Ever since Avengers: Endgame was announced, Hollywood insiders had no doubt it would be a box office smash.
But few people could have predicted just how big of a dent the movie would make in its opening weekend alone.
The latest MCU movie demolished all previous box office records by making a cool $1.2 billion in just its first few days in theaters.
It’s the first film in cinema history to cross the billion-dollar mark in its opening weekend, and knocked its predecessor—Avengers: Infinity War—from the top spot in terms of opening weekends by almost double (Infinity War broke records a year ago when it made $640 million worldwide during its first weekend in theaters). After grossing $2 billion in record time, and knocking James Cameron’s Titanic out of the number two spot of biggest blockbusters, Avengers: Endgame has now officially unseated yet another Cameron film, Avatar—which has held the number one spot for 10 years—to become the highest-grossing movie of all time.
