It has a very good chance of sinking Titanic. It will likely make in excess of $2 Billion. Although, if any film is ever to make $3 Billion, it will be this. It will be interesting to see what kind of legs it has in its second week.
WORLDWIDE: $3 billion or more
WORLDWIDE: $2.50-$2.99 billion
WORLDWIDE: $2.0-$2.49 billion
DOMESTIC: $900 million to $1 billion+
DOMESTIC: $800 million to $899 million
DOMESTIC: $750 million to $799 million
DOMESTIC: $700 million to $749 million

I mean maybe for it's opening weekend, but all together? It's currently tracking towards a $345+ million opening weekend, think it's a safe bet it'll sprint past 400 million easily by next Friday, Infinity War made 678 million domestic, why would you think this movie would do substantially worse?

The latest estimate from Deadline is that Endgame will top $358 million this weekend.

This is having the predicted spillover effect for Captain Marvel as it is now predicted to drop only 9% from last weekend and take 2nd place at the box office this weekend bringing CM's domestic total to $413.8M.Originally Posted by Deadline.com
Right now the estimates are around 1.2 billion ww for the opening weekend, 358 million domestic as said

So in about 10 days or so, Endgame should hit the 2 billion mark.
Not actually liking Avatar or Titanic, I would be delighted if it beat them both. I have a feeling it will but it might be very close. My prediction is it won’t reach 3 Billion, but it is difficult to overestimate this movie. We have never seen a movie with this kind of pull before. The anticipation was through the roof for a whole year. I have never seen a movie sell out my local cinemas in quite this way before, with multiple screens having no spare seats and those that have mostly scattered around in singles, despite a huge number of screenings. I have never experienced the positivity this move got in the screenings I watched it in. Not even Star Wars. The word of mouth is going to be very positive, the reviews have been very positive, the response amongst my non-comic book reading friends has been very positive. I can’t quite imagine a better set of signs that a movie will perform well.
One thing to consider for next weekend was the sheer number of sellouts this weekend. If you didn't buy ahead getting to see it was a real pain, there could be a significant number of people (especially with the good word of mouth) that will try to see it once they believe the insane crowds die off some.
Current Pull: Amazing Spider-Man and Domino
Bunn for Deadpool's Main Book!
I'm glad that Stan Lee got to film a cameo in this movie. It's fitting that his final cameo should be in the final chapter of the first storyline of the MCU.
However, it's kind of sad that he didn't get to see this massive opening for the film.
Of course, it's even sadder that Jack Kirby died in 1994, so he never got to see any of this.
At least Joe Simon lived long enough to see Captain America make it successfully to the screen after the lackluster serial, the TV movies, and the direct-to-video 1990 film.
It would have been great for Kirby to see his co-creations become billion dollar successes.
Box Office Mojo has ENDGAME at $1,209,000,000 worldwide--but how much of that is counted for the weekend, since it opened early?
So captain marvel is back in 2nd place with only a 10% drop making both first and second place a marvel movie on the same week! Is this the first time this has happened?
Probably, the only other one I could think of was Black Panther/Infinity War. But Black Panther 'only' finished in the top 5 that weekend.
