Walt Disney Co.\u2019s superhero epic \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d became the first movie to gross more than $1 billion in its debut at the world-wide box office.<\/p>\nWalt Disney Co.\u2019s superhero epic \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d became the first movie to gross more than $1 billion in its debut at the world-wide box office.<\/p>\n
Heading into the weekend it was a foregone conclusion that Avengers: <\/b>Endgame<\/b> would deliver the largest opening weekend of all-time, both domestically and globally, but to deliver a three-day domestic gross totaling an estimated $350 million and a global weekend over $1 billion was almost inconceivable. Today that figure has become a reality as Endgame<\/b> not only delivered an estimated $350 million over the course of its first three days in domestic release, but a massive $1.2 billion at the global box office in just its first five days in release.<\/p>\n
Disney and Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame<\/em> obliterated numerous records in its $1.2 billion worldwide launch \u2014 a mind-boggling opening that came in nearly $600 million ahead of the previous mark set a year ago by Avengers: Infinity War<\/em>.<\/p>\n The superhero pic is the culmination of the previous 21 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a blockbuster series that commenced with Iron Man<\/em> in 2008.<\/p>\n Getting back to the film’s weekend performance, a look at the the records Avengers: Endgame<\/b> broke this weekend at the domestic box office include:<\/p>\n As already mentioned, it wasn’t only domestic records that fell this weekend. Endgame<\/b>‘s $859 million international opening is over $400 million more than the previous record set by The Fate of the Furious<\/b> and the $1.2 billion in global ticket sales is nearly double the previous record of $640.5 million set by Avengers: Infinity War<\/b> just last year. The film is the fastest film to ever top $1 billion globally, doing so after just five days, and it already ranks as the 18th largest worldwide release ever and the sixth largest worldwide release in the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/b>.<\/p>\n Speaking of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the franchise’s 22 films have now grossed over $19.8 billion worldwide, of which nine have topped $1 billion at the global box office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Walt Disney Co.\u2019s superhero epic \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d became the first movie to gross more than $1 billion in its debut at the world-wide box office.
