"Endgame" has broken all records, including the most important national and international opening weekends in its history, but it is likely to end its theatrical film of the second-largest film of all time, both at the national level than at the global level. He has won $ 825 million in the United States, but is expected to earn more than $ 936 million to defeat "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". And that accounts for $ 2.73 billion worldwide, still more than 50 million of the $ 2.79 billion generated by "Avatar" in 2009.
This summer did not help the box office.
Until now, three summer suites – "Godzilla: The King of Monsters", "The Secret Life of Pets 2" and "Dark Phoenix" – have opened with 50% less at the domestic box office than their predecessors, and the weekend "Men in Black: International" is heading for another disappointing start. Boxoffice.com plans to generate $ 28 million, well below the $ 54 million generated by "Men in Black 3" during its 2012 opening weekend.
All these films have also been torn apart by critics. "Men in Black: International" has a 29% rating on rotten tomatoes. "Dark Phoenix" is the most criticized movie of the franchise "X-Men" at 23%.
There is hope, however, and it is mainly Disney. Not only does he publish the aforementioned movie "The Rise of Skywalker" later this year, but he also has potential blockbusters like "The Lion King", "Spider-Man: Away From Home" and "Toy Story 4" "Always on the road summer. All of these films could bring in over a billion dollars worldwide.
