Avengers: Endgame Box Office Passes 2 Billion; Falls Short of Star Wars

avengers-endgame-box-office-2-billion

The latest numbers are in, and while The Avengers: Endgame may fail to beat the record for the best second-weekend gross held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it still manages to perform admirably at the box office and pass the 2 billion dollar mark.

While Deadline and other sites were pushing the narrative that Endgame would overtake Star Wars, I looked at the actual numbers and felt it would come up just short, which is what may happen, assuming the latest estimates hold true.

The Avengers: Endgame needs to sustain a 58% drop or lower to beat Star Wars, but it is reported its second-weekend box office fell 59.2% giving Endgame a $145,804,000 gross to The Force Awaken‘s second-weekend record of $149.2 million. The 59.2% drop is also more than The Avengers: Infinity War‘s second-weekend drop of 55.5% (Force Awakens only dropped 39.8%).

It should be mentioned Disney’s reports the actual numbers tomorrow, so there is still a chance Endgame could overtake Star Wars (updated it didn’t: see official box office numbers below).

The Avengers: Endgame 2 Billion Box Office

While Endgame may not have beat out Star Wars, it reaches over 2 billion dollars at the box office in only 12 days of release. Its U.S. box office is already over $619 million, and it has another massive $1.569 billion from international audiences, with its Chinese box office at a whopping $575 million.

It also looks as if the flick will pass Avatar to become the #1 movie worldwide. Avatar is currently at $2.788 billion to Endgame‘s near $2.2 billion. While it took Avatar 47 days to pass $2 billion, Endgame did it in only twelve, which is a huge feat.
