I still cant wrap my head around why they did this but didn't do an extended cut. Such a weird half-assed attempt of a re-release.
I'll do you one better
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.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.
I honestly hope that Endgame does edge past it ever so slightly just so I can see people reach for adjusted for inflation figures if it's ever that close.
My Two Towers trailer analogy still holds.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.
The technicality argument has been used against Avatar for a while now. Now that card can be removed from play.
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 exclusiveThere is still plenty of time to add meat to the grinder, folks.
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.Do you except people joining your side?

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.
The adjusted for inflation chart is a neat curiosity, but is completely useless.
We shouldn't use it in situations like this.
How else would you group together people rooting for Avatar to win?
"Marvel haters"? "James Cameron fanboys"?
I don't think "Just movie fans of all types who just happen to watch box office andhopes(believes) that Endgame won't win" has the same ring to it.
The New England Patriots of moviesWell 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
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.Are people really rooting for AVATAR or are people being logical about the numbers?
endgame will pass it by $15 and that will be zatt's ticketLogical. 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.
Winning is winning.
lmao I mean, what are we talking about here?Are people really rooting for AVATAR or are people being logical about the numbers?
Disney will probably re-release Avatar next year so it can take back #1 WW for marketingI'm surprised Disney cares this much. I feel like letting Avatar stay #1 would be good for marketing Ava2ar. The sequel to the biggest movie of all time.
A teaser for the Avatar vs. Avengers crossover movie. $3 billion is the floor, baby!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?!
That's what I'm saying but being logical is now being twisted to rooting for AVATAR apparently.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.
My prediction is the extra footage amounts to: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.
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.
I've never even seen Avatar and I think at this point Endgame's chances are extremely low.lmao I mean, what are we talking about here?

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 still have my plastic Avengers cups from 2012. Still use them. And my Hunger Games ones. Free cups baby!My prediction is the extra footage amounts to:

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.Are people really rooting for AVATAR or are people being logical about the numbers?
Logic, data, and trends have no place here, Scotty.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 our 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.
Remember just a couple pages ago how people were saying the SDCC ads/banners were for the Blu-ray release? lol
The banners are already in downtown San Diego right now.
It is hitting disc on August 13th or 20th based on reports from reputable sites.
I don't see any dates for the home release on the banners or any mention that it's releasing on home video soon.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 said reputable, like The Digital Bits, Who has had home video connections for decades. Not Comicbook.com.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.
Less than $50m. In the $40m range. Not sure off top of my head.PhoncipleBone
what's endgame need to beat Avatar? >100 mil right?
I believe its in the low-mid $44m now.Less than $50m. In the $40m range. Not sure off top of my head.
Fine fine. I'm in. Put me on the list.
I will blame you both equally if I lose.
You know what, fuck it. Add my name to the list PhoncipleBone
This is just too god damn entertaining to sit on the sidelines for.
Another mod enters the game too!Fine fine. I'm in. Put me on the list.
I will blame you both equally if I lose.
