Avengers Endgame Shatters Global Box Office Records With 1.2 Billion Dollar Debut
Marvel's highly anticipated conclusion earns an unprecedented 1.2 billion dollars worldwide in just a few days, breaking nearly every domestic opening weekend record along the way.
Avengers: Endgame is breaking global box office records by earning an estimated 1.2 billion dollars worldwide in its opening days. This massive financial haul serves as the culmination of a highly profitable film franchise that began with Iron Man in 2008 and currently holds a 96 percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Domestically, the film earns an estimated 350 million dollars during its opening weekend, making it the first movie to ever surpass the 300 million dollar mark in a single weekend. It sets new records for the biggest Friday, Saturday, and Sunday ever, with Friday alone bringing in 156.7 million dollars, while Thursday night previews alone earn more than most 2019 films make in their entire runs.
These staggering numbers come despite the film's three-hour runtime, which typically limits the number of daily theater showings. The movie overcomes this limitation by screening at a record-breaking 4,662 theaters and easily outpaces the previous Avengers film by more than 100 million dollars.
