As Avengers: Endgame continues to dominate the box office, it's not entirely surprising the film is proving to have better legs than its predecessor Avengers: Infinity War. The sequel may have a shot at truly overtaking Avatar as the highest-grossing movie of all time -- at least, judging by the film's repeat business.Fandango's Erik Davis revealed Avengers: Endgame is currently pulling in 85% more repeat business than Avengers: Infinity War. And while that doesn't guarantee Endgame will reach anywhere near Avatar's $2.78 billion, it's of note that Endgame is already sitting at $1.48 billion worldwide -- and it's not even a full week into release.
For comparison, Avengers: Infinity War took 11 days to cross $1 billion at the worldwide box office this time last year. The film went on to earn $678.8 million domestically and $1.3 billion internationally, bringing its final haul to an impressive $2.04 billion worldwide. As it currently stands, Avengers: Endgame has already amassed $427 million domestically and $1.05 billion internationally. It remains to be seen just how far Endgame goes, but a $2 billion finish looks reachable. Whether or not Endgame can get closer to Avatar's $2.78 billion, however, will depend on how well the film continues to hold in coming weeks.
Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Danai Gurira as Okoye and Bradley Cooper as Rocket, with Gwyneth Paltrow Pepper Potts, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, Benedict Wong as Wong, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie and Josh Brolin as Thanos.
