‘Avengers: Endgame’ Has The Biggest Opening Night Box Office Ever
Avengers: Endgamejust left all other blockbuster movie openings in the dust with a staggering $140 million-$150 million domestic opening day haul from its Thursday night premiere. Just a day after its theatrical release, and theAvengers Endgamebox office is already setting records for the best opening day in cinematic history.
CouldAvengers: Endgamecrack$1 billion globally on its opening weekend?That is looking more and more likely after the record-shattering opening night in just its domestic Thursday night previews. According toDeadline, the climactic Marvel Cinematic Universe movie (Hulk-)smashed the opening night record set byStar Wars: The Force Awakens, which opened to $119 million in 2015. As of Friday mid-day,Avengers: Endgamehas torn past those records with a whopping $140 million-$150 million opening day.
And it’s likely thatAvengers: Endgamewill maintain its strong box office legs over the next weeks. By the end of this weekend, industry insiders estimated to Deadline thatAvengers: Endgamecould blow past $315 million-$330 million. Until now, making it past the $300 million mark in its opening weekend seemed unlikely, as it would be a feat that no film has ever achieved. But with ticket pre-sales breaking websites, and a record 4,500 screens across the United States and Canada — some theaters arestaying open for 72 hoursstraight in order to meet fan demand — it’s totally possible.
