The pandemic won't last forever and ever so I say no.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Eventually things will get back to normal but could take several years.

 

[humminbird]

no because the studios are working with theaters to bring it back

 

[Deltron]

no,

but I don't think we'll see another billi in a weekend like endgame did in our lifetime...

 

[Diunx]

We about to enter the Post Covid era for a while, so you gonna be seeing shyt like "spiderman breaks the post covid gross record".

 

[Ironman]

For another year at least

The convenience of streaming Will so I say yes

There was streaming prior to the pandemic and movies were doing a billion.
And top tier actors and directors still buy into the prestige of films over TV.

I think Pandora’s box was opened with the same day release. Will be hard to put that back in the bottle. We may get impressive box offices at some point several years from now but I don’t think we will record breaking with any sort of regularity…

I'm not saying regularly it will be rare. But never again? Some movie will capture the general audience imagination and many will see it in theaters to get over a billy.

 

[Depreciating Asset]

Black Panther 2??

 

[HipHopStan]

Black Panther 2??

There seems to be a lot of stigma against this movie. Regular fans that I know are taken aback that they didn't recast T'Challa after Boseman's passing.

 

[Vandelay]

Spiderman is gonna do numbers provided we don't have a lockdown again. It's not going to do its full potential, but I feel it'll hit 150-175 domestic first weekend. It's got enough juice that its hard to see it fail.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Yes. As more people adapt to staying home for movies the chance of records being broken are fading fast
