[Very] Early Estimates Say Avengers: Endgame Could Make $2B at the Worldwide Box Office
It's not even 2019 yet, the movie is still months away, we just got a title and trailer reveal and people are already estimating what kind of box office Avengers: Endgame is going to be. It should be noted that these are very early predictions, obviously, but the data is a good chance that this is correct. CNBC spoke to a few box office analysts to get their point of view and needless to say it's looking pretty good for the fourth Avengers movie.
"There are always caveats to forecasts this far out from release, but we think it's another strong candidate for $600 million or more domestically, and possibly $2 billion worldwide," said Shawn Robbins, chief analyst for Box Office.com. "The stakes have been raised organically, and the slow reveal surrounding Endgame only intensifies curiosity. We're talking about the safest box office bet since 'Avengers: Infinity War' itself and the recent episodic 'Star Wars' films."
One of the main reasons Avengers: Endgame could clean up so much at the box office is that no one, rightfully, wants to compete with the Marvel movie. So nothing big is coming out for nearly four weeks.
"There really isn't much to compete with it until later in May," said Doug Stone, president of Box Office Analyst. "That gives Avengers four weeks to amass a huge box office," Stone said.
The next big movie that could compete with Avengers: Endgame would be Godzilla: King of the Monsters May 31st or possibly the new superhero horror movie Brightburn from
James Gunn on May 24th.
Summary: A culmination of 22 interconnected films, the fourth installment of the Avengers saga will draw audiences to witness the turning point of this epic journey. Our beloved heroes will truly understand how fragile this reality is and the sacrifices that must be made to uphold it.
