Will AVENGERS: ENDGAME make $3 BILLION at the Worldwide box office?

Someone on another board suggested that this may be a way for the mouse to prod Cameron into finally making another movie instead of talking about it.

They're making an Avatar movie every other year opposite Star Wars starting in 2021. So he'll be making 4 movies ...

Disney announces dates for three new 'Star Wars' films and four 'Avatar' sequels.

Yes, I know what he says he will do. Until he actually does it I remain highly skeptical.

Good.

This is fair because Avatar and Titanic reached their current levels due to re-releases.

Avatar made a grand total of 34 million in its release.

Titanic made 58.5 million it its two rereleases.

Neither needed them for their massive totals.

Titanic is especially impressive as it made its money during a time when tickets were only $5. Adjusted for inflation Titanic made 1.22 billion domestically. Avatar by the way made 877 million domestically after adjustment, a number that Endgame won't likely hit even with the rerelease.

But whatever it takes for you to not acknowledge that Avatar and Titanic sold MORE tickets than Endgame.

And Gone with the Wind blows them all away it's why the adjustment argument means nothing.

Just seen they’re re-releasing with new content. They’re making the push and they’re going to get it.

Can't wait to see it again.

Actually I think that's why it means everything.

What is more significant in Gone With The Wind case is that there were only a handful of movies released all year.

Did Avatar? The economy was terrible when it came out the overseas money was worth more US dollars do to exchange rates. For years since we have had articles about movies selling more tickets overseas but getting less dollars because of that. Two examples I remember are Civil War vs IM 3 and AoU vs Avengers. So I am highly skeptical of that claim without rock solid proof.

Also no TV or Internet every time period has benefits and determinants so unless someone wants to go down the rabbit hole and analyze all factors box office adjustment alone is pretty meaningless.

There were 395 movies released in 1939 with Gone With the Wind in a time when there was only a fraction of the movie screens of today. As such Gone With the Wind's achievement is even more impressive.

It gives you an idea of how many tickets were sold.

For all their success Endgame and Avatar can't even compare to Gone With the Wind and the first Star Wars in getting people into the theater.

Back then you didn't have everyone with a television set and home video became highly accessible decades later. For many years you had to keep going to the theater if you wanted to see Gone With the Wind

True, but now Marvel fans can never cry about it because they pulled the same stupid stunt

Don’t forget Cameron whining about WW not being as good as Sarah Conner for reasons that made no sense. DC fans have no reason to defend him.

Especially in this day in age where the majority of people have ADD and so many choices of entertainment vs back in the old days where a popular topic gets talked about for months. Hard to stay relevant for a long period in the social media age.
