If there’s anything 11 years of Marvel Studios hits has taught us, it is that when one of its films scores a historic opening weekend, that momentum rolls into a second weekend that is similarly massive. “Avengers: Endgame” will prove that true on the largest scale the industry has ever seen.
On Monday, the final numbers were made official: $357.1 million domestic opening weekend — $100 million higher than “Avengers: Infinity War” — $866.5 million overseas, and a global opening of $1.22 billion. All of those figures are new records, and the global total after just five days is higher than the entire theatrical runs of “Iron Man 3” and “Captain America: Civil War.”
