Avengers: Endgame Dusts Box Office Records With $350 Million Opening Weekend

It's official: the Avengers came to slay not only Thanos, although box office records as well.


Avengers: Endgame did more than delight legions of theatergoers with its three-hour long conclusion to the Infinity Saga years in the making – it also earned a estimated $350 million in ticket sales domestically and $1.2 billion globally. Those are some foolish numbers, also. Basically. This movie snapped more than Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War.


Studio estimates had previously forecast the film to open between $260 million and $300 million across theaters n the U.S. And Canada, although those predictions were speedily out the window once Endgame managed to beat the previous record of $257.7 million set by Avengers: Infinity War in 2018.


The demand for the movie was huge, also, which contributed to much of the insane quantity of cash it made over the course of its debut. Case in point, Disney had to make sure it would run in more theaters than any movie initial before, with around 4,662 theaters in the U.S. And Canada tapped to host it. Some theaters hosted showings in the middle of the night, while others didn't close to accommodate the quantity of fans looking to finally visualize what took place in the Endgame.


Just like that, Endgame has managed to break records set by films like The Dark Knight Rises, Aquaman, and also a collection of others, making more money than they managed to gross throughout their entire theatrical runs.


"This weekend's monumental success is a testament to the world they've envisioned, the talent involved, and their collective passion, matched by the irrepressible enthusiasm of fans around the world," mentioned Disney chairman Alan Horn of the movie's smashing success.


And it's only up from here. Can Avengers: Endgame unseat earners like The Force Awakens or Titanic from their thrones? We'll have to wait and see.
