Endgame Encore Returns to No. 1 with $86 Million Global Weekend

The reissue’s brief new footage frames the film as a lead‑in to December’s Avengers: Doomsday.

Overview

  • The re-release opened this weekend and earned an estimated $86 million worldwide, about $26 million in North America and $60 million internationally, bringing Endgame’s cumulative gross to roughly $2.88 billion.
  • Marvel added roughly four to five minutes of new material across a revised ending and post‑credit stings that the studio says are meant to bridge into Avengers: Doomsday without becoming part of that film’s official runtime.
  • Reporting shows Disney’s new Infinity Vision premium certification accounted for a large share of ticket sales, with just over half of Encore’s revenue coming from Infinity Vision and IMAX‑style screenings.
  • Directors Joe and Anthony Russo described the added scenes as a way to “pull the story forward” and confirmed the specific Encore moments will not appear in Doomsday; Marvel plans to make the Encore cut available on Disney+ after its theatrical window.
  • The rerelease has already nudged MCU viewing habits, pushing Loki back up Disney+ charts and narrowing Endgame’s gap on the all‑time global box office leaderboard as the studio builds momentum for December.
