It's only been like a fucking month.

Are they already taking Endgame out of theaters? WTH Black Panther was in theaters for like 3 or 4 months.

nah, it'll likely be in theatres for at least another month or two, but most people who wanted to see it have done so already, and that's likely why there are those that believe it won't "beat" Avatar

Isn't summer blockbuster season too? That could be a factor too.

If Disney/Marvel hadn't released Endgame and Captain Marvel in such close proximity to one another, they probably would've taken that top spot.

Undoubtedly, a good portion of the film's success comes from people who saw it multiple times. They probably would've had a larger amount of repeat viewers had those same people not recently purchased tickets for Captain Marvel as well.

Or maybe it would've still fallen shy. Looking at that number again, there's a larger gap that I gave it credit for the first time. Either way, Disney would probably rather have that Captain Marvel money than the accolade of having bested Avatar.

Look at Star Wars. Solo would've done better had it not come off the heels of Rogue One.

It's not blaming her so much as it is blaming the studio from releasing two linked films so close together.

Captain Marvel boosted Endgame sales and vice versa, and the same will be true of Far From Home.

Eh there was almost a two month gap between Captain Marvel and Endgame. I don't really see it.

Disney ultimately don't care about the record considering they now own both of them. If anything they'd probably be happy if Avatar keeps it for Avatar 2 marketing purposes.

This. Solo came after TLJ, but only like 5 months after, and nobody is that interested in that many star wars movies it seems.

Marvel has been doing that for years though, so I don't know if its fair to blame Captain Marvel for this though, because the two movies aren't incredibly related - you can not watch Captain Marvel and not really miss anything in Avengers aside from who that blonde girl is, and you could learn that pretty easily since she's the only new character in the movie.

Solo bombed because it was a movie no one wanted.

I don't think Star Wars is really comparable here.

Solo isn't some giant resolution to anything. It was a spin-off prequel that nobody really asked for that recast the main character.

Could it have done better if it wasn't so soon after The Last Jedi? Sure. But Endgame has made over two billion dollars while Solo flopped hard. Endgame is going to likely be the peak of any Marvel movie. Solo was never going to be bigger than a mainline Star Wars movie.

Surely that boycott will carry over to Rise of Skywalker in that case.

Nah, everyone's gonna watch it, and then spend the next 2 years complaining online about how it ruins everything. That's really how Star Wars works
