Are you shocked?
Avengers: Endgame just hit theaters three days ago, but it is already one the highest grossing films all time. That comes as no surprise to those who have invested the last decade their lives into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As a lifelong Marvel fan, and comic collector, I had the honor writing the Endgame review, which can be found here. Although there were some narrative plot holes, overall, Marvel’s epic conclusion to the Infinity Saga was emotionally satisfying and featured the best action from any superhero movie ever released on the big screen. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, get ready to laugh, cry, and cheer through the three-hour spectacle.
According to NME, Endgame brought in an estimated $644 million at the worldwide box fice this weekend. Those numbers do not reflect Sunday’s ticket sales. Endgame grossed an estimated $487 million overseas, which establishes a new international weekend record, originally held by The Fate the Furious ($443 million). Raking in over half a billion in one weekend proves that Endgame is heading for a world-shattering haul that could place the film as the highest grossing movie all time. Where will the MCU go after this emotionally devastating film? We can’t wait to find out.
