I've just had an email from Amazon, confirming the UK release date as 2nd September.

disney grinds on. so part of the reason for the rerelease date is the dvd/blu-ray is basically a little more than a month away. begging marvel for more bonus stuff would have been pointless, as i'm sure the final dvd/blu-ray was assembled months ago.
i'm a bit confused about the rerelease, though--are all showings the rerelease? the fandango time listings appear the same.

All showing will be with the add-ons come Friday - Fandango just never updated. Some theaters have allotted more time between showings. Those that haven't will just knock off 2-3 trailers or lessen cleaning time.
i assume "the boys in accounting" have crunched the numbers, but superficially, i'm not sure if this rerelease will be enough to break avatar's record. i see some pundits are guessing a $10 million weekend tops in the US. i assume the mouse is also accounting for overseas to make up the difference. delaying home release and allowing for a more extended run in the dead of summer or later on the year seems like it would have been a better strategy.

Early estimates - Variety has it at $8m and Deadline at $6.3m for the w/e. If that holds either one is strong enough since with that $3,000-4,000 PTA they're not going to take it's screens away soon considering the other films playing to less. Domestically it could mean $20-30m from this expansion. Internationally it's a staggered roll out. Going into this w/e it was about $35m WW behind. Looks like the bean counters could be right and it's enough.

I'm going again tomorrow night. Looking at the screening, there's only about a dozen seats left, right at the front. OK it's only an 80-odd seat screen, but that's still a wodge of cash.

The question of how exactly Cap’s last trip through time worked at the close of Avengers: Endgame has been one of the most-discussed plot points of the movie since it arrived. What’s fueled the mystery is that the makers of the film believe conflicting explanations for it.
The Russos have clarified that the act of Steve Rogers going back to live happily with Peggy Carter would create a new timeline. However, writers Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus have argued that he’s been in the prime MCU timeline all along. He’s apparently even the father of Peggy’s kids.
Now, once again, the Russos have maintained that they believe Cap would’ve created a different timeline. While speaking with Fox 5 DC, the brothers went over their interpretation of how it works.
“The way that it would work is that when Captain America goes back, he would create a branch reality,” said Joe. “Now he would exist in that branch reality with a second Captain America who was frozen in ice.”
Anthony then added:
“Peggy understood that he was dead at that point in the storytelling because Cap went back to a point in time where nobody knew he still was alive, frozen in ice.”
As per previous teases they’ve made that there’s potentially more of Cap to come, Joe went on to say that he thinks the question of how Steve returned to the prime timeline is “a story for another time.”
“Now what’s also a story for another time is, of course, if he created a branch reality, he would then have to use a Pym Particle to come back to this reality to hand that shield off.”
Markus and McFeely have previously been asked about their version of Cap’s ending conflicting with the Russos and have said that it’s designed to be open to interpretation, so whatever your personal understanding of it is it’s equally valid. Until a future instalment of the franchise provides a definitive answer, that is. For instance, if Cap and Peggy’s super-powered kids eventually appear, as the writers have suggested could happen.

"The movie came to life every time you were on the screen." Stan Lee to Chris Evans.
as the corporate slave that i am, i went out to see the rerelease.
i'll try to be diplomatic. i hope fans go out to push the movie past avatar, as meaningless as that is. it would be nice for chris to have the bragging rights of being #2 in the #1 film box-office wise of all time, though i'm also certain he doesn't care. but people hoping for more chris evans/steve rogers content in the extra stuff will be disappointed.
i feel like this was a really missed opportunity for marvel. if they had released more bonus content (more deleted scenes, an extended gag reel, anything) i think they could have easily have gotten the necessary boosts stateside. as of now, generous estimates will have the movie getting another $10 million by the time its "extended" run finishes, and it will have to rely on the international market to cross the threshold (i saw on an italian based insta account that it's being rereleased there july 4, so there's at least that). if it fails to cross the threshold, it'll be a double hit, since it won't get the (empty) title, so they would have pulled this stunt for nothing.
i really do believe that endgame does deserve a best picture nom, as it represents a culmination of a decade's worth of storytelling, and a tremendous effort from all involved. it feels like this stunt might unnecessarily color academy voter's (already likely dim) view.
I have questions. Why would he go back to a time when he was still in the ice as opposed to before he crashed the plane into the ice? Could he go back to a point where he could prevent Bucky from falling out of the train? Or could he not take the risk of going back to before Red Skull was defeated in case he didn't defeat him and NY had a nuke dropped on it? In the branch reality is it a foregone conclusion that the other Cap will actually be found or could he remain in the ice? Is the whole idea that we do this? ie think about it and decide our own answers creating our own branch realities?

this is why bibbiani pointed out, and it's worth repeating, "it's time travel. it never really makes sense." it's true of all the oldest films on time travel. the original terminator is the best example. why doesn't skynet kill sarah connor when she's a baby (as rhodey suggests for thanos, which i'm sure was a wink about time travel movies)? why not kill her grandparents or her parents? the permutations are literally limitless. bottom line: james cameron just wanted to make a movie about a killer robot. everything else is just aesthetic detail.
