, as small as it might be.
Who will be proven right? The naysayers or the true believers? Logic or emotion? Facts or faith?
I fully expect Disney to bullshit their way into Endgame winning just in time to announce an Avatar worldwide re-release
because people have been watching to many cape flicks and its brainwashed them into thinking that the underdog is guaranteed to come out on top in the end
Who was victorious in the Avatar film? I seriously don't remember, I fell asleep watching it
That's probably true. The underdog will be knocked out any second now. Aaaaaaaaaaany second now.
Must have been the people with the guns and machines. Couldn't have been the underdogs.
Pretty sure the message of the movie was "the winners stay winning. Fuck the cat people."
I would pin the blame on Japan. If the country more about MCU than it currently does, Endgame would be #1. As it stands now, Endgame did really well, but Aladdin's already pulled far ahead of it.
I think Japan is just taking its revenge on the US for Godzilla.
Well this entire thread is about a bet so if you want to do that just sign up.
I think it's too close to call but lean towards it probably making it. Even worst scenarios get it to within single digit millions of the record and Disney aren't just going to let it finish that close.
I always knew you were willing to make that bet. Good for you my Friend. As for avatar, I think it will remain king

They all talk big but when it's important they chicken out.
Only thing left to say is.
Pathetic
What if endgame baaaaarely beats Avatar but then Avatar gets a second release. Has enough time passed and is there enough reason people would see it again? I personally didn't like Avatar but I think this whole thing is so dumb that I want crazy things to happen

Or maybe he did and I missed it. But I don't have him on...THE LIST
"On a more serious note"
Yes, because that sure isn't relevant to the current state of the world.
I guess if only Avatar had absolutely nothing of worth to say like the MCU, then it would be even more relevant.
I'm not sure, but am I on the List, I remember being there before it made crazy numbers.
Not sure if I shouted loud enough to get noticed.

For Endgame to take it? If so I missed it. I shall rectify! Thank you.
My bad, for Avatar to keep the crown
If you are SO sure, then take the bloody bet already if you haven't. It makes one look so incredibly weak to stan so hard, but not taking the bet. Do it and all will be forgiven
Ok, let's be serious for a moment here. We can debate about the depth of the exploration of themes in the MCU but it really is absurd to suggest that the movies have nothing to say. There are many movies in the MCU that tackle topics that are relevant today, starting from the movie that started it all, Iron Man. You are showing your bias here.

OP
they say stuff without really saying anything, they try hard to not offend anyone please
He still hasn't followed through on the last avatar bet he took, why would he follow through on this one?
Hard disagree on that. I think some people are simply determined to consider these movies mindless blockbusters before even watching them. There are very obvious themes, topics and questions in almost every MCU film.
