AVENGERS: ENDGAME Blows Up With a $1.2 Billion Global Opening and Marvel Tells The Fans "We Love You 3000"
We all knew that Avengers: Endgame was going to explode at the box office, but a $1.2 billion dollar world wide debut!? Holy crap! That’s amazing and insane! $350 million of that was brought in by North American audiences alone.
This means that Avengers: Endgame is the biggest movie debut in history! The movie is well on it’s way to dethroning James Cameron’s Avatar. It seems like that’s inevitable, some reports are even saying that the movie could get close to the $3 billion mark!
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore had this to say about why the movie is such a huge box office success:
“‘Endgame’ represents the culmination of a decade long commitment of Marvel to the audience and the fans devotion to the beloved characters of the MCU. This massive and historic debut shows that by delivering consistently great movies coupled with characters inhabited by perhaps the most perfectly cast group of actors in cinematic history, Marvel has literally rewritten the rule book and in the process has made box office history.”
He went on to say:
“The Avengers, by assembling the biggest movie debut in history, have proven that another of their superpowers is the ability to knock several percentage points off the year-to-date deficit. ‘Endgame’ has truly started the momentum rolling on potentially the biggest revenue generating summer (and year) in box office history.”
Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn had this to say in a statement:
“Kevin Feige and the Marvel Studios team have continued to challenge notions of what is possible at the movie theatre both in terms of storytelling and at the box office. Though ‘Endgame’ is far from an end for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these first 22 films constitute a sprawling achievement, and this weekend’s monumental success is a testament to the world they’ve envisioned, the talent involved, and their collective passion, matched by the irrepressible enthusiasm of fans around the world.”
Marvel Studios has accomplished something incredible and I seriously can’t wait to see what they’ve got planned for the next ten years! Will they be able to top what they’ve already done!? Only time will tell.
Marvel appreciates the fans and their support and they ended up sharing a little tweet tell us, “We love you 3000.”
Thank you to all the fans around the world for being part of our universe. We love you 3000. #AvengersEndgame pic.twitter.com/ZAHYQDetZ5
