  "account": "This weekend, moviegoers will have multiple acclaimed films to choose from, including Sony's horror hit \"Resident Evil,\" Robert Pattinson's drama \"Primetime,\" Universal/DreamWorks' animated adventure \"Forgotten Island,\" and Brad Pitt's survival thriller \"Heart of the Beast.\" However, the visually remastered reissue of \"Avengers: Endgame,\" titled \"Avengers: Endgame Encore,\" could potentially dominate the box office with a projected $25-30 million domestic weekend earnings. If it surpasses that mark, it would set a new record for the biggest weekend of any re-release, surpassing the $30.2 million earned by Disney's 2011 3D re-release of \"The Lion King.\" Even at the lower end of projections, \"Endgame Encore\" may still secure the No. 1 spot, while \"Resident Evil\" is projected to drop 60% from its opening weekend to $24 million. \"Primetime\" will face off with \"Heart of the Beast\" and \"Forgotten Island\" for the No. 3 spot, aiming for high teens opening weekend earnings. The release of teasers for the upcoming \"Avengers: Doomsday\" film is generating buzz, with presales already surpassing $50 million and expectations of challenging \"Spider-Man: Brand New Day's\" $360 million domestic opening weekend record. If interest persists beyond this weekend, \"Endgame\" could reclaim its all-time global box office record, currently sitting about $124 million behind James Cameron's 2009 sci-fi epic \"Avatar.\" Beyond the weekend earnings, \"Endgame Encore\" signals the launch of Disney's \"Infinity Vision\" campaign, promoting premium formats for \"Endgame Encore\" and \"Doomsday\" beyond IMAX, which will not support the latter due to its exclusivity deal with Warner Bros. for \"Dune: Part Three.\" This move aims to encourage moviegoers to explore other premium formats, potentially breaking the \"IMAX or bust\" mentality among some exhibitors. \"Primetime,\" A24's latest effort, stars Robert Pattinson, poised to become a significant Oscar contender with its 90% Rotten Tomatoes score. Pattinson's star power should help the film draw a broader audience, but whether his performance will extend its success beyond coastal moviegoers under 45 remains to be seen.",
