This is absolutely insane. There hasn't been a (non-sports) globally monocultural event like this... Ever. ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Presales Estimated At $120-140M+; $300M Domestic Opening In Play China is even hotter on a relative basis.https://deadline.com/2019/04/avengers-endgame-box-office-advance-ticket-sales-opening-weekend-records-1202599744/ …
I'm still doubtful it will break Avatar's record (and certainly won't when inflation adjusted, to say nothing to massive growth of Chinese box office since 2009). But this is leagues higher than anything else in history when it comes to actual launch demand, concurrent views
There may be $140M in *pre-sales*?!? This may be bigger than I thought and I had it $20M clear of the OW record. Unbelievable.
In the first 24 hours, China will do 220 THOUSAND screenings of #AvengersEndgame, equivalent to every single screen in the country running it four times
The most recent blockbuster maxed at less than one quarter of this
Per Variety, Endgame's only US box office constraint is actually supply of seats and screens, as well as peak moviegoing: "the most entire domestic box office has grossed in one weekend is $314MM when Infinity War pulled $258MM. #2 was $313MM with Force Awakens netting $247MM"
The release of the final Harry Potter book still eclipses any of this, I think - even more of an outlier than ENDGAME is compared to its competitors.
