Marvel’s ‘Avengers: Endgame’ has broken ‘Avatar’s record as the
number one movie of all time in the United States but struggles to
complete the win globally.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that according to box office
estimates and Disney, ‘Endgame’ will take in $29.4 million domestically
(in the U.S. and Canada) at the end of its fourth weekend for a total of
$770.8 million in domestic ticket sales.
This means Endgame is sailing past ‘Avatar’s $761 million in domestic
ticket sales and taking the number two spot, behind only ‘Star Wars:
The Force Awakens’, which is still number one domestically with $937
million in the box office sales.
NAN reports that globally, ‘Endgame’ has now sold an estimated $2.6
billion in tickets, including $76.2 million that weekend. But ‘Avatar’
still reigns at number one with $2.79 billion in ticket sales globally.
Following a $2.223 billion 12-day global turnout, ‘Endgame’ earned
$44 million worldwide on its second Monday, with just $10.7 million in
North America
The Disney comic flick also earned $5 million in China, meaning it
was continuing to earn nearly 3.5 times its domestic gross overseas even
without China.
