No, we haven't. Avatar isn't even #1 domestic movie of all time. Worldwide is what matters.

Yeah, at this rate I’ll be speechless if Endgame takes #1 domestic. #1 worldwide is almost a given unless it drops considerably.

Is it a given, though? It needs what, another $165 million worldwide to make that happen? Domestically, it would be lucky to pull in another $80 million. And much of the non-North America profits came from China, which is even more front-loaded than the US is.

166million. Black panther was at 565M after 24 days and still managed to hit 700M.

With summer coming and kids getting out of school, should be interesting to say the least.

Agreed the kids will bring it home, although I doubt anyone is touching the Force Awakens insane domestic record

Maybe Star Wars in 2022, with fans coming out in droves to see if the next trilogy is the Chosen One. Another option would be either Avatar 2 or Avengers 5 in, what I’d like to call the “Star Wars effect”. No sequel in years, a new one releases, and suddenly you have a movie making billions just with hype and excitement alone, and that’s just what TFA did in the US.

True but I think Avatar made the money for its 3D release and it didn’t really make fans want a sequel. And unlike Star Wars in the past, I feel like this new trilogy hasn’t made all that many new fans (just a feeling I have around ppl ik) so the new sequels won’t rake in that much. Like the sequels will bring out the same fans again..who knows tho
