YES! It'll absolutely be the highest grossing Superhero movie/Highest Grossing movie of all time. It would take a really exceptionally well written movie to come remotely close to matching & exceeding it at the box office.
Fandom Entertainment Yes, but, like how ssllloooowwww it took for Captain Marvel to hit a billion worldwide, it’ll be a ssssllllooooowww burn for Avengers: Endgame to top Avatar. I’m gonna say Endgame will top Avatar by end of May or early-to-mid June.
Yes. It should pass Avatar by Aladdin weekend.
siamesebb Too early. I say 1-2 weeks after Aladdin opens.
Yes but it'll be a bit slow going from now on with China pretty much done with its run.
It wasn't the iceberg that sank the titanic it was the Avengers.
Nope. It hasn't beat Titanic. There is something called inflation.
Purefoldnz so Titanic hasn’t beaten Gone with the Wind ?
word. they have time left to remove that avatar movie from the top.
@@purefoldnz3070 inflation may be the biggest factor,but home media wasn't the Juggernaut it is today 20 years ago and piracy.
Actually avatar sunk the titanic first lol
James Cameron: "Don't you say it"😤
Russo Bros: *On your Left* 😁
James cameron: *COMMON* 😡

@XD张景荣 John Wick lmao
@XD张景荣 those movies aren't near Avatar and Endgame
I am planning on seeing Endgame two more times myself, so looking forward to seeing where it ends up.
I still haven't see it but I'm gonna watch it tomorrow because my friends invited me. We're to busy for work, but the same time we're also a fan
I know several people that haven't seen it yet that I know still want to go. I think now we're moving into the time when a lot of casual viewers will be going to see it, and a lot of of "I guess if that's so successful I'll go and see what all the buzz is about" business.
Just booked to see it the second time at an IMAX theatre.
Some people watch ESPN panels, I watch Charting with Dan. I feel like the nerdy version of my dad and I ain't mad about it.
Victoria T Same, that also applies with movie fights for me
I've literally been sending my friends daily updates of Endgame's box office. I told them "this is my superbowl."
To be fair, charting with Dan is 100% than the ESPN panel both English and Spanish. I know, I stopped watching ESPN cause everyone there just lame.
Week 4 of requesting the "Charting" graphic being corrected to "Charting With Dan"
I'm totally with you
Hear Hear
Maybe they should put it in an explosion shaped bubble at the right corner that "With 50% Dan" as they do with orange juices and such.. I mean not like they have Dan in orange juices.. you get the idea.
A theory of mine is someone is planning to take over Charting... I suspect Joe, he is the kind of guy.. he is like the Loki of SJU.
“We’re never gonna beat Titanic, nobody can.” -George Lucas
Captain America: Here, hold my Mjölnir.
Don't compare 1998 to 2019. Box Office has change a lot.
It hasn't beat Titanic. There is something called inflation and 1997 was a long time ago.
Purefoldnz there are way too many factors at play to just inflate Titanic’s WW gross and call it a day
@@andersjakobsen2986 Not really just inflation. You can't compare apples with oranges. Ticket prices have changed since 97 and a billion dollars isn't what it once was. Weird to say but true.
Avatar, we’ve come to bargain.
MysteryMii best quote ever
"We're going for the head"
MysteryMii ........😁👍🏼
Avatar: Set me free
MCU: No ive come to bargain, i will take Titanic and we'll settle for 2nd place.
@@joksizantos7520 and you're next
I think it will beat Avatar only because Endgame gave Captain Marvel a good bump almost 2 months later. Spider-Man Far From Home should give Endgame a bump come July if it needs it
I think. This is what's gonna happen
ok but that bump would be maybe 20ish million, not rly that significant
Here’s a question-will Far From Home boost Endgame’s box office in two months? Will people want to see it again pre the final phase three installment?
Spider-Man Far from home is phase 4 or whatever they call the post phase 3 MCU. Sony just refused to wait another year
The ad I saw (that was SO GOOD!) for Far From Home actually had a bumper at the start with Tom Holland saying 'if you haven't seen Endgame then stop watching because there are huge spoilers'.
I mean, he wasn't saying that you **have** to have watched Endgame before Far From Home but, still....
Nah they specifically said it was the last movie of phase 3. But I think there will be an effect because the same thing happened with Captain Marvel. That's still in the top5 because of Endgame imho
@@Phelie315 The same thing happened with Black Panther and Infinity War. Black Panther got a boost when Infinity War came around. But let's not forget that it didn't do any good for Ant-Man and the Wasp, which underperformed despite Infinity War having come out.
Eric Tortora Pato I think Far From Home will make a billion and get that Iron Man 3 bump
I think the story that is being left behind is what Endgame did during the week... almost 100 million in weekday box office is unheard of.
I was so interested in how Endgame was doing I would occasionally look online during the week and saw that in the middle of the week it made like 400 million. Which is insane. It earned another billion in a week. Yeah the opening was insane, but damn this is so insane. (I feel like we need a stronger word than insane but I can't think of one.)
That might have some influence on why it dropped so much over the weekend. There was an urgency not to get spoiled so if the first showing people could get tickets to was on Wednesday afternoon, they were going for it.
@@AnimalLover101195 It is unfathomable? Unequivocal? Exponentially exceptional?
Domestically, I think it’s a huge case for “don’t get spoiled” as well as repeat viewings. I’ve only seen it once, but have multiple viewings scheduled and have seen anecdotal evidence that a lot of people want to do repeat viewings.
Internationally, it should be noted that Monday saw its last release in Russia, and that it might be the only wide release time travel movie in China due to their censorship laws
@@Rk91M I can't wait to see how it does this weekend. See if it was frontloaded in the first two weeks. That's what I've been thinking it could be, but I don't know.
I was trying really hard to not see box office spoilers cause I wanted to watch this with fresh eyes haha
I'd just add that by having a subscription, you're more likely to visit THAT chain, even if another chain's theater has a more convenient showtime. You're also more likely to push that chain's theaters when figuring out with friends where to see it.
"As a journalist, which I am not."
I think Dan, with all these well researched video you've done analyzing numbers and debunking myths you've done plenty of journalism.
*Titanic:* I don't feel so good, Mr. Cameron.
Disney: I feel so good Mr. Box Office.
👏👏👏😂😂😂
mua ha ha.
It's okay, Dan. Everyone forgets Canada. We're used to it.
@Marcus Middleton That is a better question.
It's not even a real country anyway
Mexico is in the middle east you dumbass.
@Marcus Middleton Mexico has its own box office. It's not Domestic.
Sorry about that, eh.
Let’s get endgame to avatar let’s do it guys!!
Whatever it takes 😔
*Jaksfilms entered the chat*
Andjelka yes I’m secretly him lol jk
Liked that video tho
Been waiting to see how Endgame did since last week!
I hope Endgame beats Avatar and crosses the 3.2 billion dollar mark. Cameron making those bad remarks was just BS.
I believe that it will cross Avatar however its clearly impossible that the movie will cross the 3.2 billion dollar mark because of the Detective Pikachu movie releasing this weekend that could potentially slow down the Avengers box office.
@@urmommma4942 Detective Pikachu only opened at #3 in Japan.
Agreed! Cameron thinks his films are that good, but Alita Battle Angel & the Terminator reboots weren't well received, and Alita was thought to be able to beat Capt. Marvel, which has made $1.120 Billion to date.
@@dinomonzon8853 thanks for the reply
@@dinomonzon8853 He wasn't associated in any way with terminator reboots.
Endgame made $1.2B in days 1-5 and it made another ~$1B between days 6-12. I don't see how it doesn't make the $600 million required to match Avatar for the rest of its run. I think that by the end of next weekend it'll be at $2.5B, maybe even $2.6B.
Charting with Dan is becoming my favorite thing to watch on CZcams!
Becoming?! 😁
I'm still annoyed from hearing those avatar fanboys in 2009 talking about it like it's the best thing since sliced bread and not fern gully with cutting edge technology. Yeah, still bitter.
Can't say I'd be mad if Endgame passes it, even if Avatar is practically forgotten now.
yeah I don't get that... the movie wasn't that memorable at all. The hook was the 3d experience and the cgi. But that's it. Like no one really talks about the movie afterwards.. with endgame you get a lot of people talking about what happened in the movie and engaging in conversations about characters, theories, etc. And repeat viewings are actually fun because of some of the epic scenes.
Avatar most definitely won’t be forgotten at least until the next movie will come out.
The visual effects and the 3D experience were what drove that movie's business. The plot and characters were just passable enough to not ruin the movie. And to be fair, I don't think that a visual spectacle as incredible as Avatar doesn't deserve its place.
I honestly don't remember single characters name from Avatar. I watched it 3 times. I remember the plot, the actors how it looked but never could remember the name. Jaksfilms made video about it literally 1 person new only because the name of main dude was ether same as his or someone close to him
@@Andjelka99 Jek Sooli and Neytiri. The first I remember because of the mispronunciation of Jake Sully by the Na'vi and the second because Zoe Saldana was referred to as 'green Neytiri' when Guardians of the Galaxy came out. Of the rest, there's Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez As The Tough Chick That Dies, Military Scarface and Corporate Weasel. I think those were their character names, right?
Some people say its unprofessional to get up and walk out of a meeting when you get a "Charting with Dan" notification. To those people, I say: nothing, they are dead to me.
I REALLY want Endgame to beat Avatar. Because personally I don't like James Cameron and I didn't think Avatar was a good movie. It just had some great new tech that you had to see in theatres or else it was lost on you.
I have my issues with Endgame but overall I think it's a better movie than Avatar.
I agree. Avatar ripped off the plot of Dances with wolves and put a 3d gimmick on it and put it in space. I do not understand why that movie is so popular at all.
@@pauleckert4321 cuz your brain is to small to understand that.
@@gurp1997 lol, if his is small then yours must be imaginary
Everyone reading this, try to remember one single characters name without looking it up. I saw it 3 times and still can't remember 🤷♀️ (Ps oc love profile pic hehe)
Same! Same! Same! Same! Same! "Endgame" at least deserves it, culturally.
Never a more exciting time for some charts!
Hey! Greetings your majesty
Also, Endgame made $560 million plus worldwide from Monday-Thursday, so that ‘s the reason why the worldwide total is almost $1 billion more after this weekend, compared to last weekend’s total
It's been a rough day. Been looking forward to this. Thank you
Thank YOU for watching and hope you have a great rest of your week!
Thanks. You all too!
Gone with the Wind was pre TV. there wasnt much else to do but sit on the porch and jaw. I bet people went to see it a dozen times
Being a great film might of helped to
If Endgame doesn’t beat Avatar I’d be shocked
J. Will avatar wasnt even that good story wise.
I'll be shocked if avengers endgame doesn't cross 3billion.
I shall sacrifice a Navi to the Cinema Gods for their aid in Endgame's dominance.

Hey Avatar! ON YOUR LEFT!!!
Box office records: Exist

His whole career? The Man is a legend who has 2 of the top 3 highest grossing movies of all time...His mark has already been made whether you like him or not
@@jesseswarbrick7895 I was refering to box office records that Endgame demolish
Haters will find any way to count "Endgame" out.
$600M to beat Avatar. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Lets all make a pact to see "Endgame" again this weekend.
This time next week "Endgame" should have beaten "Avatar."
Been waiting for this!!! Always looking forward to Charting :)
We all know Endgame will never beat Gotti, so what's the point?
Call back
A good film knows no race or region, because of the UNIVERSAL TRUTH it speaks.
Some people will stop rewatching Endgame and go see Detective Pikachu, but not us. Not us.
#WhateverItTakes
Last time I got excited about a movie beating Avatar was Force Awakens. I begged people on every SNS to go see it because it’s just not worthy of that slot. I saw it 4 times imax 3D for 2 of them but I was let down. I’ve seen Endgame 4 times and going for a 5th and God I hope it does it.
Endgame made 2.1 Billion Dollars in 12 days.
Disney owns 4.5 of the top 5 grossing movies of all time (Paramount and Fox co-produced Titanic, but I mean, Disney could just pay them off 😂)
Well they own 16 of the 20 highest grossing movies of all time. 8 of the 10 highest and the top 5. Disney is the King of the World Cinematic Universe.
I don't know how many people remember but all that money Avatar made wasn't just for one release. I remember it being re-released in August 2010 with like 8 minutes of additional footage-I think it was the DVD cut. But it was only released to IMAX and 3D theatres. I wonder how Endgame would do if they re-released it in Fall..or even re-release Infinity War with extra footage and Endgame with additional footage like in September or October.
I just want to say that I. LOVE. THIS. SHOW.
I've been looking forward to this charting since last weeks charting! 😊
I hope it beats Avatar. I secretly hate that movie
Tomakze i don’t hate it it’s just that it’s so bland aside from the 3D novelty of it that it just doesn’t seem to deserve the title of highest grossing movie of all time. I’ve still yet to meet anyone who’s watched the movie later than a month after the DVD came out.
Yeah I don't know what is the hype for Avatar besides 3D experience, it's so overrated, bland and boring.
Dana 56R One of my best friends said Avatar was the greatest movie he’s ever seen. And this was after we went and seen the dark knight the year before. So when I went into the theater I expected to be blown away. I was not. And I lost some respect for my friends opinions about films after that day LOl
@@deathbymazda lol exactly, It's so overhyped it's unbelievable that some people consider it the best movie experience of their lives. Like seriously! I played it for my fam on Bluray and they got bored half an hour into the movie LMAO
I secretly quite like it but I still want Endgame to beat it
People are mad at Endgame for beating Titanic, but let me ask you: If Thanos had snapped half the people off the boat, would they have all survived?
no
Probably not because there were barely enough lifeboats to carry half the people (I actually think it was less than that) and a lot of the lifeboats weren't even full when they left the ship.
Whose mad?
@@mcwyman7928 well there were, just didn't utilize all that space and half filled, if even, the boats
Hey Dan. I live in Kentucky and the Derby no doubt had an effect on the End Game box office as well. Not only is it huge for my state, tons of parties and get togethers, but it's a worldwide event as well.
If my calculations are right, then Endgame will make around $175 millions domestically from Monday to Sunday. And at least $350 millions internationally from the same period if not more. That adds up to around $2.725 BILLIONS. It’s just a matter of time to dethrone Avatar. And might cross the $3 Billion marl at the end of May.
Definitely Far from home will help in month
wish this was offered as a podcast. it would be perfect for my lunch-time walks around the campus of Notre Dame.
The only real competition Endgame has is Detective Pikachu so we’ll see how that goes.
It’ll be fine against John Wick since it’s adult counter programming.
Aladdin is an ultimate wild card for Disney since it is coming out on Disney’s cursed box office holiday wekeend, Memorial Day Weekend, as we saw with the flops of Solo, Prince of Persia, Alice Through The Looking Glass and Tomorrowland indicate, with Pirates of the Caribbean being the anomaly here.
And, Godzilla is at the end of the month so that shouldn’t be too much of a worry for Endgame
Ooo... I never realized what a losing streak Disney had with Memorial Day weekend. Granted, those are all bad movies.
Pikachu performed under expectations in Japan. I don't think that it will really endanger endgame.
Just 600 million more. We can do this.

@@ItsKimOlson fuuuuukkk you are absolutely right. And Endgame is coming to collect his soul
I mean to be fair...May isn't summer either.
?? Exactly? Summer starts in June idk who decided to include it
Thanks for the heads up on The Wandering Earth. It sounded intriguing when you first mentioned it, but I don't live near any theaters that would play it. Time to hit up my Netflix account.
+1
12:30 thank you Dan, sincerely. I’ve been so curious about this.
I feel like we never see Roth anymore, what's up with that? I like Lon, but I do miss Roth.
I'm still planning to see Endgame again next week with my brother. And one of my friends still hasn't seen it. No clue if that will be enough, but I feel like Endgame will still get decent Box Office numbers next week. I LOVE this Charting talk with Endgame. I'm such a numbers and statistics nerd and I really love listening to how different movies performed week to week and that's why I adore Charting with Dan so so much.
Talk to me after Avenger End Game has been out for 140+ days. Next weekend will say nothing about this movie’s ability to beat Avatar.
so everyone do your civic duty and see endgame again i am sick and tired of those blue people being number one
Whatever it takes Jaksfilms
I can’t wait to see the numbers for next weekend. Detective Pikachu could be big, and I’m so curious to see how everything ends up down when the dust settles.
I'll admit I am pretty excited to see if Avengers will beat Avatar. I remember tracking the first Avengers film in 2012 hoping that it would beat Avatar lol.
I love Lon's Fraggle/Casterly Rock shirt!
Anyone know where he got it???
Here’s where I see Endgame heading in the coming weeks:
This coming weekend: $2.5-$2.55B WW
Next weekend: $2.65-$2.7B WW
Memorial Day Wekeend: $2.75B WW
The first weekend of June: $2.775B WW
The second weekend of June: $2.8B WW
What was the big deal with Avatar? It was ok, but watching it I never would have guessed it was the highest grossing movie world wide.
It hit at the perfect time. It was one of the first movies to be shot for 3D. It was released at the heart of the 2008 Recession and its visuals provided escapism for many people. It didn't really have much competition and allowed it to run for forever in theatres. It was a rogue wave with many factors both within and outside the control of the movie contributing to its massive success. That's my take on it
Gone with the wind sold 200 million tickets in the US alone. That is crazy, a time when they didn't have multiplexes. Must have been in cinemas for years for sell so many.
For those complaining..."Real Summer" the season is from June 21 (solstice) to September 21 (equinox). "Movie Summer" is first weekend of May through Last weekend of August.
I'm already planning to take my mom to see Endgame for mother's day, so there's another $20 from me.
Have you taken your mom to all the other mcu movies? If not, you probably should take her to see long shot if you really want her to have a good time lol
Animan98 i did exactly the same thing 😁
ness selfish my mom’s not a hardcore fan but she’s seen most of the movies at least once, whereas this will be my 4th time watching Endgame.
Damn. Waiting for charting with Dan is truly a long wait
Inflation isnt always important when discussing a films financial sucess, however it needs to be included when a current film is being compared with and positioned as "defeating" a 22 year old movie.
sean galvin yeah with inflation titanic destroys endgame and it isn’t even close
Why talk about that 22-year-old movie when, with inflation, it did not beat GWTW? Then even Avatar isn't a record. So what are we even talking about here? Stop crying about inflation. Inflation doesn't care about you.
I just realized it's one year since watching charting. I discovered it after Infinity war. It's just amazing. Go on Dan!
Also a big thing to point out is as far as I understand, China wasn't such a big market 10 years ago. Yes it is cyclical but as I understand the Chinese market has grown exponentially over the past decade.
Lon, this is not 'Nam. This is weather. There are rules.
today has been so shitty but i got so happy after seeing charting uploaded
Everyone keeps comparing Endgame and Avatar, but Avatar stayed in theaters for a _very_ long time. Look at the domestic gross: Endgame did $620M in 10 days. In 10 days, Avatar had grossed 212M of the 750M it grossed domestically. And overseas, in those 10 days, Endgame did 1.5B, while Avatar did 410M. It took 8 (eight!) weeks for Avatar to reach 1.5B overseas, and the same time to reach 637M domestically. So yeah. Endgame crushed Avatar.
Endgame is going to wind up well ahead of Avatar. It won't even be that close.
It made $1.2 bn in its first "weekend" and by now, two weeks after its release, it's at $2.2 bn. Even assuming a 1-month lifetime, you're saying that it has a chance of making less than 27% ($600 mil./$2.2 bn) of its first 15-day gross in its second 15-day period? That's insanely front-loaded, even if other movies get released and interfere with it.
I'm sure it'll pass Avatar, and if it makes 37% of what its first 15-day gross (which still seems quite likely to me) it'll pass the $3 billion mark...
It's made more money on the front end than any other film ever released - I'm mainly just saying it will be interesting to see if its entire run is as proportionately high as its first two weekends have been or if it gets an insanely great start that is tempered by greater competition in the back stretch. - Dan
@@fandomentertainment Holy shit I wasn't expecting a response! Yeah it will be interesting, that's for sure.
Keep up the amazing work, everyone, I feel like it's universally loved, as it should be, because it gives us math/detail fanatics some invaluable help!
We love charts 3000
I like Lon, but I really miss Roth.
Anyone else think the question asked about movie subscription services impacting ticket sales was actually asking how it impacted the number of tickets sold, not how much money the studio gets per ticket?
Been waiting for this all week!
To clarify, "all week" since last Monday
Lol avatar 2 won't even make half as much as its predecessor. How many people remember that main characters' name? Very few I guarantee.
Blue people. Frank from Friends. Wheelchair. Acid.
I don't really get why so many people point so hard to inflation. Yes it's an interesting alternative to look at, but there are so many other factors in play than just the value of money + average price of tickets that makes it also extremely imperfect and arguably biased towards older movies.
Thank you Lon and Dan for the PSA about Wandering Earth. Didn't know it was on Netflix.
Been waiting ALL WEEKEND for this!!!
Since you had Infinity War last year, it’s unwise not to include End Game. How often do you have such large and compelling, record breaking movies in back to back years.
Its 2am in the UK and I AM HERE for this show!!!!
Is "We're in the Endgame Now" the new modern go to movie quote?
Long shot was so good. I'm shook. (Also shook it cost 40million what the heck)
Gotta say I was gonna wait till it was on netflix cause it looked like a stupid romcom with seth rogen but then saw your review and really wanted to try and boy was it good. Surprisingly
Filming on location bumped up the cost?
I would have watched a video of Dan and Lon arguing with weather. It’s a shame we won’t be getting to see that.
Thanks Dan for saying Canada is included in domestic gorsses I always thought it was just the US and Canada was international. I say endgame 3 times 🍻
I Saw Wondering earth, It was not subtitled. The version I saw was dubbed. If you liked Armageddon or Deep Impact, you will like this movie. - the premise is a combination of these 2 films. It's a slow start but the last hour will have you at the edge of your seat and the Visuals are amazing. There's a shot of Jupiter towards the end that left me in absolute awe.
also Dan you have made me a bigger nerd than i already was, i get so excited with the box office!
James Cameron cares about it A LOT.
Three things about Endgame vs. 1st 3 major May releases:
- In this weekend last year domestically Infinity War made $62 million (45% drop from the previous weekend's $114 million) against Deadpool 2's $125 million opening. While I feel like Pikachu is going to be popular domestically, it would have to be a massive success to open close to what Deadpool did. Note: it's hard to compare worldwide because this weekend last year was when Infinity War opened in China.
- John Wick has been gaining in popularity but the openings of the previous two are modest compared to most summer blockbusters and most of its popularity is domestic (it does ok worldwide)
- Infinity War definitely benefitted from Solo underperforming beginning Memorial Day weekend. Aladdin is there this year and there is definitely some trepidation about it, so that could underperform at least domestically, if not worldwide.
It's still debatable whether it can catch Avatar at this point but my point is, while the upcoming May releases will have some effect on Endgame going forward, it is not a guarantee it will be profound either.
#1 captain marvel. Thank you VERY MUCH.
"...second or third or fourth or fifth or eighth viewing." I was laughing at that. Who would go see the same movie eight times? Then it suddenly occurred to me that I've seen it four times and would like to see it again.
Also, "Avatar" wasn't even that good. It was just "Dances With Wolves" with blue aliens on dragons rather than Indians on horseback. It was the exact same story! You could add "Pocahontas" to that same story list too if you want.
I'm so happy for Endgame. I covered this as well on my channel with a different perspective! Great job Dan!
God I hope it beats it. I'm sry but looking back at Avatar it's not very good now a days
People were fascinated because it was a technological breakthrough and everyone wanted to experience it first hand. There was also a lot of buzz about how it was, at the time, the most expensive movie ever made. Even back then, very few people considered it a great movie.
I really appreciate the hard work, guys. I love watching Charting with Dan.
Well lon became my favourite charting partner over the last few weeks
