I don’t think it’s going to break Avatar either.
This movie was highly anticipated, the most ever. If you haven’t seen it yet, you likely have no intention of ever seeing it.
This isn’t one of those word of mouth movies where people who had zero interest when it came out will have some now.

What? It will be 2.5ish by Sunday. It is going to pass Avatar.
Edit: oh you must have meant in just international.

So it’s already #2 globally all time? After three weekends?

Also does not look like Pikachu will do so great. Early returns are not looking great.

Update - Tues 12.5, Wed 8.4, Thurs 7.5. It's definitely slowing down a bit. I still think 900 million is possible, but surpassing TFA will be tough.
Might get some new viewers as school gets out over the next month. My son's end of school/end of spring sports schedule has been crazy so we haven't gone to see it yet. That's two tickets when we go see it a couple weeks from now.

nobody thought this had a chance to beat Pikachu

Wow surprising numbers for Pikachu. Incredibly disappointing considering the perceived power of the IP.
Honestly I think the Pokemon Go game coming out a few years ago scratched a nostalgic itch for everyone and then they went back to not caring about. Had this movie come out before then, it would have been massive.

The long run time probably means fewer people will see it more than once in theater.

It's doing poorly overseas as well.

I told everyone this would beat Pikachu and no one believed me.

It's going to take Pikachu and John Wick to unseat Endgame.

So is this still looking certain to pass Avatar? How long is it going to take?
Not that it matters, I'm just curious.

Finishing in second is WB's Detective Pikachu with an estimated $58 million. The adaptation of the 2016 video game of the same name, which itself was based on the popular Pokemon franchise, delivered what is now the largest opening weekend for a video game adaptation ever, topping 2001's Lara Croft Tomb Raider ($47.7m). Not only that, opening weekend audiences liked the film to the tune of an "A-" CinemaScore, which is only the sixth time a video game adaptation has scored anything higher than a "B". In fact, three of the previous "A-" CinemaScores went to WB's three previous Pokemon films and the other two "A-" scores went to Mortal Kombat and Rampage.
Looking ahead, should Detective Pikachu follow in the footsteps of previous video game adaptations, we're probably looking at a domestic run anywhere from $145-165 million. Outside that range on the high end, films such as Hitman, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life and Prince of Persia delivered 3x multiples, which would mean a domestic run closer to $175 million, but a performance closer to the likes of Rampage and The Angry Birds Movie seems a little more reasonable at this point, which would suggest a domestic run topping $160 million. However you look at it, we're talking about a film that will soon become the highest grossing video game adaptation of all-time domestically as it has already entered the top ten after just three days in release.
Internationally, Detective Pikachu delivered an estimated $103 million this weekend for a running overseas cume that now totals $112.4 million after opening in Japan last weekend where it has brought in nearly $13 million so far. The film's international performance is led by this weekend's opening in China where it has already brought in nearly $41 million. Additional openings include UK ($6.6m), Germany ($5.0m), Mexico ($4.97m), France ($4.8m), Australia ($3.5m), Korea ($3.2m), Italy ($2.8m), Spain ($2.2m), Indonesia ($2.14m) and Taiwan ($2.06m). The next major market release is Russia where the film will open on May 16.

Combined they made about $120 million, so if 20% of that total came from people who had to decide between the two films, then they would account for about $24 million. Let’s just say that half went to each of them, so that would mean absent the other film, Endgame would have made about $75 million (49% drop) and Pikachu would have made $70 million.
I think given the projections, those figures are very possible. Now on the other hand, that may mean subsequent weekend will do better.

About 300 million to go to beat Avatar.
Why do people on this board think John Wick will have an impact? The movies may be good but they don't gross anything.

JW will do about 50 mil this weekend. Endgame should do about 32-35 mil.

Box Office: 'Avengers: Endgame' Tops $2.5 Billion Worldwide
With around $4.72 million on Monday (-56% from last Monday’s $10.7 million gross, compared to a 45% drop on Infinity War's third Monday), Avengers: Endgame has now earned $728.5 million in 18 days of domestic release. That puts it $31.5 million away from Avatar’s $760 million domestic gross and thus still in third place among unadjusted domestic earners. On the “adjusted-for-inflation” list, it is still in 24th place below the $748 million adjusted gross ($74 million counting the reissues in raw grosses) of Fantasia.
