Avengers: Endgame now stands at 2.3 billion worldwide with domestic counted until Tuesday.
So, it should make another $20 million approximately before the weekend giving it a domestic of around $665 million. This means Endgame should surpass Infinity War's total 140-day domestic take of $679 million on Friday, Endgame's 15th day.
Endgame's 2nd week drop was a bit steeper than Infinity War's (59% vs. 56%). IW's 3rd weekend drop was 46%. Assuming Endgame has a 50% drop, its 3rd weekend domestic should still be about $75 million, which would put its domestic at $740 million by end-Sunday (day 17).
It would still need about $200 million to beat out Force Awakens, and if Endgame stays in theaters for at least 140 days, it would have 123 days (more than 17 weeks) in which to do it.
That doesn't seem so crazy and insurmountable to me. It might not happen, but I don't think anyone can know for certain at this point that it WON'T happen.
On the worldwide front, Endgame will probably be at $2.5 billion by end-Sunday (domestic + intl). From there, it only needs about $300 million worldwide to beat Avatar.
Again, if $200 million of that can come from domestic, foreign will be at least another $100 million.
I think the Avatar record is more easily achieved because Endgame is playing much better overseas than Force Awakens.
Oh, and here's what the tracking is for Detective Pikachu and Endgame is this weekend per deadline.com

So, Pikachu really won't hurt Endgame at all, it seems. If Endgame gets in the $75 million range this weekend, that would just be a standard drop for this type of film no matter what competition it did or did not have.Originally Posted by Deadline.com
