It outgrossed Aquaman domestic and worldwide in one weekend. The biggest grossing dc film.
Most theaters near me don't even have close to "primarily 3D showings". 2D premium formats and regular 2D make up the vast majority of showings these days. The only thing I'd agree on is the frequency of 2D IMAX showings compared to 3D and even then IMAX accounts for one screen per theater at most so it's not even like that discrepancy is enough to tip the scales to mainly 3D showings being offered.
The 3D is good, but there are only a handful of scenes through much of the movie that benefit...that is, until the 3rd act. Then the 3D in the action of the climax is great and staged to make things pop.
People saying it didn't add anything at all probably weren't paying attention to that scene.
You're in for a treat. Dolby is the best way to experience movies now IMO.
Are there any (prominent) DC fans still salty about Marvel's success? I thought that ship had sailed and sunk a long time ago now.
DC / WB is slowly getting their act together. They have the pieces to build this level of success, someday, if they don't rush it and don't force it. No need to rub it in, at least to anyone not asking for it. This movie outgrossed all the early Marvel films too, of course.
Yes. It also did 1.67 domestic and 3.11 worldwide Solos this weekend!
Or you could also say the OW domestic for Endgame was Infinity War + Iron Man 1.
You know, if they make the next 5 years equally as good as it has been, leading to a new Avengers movie.. and work in epic re-appearances from OG Avengers, I might be able to see that happening.
Our local theater got converted sometime recently, so going for the first time. Excited!
No way. TLJ (which i love) was too controversial. IW was pretty much universally loved.
Yeah I'm just browsing though AMC trying to get an idea of how many people are seeing Endgame tonight, and a ton of the screenings are still 80-90% sold out. For a Monday night! I have to say I am more curious about how well the movie is doing on weekdays than I was about opening weekend.
The writing was on the wall for this past weekend to be historic. I'm really interested to see if the movie can surpass $200m at the box office in the second weekend, personally. Some really intriguing storylines going forward, now that the humongous first few days are behind us.
Lots of people who didn't get the chance to see Endgame last weekend are taking the day off. I wouldn't be surprised if Endgame ends up with the best legs in MCU history.
Endgame was a very special theater experience, it deserves all this money. It was the first time in my 29 years of life that I felt that I was really watching an "event" film.
I have been thinking the opposite -- that the legs won't be so good, that Endgame is going to be particularly front-loaded since people were eager to see the previous film's cliffhanger ending get resolved, and wanted to avoid/negate the spoilers that would become pervasive after this weekend. They've succeeded in getting every Marvel fan to see the movie in the first weekend, whereas previously folks would probably wait a couple weeks.
I guess it remains to be seen how much the film resonates beyond its usual audience, and whether or not the more casual audience gets drawn in for subsequent days and weeks. Looking good so far though, if they can fill up theaters on a Monday.

Saw it yesterday, and this is the first Marvel film since Winter Solider I might actually watch again in theaters. Later, of course, when there are somewhat better seats.
Plus I'm skeptical that theaters are going to be willing to continue showings at 2AM for a second weekend
Also a fair take. We're in uncharted territory here. I would say the same thing if it were not for that A+ Cinemascore, which makes me think that Endgame could have stronger legs than expected for such a fan-focused film.
They don't need to run showtimes at 2:00 AM for a $200m weekend. We know that, because other movies have done it without those showings. It's not going to do $360m it's second weekend. No one expects that.
So do you guys think Spiderman is going to get a big EG bump when his movie comes out? Homecoming did 334 domestic and 880 worldwide. If it's a good movie I'd be surprised now if it didn't do Captain Marvel numbers or close to it at least.

I think about a 60% drop is in order. I could see a 150m second weekend
Yeah for sure .
Everyone wants to know how the saga continues. I think it will surpass Captain Marvel.
Yeah plus force awakens was the high water mark for Star Wars. They had a 10 year break so no fatigue and three years of buildup
1 billion is the floor imo. I expect it to do better than Iron Man 3.
Check the Facebook comments on any endgame article
They're full of stupid criticisms and "Shazam was better"
Come on 200 million second weekend. I want to see it shatter every record imaginable.
I think that's def too crazy but who the hell knows lol. I'd say it'll def get the second weekend record though with about a $165m weekend.
If 200 million second weekend happens TFA domestic is going down
Yes, but those days were no school days. And a lot of people have off around xmas break.
Ah damn another advantage to the December opening. Endgame would probably shatter 3B if it came out in December
He said "prominent", there are always going to be fanboys in the comment section no matter what company.
I think Spiderman will hit a billy worldwide. People were going nuts for Spiderman when he came back on screen during both times I went to see endgame on the weekend. I think Spiderman will get the IM3 bump. It might do 1.2
Yeah Spidey I think might actually mess up my Top 5 box office films of the year list. But hey, history has told me to never bet against Pokemon.
Yeah I feel like plenty of people will go just to get a minor update on this post snap world and maybe some words about certain heroes.
Thinking about it again, I think it will pass CM by a decent amount as well and be in IM3/BP territory world wide.
~$40m non-holiday Monday? Jesus Christ. That's TFA-like numbers which was during Christmas week. Even IW dropped down to 24m after having the previous biggest opener. This weekend will be something else.
I don't know if it will do Iron Man 3 numbers, but it will get a bump from Endgame just like IM3 got from Avengers.
