“Avengers: Endgame” has done the impossible.
In just five days, the Marvel film hauled in more than $1.2 billion at the global box office.
This shatters the previous record for the highest weekend total of $641 million set by “Avengers: Infinity War” last year. This has never happened before and marks the fastest a film has ever reached the billion dollar mark.
“Infinity War” was the previous record holder with 11 days.
In the U.S., the Marvel superhero flick took in a record-breaking estimated $350 million during its opening weekend, shattering expectations. The previous domestic record was held by “Avengers: Infinity War,” which opened last year to $257.6 million.
Disney bumped up its estimates for the film’s full weekend Saturday after a record opening day debut, saying it expected the film to gross between $310 million and $340 million in the U.S.

I was one of those who saw it on opening day (along with Mrs. Hoagy62). It was the first time I'd ever been in a sold-out theater. I expected a rowdy crowd, but the people were quiet, and during the film they were utterly silent, hanging on every word, except for laughing at the jokes and sight gags, and the occasional gasp of shock or surprise.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and worthy of ALL the hype generated over the last couple of months. I doubt there will ever be a film that equals the monetary intake this film generated.
Don’t spoli the ending for people who havent seen it yet.
CaptainAmerica comes out as gay.
Amazing box office performance. More than $100 million ahead of Infinity War and Force Awakens North American openings.
Oh great. Now, I have no reason to see this film?
Thanks a lot.
My grandkids will be dragging me to this.
After which he demands to be called "Betty".
are you serious? If so i won’t watch it-
Am not serious. Have not seen it.
I saw it last night with my sons. We loved it. A three hour movie that went by too quickly. The ending was very satisfying. Captain America did not come out gay. In fact, now that it was mentioned, I don’t think there is one gay character in the whole movie.
“Captain America did not come out gay. “
Transgender.
Disney has promised to introduce homosexuals and body proud parts in the future
“In fact, now that it was mentioned, I don’t think there is one gay character in the whole movie.”
A hate movie then.

None of that money was mine.
Thought it was ironic that the real Captain Marvel (or “Shazam”) beat “Captain Marvel” (Ms. Marvel) at the box office anyhow.
I read afterwards that co-director Joe Russo portrays a man at a post “snap” talk. Yes, I missed it too.
Saw it this morning. It was fun. Brought back some memories as a kid. I am not sure if I would give it a 9 of 10. At one point after a Capt “speech” my wife leaned over and said, “Now watch him go off on a rant about his politics.” She kind of killed the moment.
Worth the read for those who care about their kids. Let’s just say that God is not giving this one a thumbs up.
I think it was the other way around. Mar-vell was originally Shazam. Then DC took it from them. I could be wrong.
I will have to check with you about what God thinks of all mymovie choices.
You know, the voices you are hearing are not “God”, right?
When Hollywood puts out entertainment rather than propaganda - we’ll all show up to cheer... Thanks to both of you (Mrs. Hoagy62 too) for sharing your ‘two thumbs up’ review!
Oh, wait! There was a fag in that talk. I thought it was absurd that Capt. America was talking about how they have to rebuild the world and the homosexual was whining about his “date”. How do you rebuild the world with homos?
