For the first time ever, a film has made over $1 billion at the global box office after its first weekend in theaters, and that film is Marvel Studios? ?Avengers: Endgame? With a lethal combination of overwhelming critical and audience acclaim, unprecedented pre-release demand, and a day-and-date start in every theatrical market around the world except Russia, the 22nd Marvel Cinematic Universe installment has grossed $1.2 billion worldwide. It has become the fastest film to gross $1 billion worldwide and has eclipsed the total theatrical runs of 17 of its 21 MCU predecessors in just five days, including last month?s ?Captain Marvel.?
