International Box Office: Endgame Second Weekend Sends it Past $2 billion Worldwide

May 5, 2019

Avengers: Endgame

Avengers: Endgame added another $282.2 million in 55 markets over the weekend, according to Disney’s estimates, for totals of $1.569 billion internationally and $2.189 billion worldwide. The weekend total is much smaller than it was last weekend, but that’s because we are comparing five-day openings in many markets to a three-day weekend this time around. If you compare three-day weekends, then Endgame only dropped 55%, which is better than the similarly-calculated 61% decline Infinity War managed last year. The film became just the third film to reach $1.5 billion internationally and overtook Titanic for second place on the all-time chart. Avatar’s position in first place does not seem safe. Endgame is just the fourth film to reach $2 billion worldwide and will finish the weekend in third place, just ahead of The Force Awakens and just behind Titanic. (Note that our total for Titanic include its various re-releases, and, when those are included, Endgame is still in third place—some other sources report it ahead of Titanic already, but they’re not including all revenue for Titanic.)

As for new markets, the film had only one new release, Russia, where it opened on Monday. The film took in $32.6 million during its seven-day debut. This is a record opening for the market and even though it was a seven-day opening, this was still an impressive result.

Looking at the cumulative totals, China led the way with $575.8 million and it is already the biggest western release in that market and the third biggest overall. Only Wolf Warrior 2 and The Wandering Earth have done better in China. The film has already crossed $50 million in the U.K. ($89.9 million); South Korea ($82.1 million); Mexico ($61.6 million); Brazil ($56.3 million); and India ($51.8 million). Avengers: Endgame is already the biggest hit in Mexico and the biggest western hit in India. It won’t be long before more records fall in other major markets.
