Avengers Endgame ($2.188B) passed Titanic and is now the second highest grossing movie of all time!
Even adjusted for inflation, this has just entered the 10 biggest grossers of all time – The Force Awakens is at #10 at $2.144B adjusted, and Endgame did $2.188B. And all this, just 10 days after release. This is insane.
Looks like it’s #9, it passed Jaws ($2.182B) as well. Very impressive.
Avengers: Endgame earned another $282 million overseas this weekend. Yes, the MCU epic crossed the $2 billion mark on Saturday. It also crossed the cumes of Avengers: Infinity War ($2.048 billion) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.068 billion) in the process. Its current overseas cume of $1.569 billion is above both Avengers: Infinity War ($1.37 billion) and Titanic ($1.528 billion, counting the reissues) as the second-biggest overseas earner of all time. It is still a solid $458.5 million below Avatar’s $2.0275 billion overseas cume. And, yes, it has passed the $2.189 billion global gross of Titanic to become the second-biggest movie of all time. #NeverAnAbsolution
The MCU sequel has earned $576 million in China after 13 days, which is just below Operation Red Sea ($579 million) and still below the potentially unapproachable Wandering Earth ($699 million) and well-out-of-reach Wolf Warrior 2 ($854 million). It has earned $52 million in India to displace The Jungle Book as the biggest-grossing Hollywood flick in said territory. Avengers: Endgame is also the highest all-time industry release in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand (western), Egypt, Ethiopia, Middle East (as a whole), Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, UAE, Turkey (western), Mexico, Colombia, Central America and Paraguay. The film has earned just 28% of its global cume in North America.
With a new global cume of $2.189 billion worldwide in just 12 days of release, it still has $599 million left between itself and Avatar’s $2.788 billion total. It ever more apparent just how huge Avatar’s global cume is in that a movie that opened with $1.223 billion in the first five days and has become the second-biggest global grosser in 12 days (and passed the $2 billion mark 36 days after than Avatar) may not take the top spot when all is said and done. It’s still something of a coin toss at this juncture, even with merely okay legs (-55% worldwide), and it’s not remotely a done deal.
