Some say Corona has changed everything, but who knows really...

We have to be thankful that Covid-19 happened in the "off-year" 2020 instead of 2019 when AVENGERS - ENDGAME crushed all existing opening records...

So here's the basic question - how long will the opening record ($357m weekend / $474m week) last?

Avatar 2 or bust. If it doesn't do it, its over.

Until whenever PATTINSON BATMAN vs. PHOENIX JOKER movie comes out.

Sadly a better question is how long before any movie makes more total than Endgame made in one day?

Avatar 2 will definitely not break opening weekend records.

This is the right question. I think before Avatar 2 no movie will reach this mark theatrically.

It would have been hard in regular circumstances to break this record but now it would be even more difficult. I'll go with 15+ years.

Till when Avatar 1 has a re-release. Avatar 2 has little chance with ERs we have today.

Somehow I think ENDGAME's record will be broken in China first, before it is broken domestically...

Nothing will match it’s ticket sales but inflation will ensure it’s raw gross is matched.

If the next Avengers Battle Royale can bring in Hugh Jackman, Tony Stark, Deadpool, other X-men, and Spider-man, that could do it. Other than that, something always comes along every 5-10 years.

All good points above. China, inflation and something new could do it as well. Just imagine something like Demon Slayer in Japan will eventually come back for domestic market.

Endgame’s opening and Force Awakens total will never be beaten. Worldwide records are another story.

350 mil was years ahead of time. It would be like Revenge of the Sith opening was 200 million which would have taken a decade to beat. Add in streaming and it could be as solid 10 years at least before Endgame is caught by inflation.

Depends on if short theatrical windows-then-streaming are here to say.

The record is so monstrous that I seriously doubt it will be beaten. At least not without ridiculous inflation. Opening Weekends just wont be the same anymore.

I remember thinking TFA's record would hold forever lol

I think by the end of the year if the pandemic is kaput (god please) we'll have a better idea of how box office is.

TFA's increase was "usual" increase in comparison to previous record increasing about 18%. IW first broke that similar to JW in 2015 by less than 5% and then EG smashed it to pieces (increasing almost 40%).

The record for TFA in regular market was bound to be broken and surpassed but EG would have held the record for 10+ years even with inflation. Now in this market it might not happen during our lifetimes.

Though a lesson from Demon Slayer's run in Japan says that if people are hungry for theatrical experience and a movie comes along generating enough interest a humongous run is possible and due soon.

Agreed. We're in the middle of the pandemic still and our mindsets are shaped by it. It probably won't be until summer 2022 until we'll get a sense of the long term prospects for the theatrical boxoffice.

So after thinking about it, the one way I could see both records falling is if Marvel goes really nuts with the multiverse and we get Avengers v Star Wars. That would get the butts into the seats plague or no plague.

ENDGAME shattered the record so spectacularly, and now with this shift in the market due to COVID...

I think it's genuinely possible that it's never beaten.

Excel! I've missed your optimism.

It ends with a freeze frame on a knife!
