Avengers: Endgame is smashing records overseas, where it opened to an astounding $USD169 million.
That includes $USD107.2 million in China.
Endgame touched down in its first 25 markets setting all‑time industry single day records in many areas. All markets saw openings above that of Avengers: Infinity War when opening on the same day.
Marvel Studios and Disney's superhero juggernaut is virtually assured of shattering box‑office records with a projected global launch of $900 million to $950 million, if not more.
Avengers: Endgame is directed by the Russo brothers, who shot the movie back‑to‑back with last year's Infinity War.
The nostalgia factor is running hot. Not only is Endgame a direct sequel to Infinity War, it's the culmination of the previous 21 titles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a blockbuster series of films that commenced with Iron Man in 2008.
Avengers: End Game is currently screening in cinemas around the country.
