“We cannot thank all of our fans enough.
Before its opening weekend came to a close, Avengers: Endgame smashed box office records, putting the movie on track to become the most successful film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and giving the upcoming Star Wars sequel a new high bar to shoot for.
In Avengers: Endgame, the Avengers still remaining after the events of Infinity War team up to take down purple-skinned bad guy Thanos in a “final stand,” as the studio phrased it. After 21 previous MCU films, fans proved to still be loyal to the franchise, turning out in droves to theaters. Sales for only one full day already topped entire opening weekends of over 10 other Marvel films.
As of Sunday morning, Avengers: Endgame had already grossed more than $1.2 billion worldwide, with $350 million of that coming from just U. S. ticket sales, and nearly $900 million from international markets that got the movie a few days earlier, according to Box Office Mojo, making it the highest opening weekend internationally of all time.
