Avengers: Endgame began its worldwide dominance yesterday and it’s already smashing records overseas.
The epic superhero mash-up grossed $169 million in its first day of overseas release on Wednesday. This includes a record first day opening in China of $107.2 million. Marvel Studios and Disney’s superhero juggernaut is virtually assured of shattering records with a projected global launch of $900 million to $950 million, if not more. That could include a potential all-time best of $270 million to $300 million in North America, where it opens in 4,600 theaters, the widest release ever.
Endgame begins previews today in North America in most locations at 6 PM and it’s bound to break preview record numbers in the states as well.
