Let’s first look at all the records the movie broke over these last few days that will eventually be broken: But while Star Wars: Rise of the Skywalker will surely draw an opening weekend crowd that puts it in the company of the aforementioned top 10 titles, but even diehard fans don’t feel a significance there the same way Endgame has had with not just Marvel fans but mainstream pop culture. Star Wars concludes the “Skywalker Saga” this December, giving us another sort of finale to the original series narrative as well as the sequel trilogy begun with The Force Awakens. ![]() No original movie will ever sell so many tickets, and there’s unlikely to be any other kind of franchise that has the sort of build up the MCU has. ![]() The rest of the top 10 there includes three more MCU installments, two of which are Avengers movies, a non-MCU Marvel superhero franchise sequel, another Star Wars sequel, a Batman film, and Jurassic World. Last year’s Avengers: Infinity War came close with its first-weekend attendance of 27.5 million. That’s a new record, previously held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which opened in December 2015 to a crowd of 28.5 million. In just three days (plus Thursday previews), the series finale of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it sold 39.6 million tickets in the US and Canada. But the attendance numbers, those will be hard to beat. Nor will a $1.2 billion worldwide opening. ![]() Some of the records will be broken again in the distant future because the value of money will be altered and eventually a $357.1 million domestic debut won’t be that rare. And yet, Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame has done so well in its opening weekend, that its achievements may never be topped. Thanks mostly to the rise of ticket prices and inflation, domestic grosses will always be increasing. Year after year, movies break box office records.
