Poll Avengers: Endgame vs Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker global box office
- Thread starter ITDUDE
- Start date
Oh it’s good to be owning Disney stock that’s for sure. Though I think it was mentioned that Endgame budget is about $600mil just by itself. Have no idea ST IX budget.Even using your numbers, that's 4.9 Billion in BoxOffice on a $600 million total investment...
License to print money, me thinks.....
End Game was rumored to be in the $275 range with an additional $100 + for marketing. IX was rumored to be $225 to $250 ball park. I don't remember reading anything that stated either production budget crossing the $300 mill mark.
I read somewhere combined allocated budget for Infinity War and Endgame was $1billion and Infinity War only using a third of it. Will google it when I get home.
I think it'll be Endgame because it's a coalescence of 21 films featuring dozens of beloved characters that's been building up for the last 11 years.
Yeah, The Rise of Skywalker is the end of an era and 40 years of build up, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe is far more condensed than the Skywalker saga.

Star Wars will never match Endgame's China take.bStar Wars never does well there.

Feel free. Anyone who predicts anything will be wrong often enough that embarrassment about the fact is stupid.
That said, you might want to look at what the past numbers for all these things are before you settle into preemptive smuggery - Endgame would have to leap so substantially above any previous Marvel movie in order to pass the worldwide numbers for Avatar that any smart bookie would post long odds against it. Hell, the second most successful film in history is neither SW nor Marvel, but a 20 year-old movie also directed by Cameron.
Avengers easily. Infinity war was a great movie enjoyed my most everyone and it was a cliffhanger. Who will come back? Who will stay dead? Everyone I know can't wait for Endgame. It's the culmination of 10 plus years of storytelling.
OTOH TLJ turned off a lot of people to Star Wars. We saw that with the disappointing returns for Solo(which wasn't a bad movie). That's going to have a negative effect on opening weekend . They're billing it as the end of the saga but frankly ROTJ already did that. All they're doing at this point is milking the cash cow and it shows. I know it's only anecdotal, but those same people I know who cant wait for Endgame had a very "meh" attitude to the new Star Wars trailer. I hope J.J can steer it back on course.
I doubt it will happen, but I hope Endgame surpasses the box office of Avatar because IMO that was pure shit.
PS: Adjusted for inflation, Gone With The Wind is still number one

On this ... I watched Avatar and I'm like a kid following the Pied Piper who doesn't make it into the cave. It's like everyone around me loved it. Even Stuart my Mother-in-law's friend in his late seventies was practically glowing! I thought it was visually pretty but the story was so obvious and a little grating. (Evil, plundering, 'militarised' humans exploit innocents and their planet's resources etc. etc.) Saw it and mostly forgot it. Like it had no sense of investment or resonance. With The Avengers/Marvel heroes and definitely the original Star Wars heroes (and many here would add the new additions) you have a history with the characters. It makes a difference.
