The thing is, GwtW was shown at a time when movies cost a quarter and there was fuckall else to do.

It was an amazing film for its time. I am still torn whether I’ll show it to my kids. It hasn’t aged well in this s PC world (not anything against being pc btw).

it was also shown at a time where you either saw it in the theater, or you didn’t see it at all. it wasn’t going to be on vhs in a couple months or on tv in a year

Very true.

I saw the film last night, and my husband went to a 6am show (he's still there atm). Sucks we couldn't go together, but we didn't have anyone to watch the kids. I'm glad I did, though, as just looking at comments from a rando picture on the internet stuff would have been "spoiled" for me this morning.

Stay safe out there BGers, and cut the internet until you see the film.

It also ran in theaters for like 7 years and had crazy low competition

I mean, was there any other way to see it? But that's a crazy ass run lol.

that does explain why so many movies from that time period dominate that list

I'm glad I didn't spoil myself on this movie.

Still counting things down til Tuesday. So far, so good.

This might be spoiler-ish, but are there any specific older MCU movies I should watch to freshen up, beyond Infinity War? Not looking for specific plot threads or reasons to watch them, but if there's one or two that stick out as being worth watching again prior to seeing Endgame so connections make sense, I'd like to know. I'll have time tomorrow to watch a couple. PM is fine to keep the thread clear.

I'd say the captain America movies, civil war, ant man and the wasp would be the big ones. Maybe black panther as well

I'd watch GotG 1 and 2 too since they're really fun and do include some important characters

[kuronosan]

Doctor Strange.

[octopus]

Thor Ragnarok!

[Salodin]

You def need to see antman and the wasp at the very least. Everything else just adds to catching you up.

'Avengers: Endgame' obliterates records with $1.2B opening

The universe belongs to Marvel. "Avengers: Endgame" shattered the record for biggest opening weekend with an estimated $350 million in ticket sales domestically and $1.2 billion globally, reaching a new pinnacle in the blockbuster era that the comic-book studio has come to dominate.

The "Avengers" finale far exceeded even its own gargantuan expectations, according to studio estimates Sunday. The movie had been forecast to open between $260 million and $300 million in U.S. and Canadian theaters, but moviegoers turned out in such droves that "Endgame" blew past the previous record of $257.7 million, set last year by "Avengers: Infinity War" when it narrowly surpassed "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($248 million or about $266 million in inflation adjusted dollars.)

"Endgame" was just as enormous overseas. Worldwide, it obliterated the previous record of $640.5 million, also set by "Infinity War." ("Infinity War" didn't open in China, the world's second largest movie market, until two weeks after its debut.) "Endgame" set a new weekend record in China, too, where it made $330.5 million.

In one fell swoop, "Endgame" has already made more than movies like "Skyfall," ''Aquaman" and "The Dark Knight Rises" grossed in their entire runs, not accounting for inflation.

Disney now holds all but one of the top 12 box-office openings of all time. (Universal's "Jurassic World" is the lone exception.) The studio is poised for a record-breaking year, with releases including "Aladdin," ''Toy Story 2," ''The Lion King," ''Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" and "Frozen 2" on the horizon.

Following its acquisition of 20th Century Fox, Disney is expected to account for at least 40% of domestic box-office revenue in 2019, a new record of market share. The company's "Captain Marvel" — positioned as a kind of Marvel lead-in to "Endgame" — also rose to No. 2 on the weekend, eight weeks after it opened.

Given the trailers for TS4 so far, I’d rather they rerelease TS2 >_>

It’s crazy they signed off on it being made. The third one was such a beautiful send off for the franchise.

Totally agree. The new one just screams money grab

[Tyrath]

That's most sequels for you. So yeah not shocked it's happening.

[Anoat]

They wanted $1B worldwide on opening weekend, the mad lads did it.
