Avengers: Endgame has its eyes on a record-breaking box office prize. The culmination of everything Marvel Studios has created is projected for a massive $840 million worldwide in its first few days in theaters, following confirmation of an early opening in China on April 24.
A weekend hauling in more than $840 million at the worldwide box office would put Avengers: Endgame far above the previous record for an opening weekend. That honor is currently held by its predecessor, Avengers: Infinity War, which garnered what was an impressive $640.4 million in its opening weekend in 2018. Avengers: Endgame is set to crush the record by more than $200 million if the early projections are accurate.
Avengers: Infinity War took in $382.7 million internationally in its opening weekend, paired with 257.7 million domestically. It would open in China two weeks after the rest of the world, bowing to a $199.3 million weekend. The three opening weekend numbers combine for $839.7 million. In its entire run, Avengers: Infinity War took in $2.048 billion worldwide.
This time around, Avengers: Endgame will have two extra days to work with at the Chinese box office, versus the 3-day run seen by Avengers: Infinity War.
Though the Russo Brothers did not set out to make Avengers: Endgame better than Avengers: Infinity War by making it bigger, the box office is looking like it is going to do just that.
