Avengers: Endgame Reclaims Box-Office Crown With 'Endgame Encore'

Disney is using added footage and premium IMAX plus Infinity Vision screenings to nudge the film's lifetime gross closer to Avatar's record.

Overview

  • The reissue opened to an estimated US$86 million worldwide over the Sept. 24–27 weekend, with about US$26 million in the United States and Canada and US$60 million in international markets.
  • Those receipts raised Endgame's cumulative total to roughly US$2.88 billion, leaving it about US$39 million short of Avatar's all-time global record.
  • Endgame Encore features additional scenes, new post-credit material and an introductory message from Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, plus exclusive tie-ins for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
  • Disney used the re-release to roll out Infinity Vision, a new Premium Large Format certification, and the film played in IMAX and Infinity Vision auditoriums to drive higher ticket prices and presentation quality.
  • The run produced notable local turnout—about 63,000 viewers in Peru on its first day—and helped Endgame top the weekend while Sony's Resident Evil held second place with roughly US$23.3 million in its second weekend.
