Normally the reverse would be true I suspect, studios wouldn't mind if a bit of extra earnings are unannounced to avoid some tax.
To be fair something funny happened, boxoffice mojo had the film like 10 million behind wich would have made it a photo finish and then in SDCC they annunced Endgame had already beat avatar on a friday (like not even after the weekend numbers).
if you look at the numbers it did 4 million in Greece out of the blue that weekeend ,
Im not saying it was rigged but the film was making peanuts in the foreign market by that time, then it makes 4 million from a small market, no one could have predicted that.

I do agree that what the MCU has done, bringing a story arc spread out over 11 years and 22 movies to an almost--
Looking on Box Office Mojo the Greek release was handled by a separate distribution company(maybe a legality in Greece that you need a local sub distributor or save tax by doing so?) not Disney themselves as in most of the world so perhaps it took this long for the figures to come though?
Looking at those figures it appears all of its earnings in Greece were from that weekend. So it didn’t open in Greece till July 19?
Maybe, the second article I linked says the found some "extra money" when adding all the money, wich could be a reference to this, teh fact it happened exactly at SDCC is what makes me think they played around with the numbers one way or another.
As I said before I dont think the numbers are rigged as in Endgame would not have beat Avatar, I think in the worst case scenario endagme has done enough money to beat Avatar again even without the SDCC bump, but maybe Disney witheld information to make the announcement at SDCC or they doctored the data to make the announcement there and not a week or 2 later.
The difference between MCU Fans and Trekkies: MCU Fans wonder what it would like to have sex with Asgardian warrior women or Russian super assassins.
