Have we done this? Anyone care to guess the final Domestic gross for Endgame? -- nm - MDH Apr 29, 07:20 3
- They will move heaven and earth to get it to 1B. It'll make the Christopher Robin thing look low-key. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 07:27 1
  - I don't think they'll need to work that hard. -- nm - Diva Apr 29, 07:36
- 3.1250B -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 07:26
GOT Spoils and questions - Diva Apr 29, 07:17 10
- Was I the only one who thought (spoils) - Johnny Lawrence Apr 29, 07:27
- Spoil - decline Apr 29, 07:27 1
  - spoils - Roger More Apr 29, 07:31
- spoils - Jovian Apr 29, 07:23 1
  - Ha! I absolutely love Joviating Jovians by Jovian. -- nm - Diva Apr 29, 07:31
- On your first point... - Volnelk Apr 29, 07:20
- I look forward to the rewatch - spoilers - Beaker Apr 29, 07:19 3
  - We're re-watching tonight. - Diva Apr 29, 07:22 2
    - I'm surprised you were able to make it through the show last night -- nm - prayformojo Apr 29, 07:22 1
      - omg. yesterday...was Epic. - Diva Apr 29, 07:30
Odd summer touring pairing that is happening: Bryan Adams and Billy Idol. -- nm - MDH Apr 29, 07:16
Indonesia is moving its capitol, Jakarta, because of traffic. Also, it's sinking (North Jakarta sank 8 ft in 10 years!). -- (link) - Harry Tuttle Apr 29, 07:10
Reposting for the weekday crew: does Endgame get a Best Picture nomination? -- nm - Tim Apr 29, 07:04 2
- Nope -- nm - con_carne Apr 29, 07:17
- Yep -- nm - Jovian Apr 29, 07:12
so...Avatar 2 does $400 Million opening right to take back the record? --- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 06:54 17
- Nope. Not nearly enough goodwill stored up over the years for that to happen. MCU took 11 years and 22 films to build up to this. -- nm* - Diva Apr 29, 07:18
- Honestly, I don't see a path to this being beaten. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 07:06 5
  - Yep. Anything that beats it is going to have to have the same multi-year build-up that draws on a bunch of different audiences. - Roger More Apr 29, 07:34
  - Heh, no one bit on my comment below, but go ahead and read the IM. Totally agree. -- nm - MDH Apr 29, 07:14
  - Yeah there is nothing out there with the anticipation. - AJRimmer Apr 29, 07:11
  - Not even SW:RoS has a remote chance, even if it's the best SW movie ever. -- nm - Shaun Apr 29, 07:10
  - agreed. -- nm - Jovian Apr 29, 07:09
- Granted, Cameron has shown multiple times he can get butts to the theater, but no way. -- nm - MDH Apr 29, 07:01
- Raise your hand if you are guaranteed to go see this OW. - Shaun Apr 29, 06:56 8
  - I haven't seen the first one yet (although I've seen bits). -- nm - LMS UCO in the OGC Apr 29, 07:12
  - I guess I might watch the first one someday -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 07:02 6
    - Spawn you have become the many Slacker Faced God! Congrats, now do a post as Krusty -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 07:05 1
      - A Spawn has no name. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 07:33
    - The visuals are still unbeatable. It's the best looking movie of all-time. -- nm - Shaun Apr 29, 07:04 3
      - I'm not against seeing it, was just never really interested to bother -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 07:23
      - yup. the only movie where the 3D was worth the extra $$ -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 07:15
      - You misspelled The Fall -- nm - LMS UCO in the OGC Apr 29, 07:13
I've asked this before, but why does Disney underestimate every single one of their mega-blockbuster openings? - Inigo Apr 29, 06:51 6
- Too bad the old adjusts weren't a thing. I'd flip like a madman on a 945 adjust. -- nm - Shaun Apr 29, 06:53 1
  - I'm not even sure you'd make a ton of money on that. Most of these record breakers do well - Will Hunting Apr 29, 07:15
- So they can hype "this is even bigger than we thought!" - Roger More Apr 29, 06:52 2
  - But do they do that? Is there a press conference or anyone press that happens when actuals are released? -- nm - Inigo Apr 29, 07:05
  - right -- nm - prayformojo Apr 29, 06:53
- I think they could care less in this case. 350mil is a nice round number...what does 360mil matter in the estimate? - Will Hunting Apr 29, 06:52
Russia is likely weaponizing beluga whales -- (link) - Beaker Apr 29, 06:47 1
- The US needs to weaponize Orcas then. -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 07:06
HSX action: I went up 3(!!!!!) spots yesterday. The Endgame derivative cashouts are going to be spicy. - Shaun Apr 29, 06:46 2
- i'm one of those 5 people -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 29, 06:47 1
  - Oh, yeah, not the call... i'm in the 1.3mil group - Will Hunting Apr 29, 06:51

GOT spoils - Harry Tuttle Apr 29, 06:24
TIL: Argentina has seen over 50% inflation in the past 12 months -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 06:08 2
- Venezuela is not intended as a how-to manual, Argentina.... -- nm - Dr. Bruce Baron Apr 29, 06:31 1
  - The cruel part is that Argentina's government is relatively sensible. They're not Chavistas, or even Kirchners. -- nm - Roger More Apr 29, 06:47
So did Endgame do ok at the box office this weekend? -- nm - decline Apr 29, 06:01 3
- I mean the early estimates were looking like $360M so it sort of disappointed in the end. - MDH Apr 29, 07:00
- it was really hampered by the Captain Marvel carryover boycotts -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 06:18
- All The $$ -- nm - mud Apr 29, 06:15

- GOT: A, Fleabag: A -- nm - Harry Tuttle Apr 29, 06:25
- Endgame A- GoT B -- nm - Jovian Apr 29, 06:20
- Endgame: B, GOT: B-. Will still watch both again though after I tamp down my fangirl a bit. -- nm - Diva Apr 29, 06:18

For those of us (just me?) that don't watch Game of Thrones AND also didn't go see Avengers, this was a very quiet lost weekend on ST. -- nm* - Cuzzin Todd Apr 29, 05:06 8
- Yup. I would check ST but for the most part it was all Avengers and GoT. I get it as they're the two biggest pop culture things going right now -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 05:17 1
  - And will have been for some time -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 07:29
- Officiating in that Warriors-Rockets game was crazy, amiright? -- nm - Volnelk Apr 29, 05:15
- How about Line of Duty? -- nm - LMS UCO in the OGC Apr 29, 05:07 4
  - not crazy about this season, I gotta admit -- nm - mud Apr 29, 06:18 1
    - It's no season 3 for sure, but still fun. Speculative spoiler - LMS UCO in the OGC Apr 29, 07:06
  - Thanks for the recommendation of Fleabag. Just finished S1, can't wait for S2 (soon, soon!) -- nm - Harry Tuttle Apr 29, 05:53 1

Thus far since Wrestlemania, only 1 person has commented on my IIconics shirt. However! They did the catchphrase and pose so that’s worth double. -- nm* - Qale Apr 29, 03:10
It's confirmed, Netflix has cancelled Santa Clarita Diet. - LMS UCO in the OGC Apr 29, 03:02 8
- Such a fun show. I'm glad that we got three seasons out of it -- nm - prayformojo Apr 29, 05:22 1
  - This last season was it’s best, too :(. Nm - ralph wiggum Apr 29, 05:24
- I just started watching it with my gf and we really like it. This is crappy news. And if they're going to limit shows to three seasons I will -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 29, 05:19 4
  - yup, agreed. The quick trigger is why I started limiting my standard channel shows I started, Netflix won't last long for me if they follow suit -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 05:21 3
    - Crave here has a much greater number of shows to choose from now -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 05:21 2
      - When the in-laws were here for easter, they let me piggyback their Crave credentials since they wanted to watch GoT live on Easter Sunday. - Shaun Apr 29, 05:25 1

Since I'm not a GoT fan, tonight has felt rather quiet. Perhaps too quiet. I hope nothing world-changing happens tomorrow. - Beryllium Apr 29, 00:22 6

  - Although the floods in Mozambique and Nebraska are also on my mind. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 00:46 1
    - Could definitely use some good news after all that. -- nm - Flavorize Apr 29, 01:01
- Only thing I found, for world history, on April 29th is Battle at Monte Levunium: Emperor Alexius I beats Petshegenes in 1091. Although it is - Flavorize Apr 29, 00:39 2
  - Maybe it'll be something good for a change. - Beryllium Apr 29, 00:43 1
    - That would be amazing! Definitely would take that. Now that you got my hopes up, it'll probably end up being a discovery along these lines... - Flavorize Apr 29, 00:54
