Los Angeles,\u00a0 “<\/strong>Avengers: Endgame”, the final chapter from the “Avengers” franchise, has broken records globally by raking in $1.2 billion, with $26.7 million of its earnings coming in from India, in its first weekend.<\/p>\n

The movie opened to $350 million in North America and $859 million overseas for a global launch of $1.2 billion, including $330.5 million in China, reports hollywoodreporter.com.<\/p>\n

Directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo shot the latest Avengers film back-to-back with last year’s “Avengers: Infinity War”, the previous record-holder for biggest global opening, $640.5 million.<\/p>\n

“Infinity War”, which took 11 days to hit $1 billion, versus five days for “Avengers: Endgame”, topped out at $2.04 billion globally.<\/p>\n

The guessing game has already begun as to whether the latest movie in the epic franchise can surpass $2.5 billion and match or topple “Avatar”, the top-grossing film of all time with $2.78 billion.<\/p>\n

“Avengers: Endgame” grossed $156.7 million on April 26 in North America, where the three hour-long movie got the widest release ever across 4,662 theatres.<\/p>\n

The nostalgia factor has come into play as well.<\/p>\n

Not only is “Avengers: Endgame” a direct sequel to “Avengers: Infinity War”, it’s the culmination of the previous 20-plus titles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), a blockbuster series of films that commenced with “Iron Man” in 2008 and established Kevin Feige’s Marvel Studios as best in show.<\/p>\n

Feige has credited fans around the world for their support throughout the film’s journey.<\/p>\n

The film’s opening performance outside the US has been marvellous.<\/p>\n

In addition to China, where it is already the number four title of all time, it scored the highest opening weekend in 43 markets including India, UK\/Ireland, Australia, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and France.<\/p>\n

According to deadline.com, in India, the film has made $26.7 million till April 28, after releasing on April 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
