'Avengers: Endgame Encore' Pulls in $86M at Weekend Box Office
The re-release topped global box office charts for a re-release and pushed the film’s total to $2.88 billion, just $39 million behind Avatar.
On Friday, Avengers Endgame Encore returned to theaters, scoring the largest opening weekend ever for a re-release by earning over $86 million worldwide.
The re-release builds excitement for Doomsday by including exclusive footage and debuting Infinity Vision, The Walt Disney's new premium certification for large-format theaters.
Overseas audiences contributed $60 million to the total, while North America accounted for $26 million, marking the third-biggest opening weekend for a re-release on that market's home turf.
These earnings pushed the 2019 Endgame lifetime total to $2.88 billion, leaving it just $39 million shy of the $2.9 billion record held by James Cameron's Avatar.
Directed by the Russo Brothers, Doomsday hits theaters December 18 and features Robert Downey, who will play the villain Doctor Doom instead of reprising Iron Man.
