Avengers: Endgame earns $350 million domestically and $1.2 billion globally

Avengers: Endgame has made box office history with the largest domestic opening ever and the biggest worldwide debut.

Avengers: Endgame got off to an strong start at the box office, earning $60 million in Thursday night previews, and most assumed it would continue to be successful. But no one could have predicted it would smash massive records so quickly. And now, the latest offering from Marvel Studios has hit two new benchmarks.

THR reports that Avengers: Endgame will finish its opening weekend with a $350 million domestic haul, setting a new record for a U.S. debut. The film has also earned $859 million overseas, adding up to a $1.2 billion global cume, which is also a record.

In addition, the movie also expanded the domestic box office market. With help from Endgame, the domestic box office earned more than $397 million. According to THR, up until this point, the highest domestic total in a single weekend was $314 million.

It’s also worth mentioning the film has also helped the business of a fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe production, Captain Marvel. Marvel Studios’ first female-led solo film catapulted back up to the number two position this weekend with an additional $8 million. This, of course, is mostly due to the Avengers connection. However, Captain Marvel has already proven itself at the box office with a global total of $1.1 billion.

Avengers: Endgame is proving to be a cinematic moment in history not only in terms of filmmaking, but in its box office reach, as well. The film is also the 22nd installment in the MCU and marks the end of the franchise’s “Infinity Saga.” To say the film has set new standards cinematically and financially would be an understatement.

Endgame still has a long way to go in its box office run, and it’s bound to hit at least a few more records before it’s done. And even though it’s too early to say, it has a firm shot at becoming the highest-grossing film of all time.
