AVENGERS: ENDGAME shattered just about every box office record one can imagine. The House of Mouse says 350MM, but industry estimates see it higher at 354.4MM, and the opening weekend worldwide is estimated at 1.2 Billion dollahs. How big is that? The previous record was set by Infinity War at a mere 258MM. How big is that? Big enough that it eclipses what all movies made the weekend Infinity War opened.You ask me how big is it? Captain Marvel, which places with 8MM, has grossed only 1.1 Billion worldwide since opening on March 8. The Curse of La Llorona shows with7.5MM on a 75 percent drop (with a 41MM total against a 9MM budget). Breakthrough slides 44 percent to the fourth slot with 6.3MM And Shazam! rounds out the Top Five with 5.5MM on a 66 percent drop, the biggest victim of Thanos.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

... with GARAGE ROCK! It's the time of year when I bring out The Standells - "Dirty Water/ Why Pick On Me", but I couldn't stop there. Let's have a baker's dozen of Nuggets, like Music Machine - "Talk Talk"; Blues Magoos - "We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet"; The Knickerbockers - "Lies"; The Outsiders - "Time Won't Let Me"; Count Five - "Psychotic Reaction"; The Seeds - "Pushin' Too Hard"; 13th Floor Elevators - "You're Gonna Miss Me"; Love - "My Little Red Book"; The Leaves - "Hey Joe"; Electric Prunes - "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night," the Crazy World of Arthur Brown - "Fire" and The Nazz- "Open My Eyes."

AVENGERS: ENDGAME is this weekend's sole wide realeas, currently scoring 96 percent on the ol' Tomatometer. Thursday night tickets sold out at my theater within seconds, so I'll be seeing it today. I would feel worse about not having a review for you this morning but for the fact that reviewing this movie is like reviewing the sun. It's already cleared 200MM overseas and may well clear another 300MM domestically this weekend. Nothing I have to say is going to affect whether anyone sees it, so it can wait for Monday.
