Looks like Endgame will win the weekend with $62 million with Pikachu missing most projections earning $55 million.

Still inching its way towards Avatar, but has fallen behind Force Awakens’ domestic earning rate. So that record looks like it may hold. I think once the international numbers are released for the weekend, we’ll know if Avatar will fall.

Force Awakens has been safe for a while, and Avatar seemed to be a given but it will probably be a little closer than previously thought. It should still clear it though. The real question is if it will catch Avatar to become #1 world wide. It should be close. But even if it passes, Avatar could do a 10 year anniversary re-release ahead of the new movies and take it right back.

I follow a box office group on reddit and they are able to make projections based on a movies legs with incredible accuracy. 850 million looks like the domestic with the WW coming extremely close.

Ya Domestic was an uphill battle after the high drop but this weekend basically seals it.
Worldwide is looking like it’ll possibly be within $20-30 million.

Really I’d expect Disney to rerelease Endgame if it falls short. Then rerelease Avatar to retake the record as a means to promote the Avatar sequels.

Wonder where George Lucas was??

I would be surprised if he is not there for the opening.

Spielberg? I wonder what Universal thinks of this? Doesn't he still have a big-time contract with Universal?

I'm really far removed from all the Star Wars news, anyone know what they are holding in the second pic? Menu or something?

It's the info ticket you get when they assign your position in the cockpit for the ride. Probably has warnings on it as well similar to Flight of Passage and Mission Space telling those with certain afflictions that they shouldn't ride.

Odd timing, but the shops at DHS seem to need some help .. hard to move around in those and just not as good as the Emporium at MK. Not that refurb can make the stores WIDER, but who knows.
