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.
Infinity War, which took 11 days to hit $1 billion, versus five days for Avengers: Endgame, topped out at $2.04 billion globally.
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.
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.
The nostalgia factor has come into play as well.
