In an absolutely amazing feat that is only worthy of Marvel's greatest heroes, Avengers:Endgame is proving to be the biggest box office opening of all time. What will surely be a massive tally and history making event, this latest entry in the long running comic book movie series is the cinematic equivalent of the Thanos snap. All theatrical foes will be destroyed this weekend as Endgame is being tracked for a $315 million opening by some analysts. This breaks all records, setting Disney's Marvel universe up for continued success. The film raked in $60 million alone from Friday night screenings alone. Friday is estimated to produce another $80 million, putting this thing on track for the record. It's currently showing in 4662 theaters with many dedicating more and more showings to the feature film.
To put things in perspective, Infinity War grossed $257 million in its opening frame with The Force Awakens following closely with $248 million in 2015. Adding to the financial gains of the movie, it's also grossed another $305 million in international markets already. These are insane numbers for a mega-franchise that will continue on for quite some time.
