“Avengers: Endgame” Smashed Sales In The Box Office Even More Than Was Originally Projected
It appears that Disney’s “Avengers: Endgame” had a better opening Sunday than what was originally projected. According to Business Insider, the movie was originally projected to bring in $84.3 million on Sunday, but it actually took in $90.3 million. That brings its total domestic gross to $356 million. The movie also upped its international gross to $866 million. That puts the global gross for “Endgame” is $1.222 billion over five days (the movie opened in China on Wednesday).
Endgame’s release is one for the history books as it became the first film to surpass $1.2 billion globally over an opening weekend. The previous record-holder ‘Infinity War’ ran for 11 days before it hit the same figure.
According to a recent post in Variety, Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn had this to say about the film’s impressive opening weekend, “Though ‘Endgame” is far from an end for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these first 22 films constitute a sprawling achievement and 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.”
Marvel films now hold the title of having the two biggest film launches worldwide ever. “Avengers: Endgame” and “Avengers: Infinity War.” All 22 films in the franchise have collectively made $19.9 billion at the box office and 8 went on to cross over $1 billion at the box office including “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Black Panther,” “The Avengers,” “Captain America: Civil War,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and “Iron Man 3.”
