Finally, someone else gets a shot.
Avengers: Endgame led one of our two trailer metrics for an astonishing 18 consecutive weeks, and led both of our two metrics simultaneously for three consecutive weeks.
Now we’ve finally stopped tracking the title, following this past weekend’s record-shattering theatrical debut.
July’s Disney musical and July’s superhero movie lead our two main metrics this week, in our weekly Thursday feature Trailer Impact.
Note: we have not yet begun tracking trailers for some major films including Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Frozen II. A full list of trailers we’re currently tracking is at the bottom of the article.
