The re‑release, which opened on September 25, has pushed the film’s North American total to $886.2 million, leaving under $5 million to the $900 million mark.
The Encore version of Avengers: Endgame hit Indian screens on September 25 and, in just four days, has added $27.8 million to its global tally. That lift has taken the film’s worldwide gross to $2.88 billion and its North American earnings to $886.2 million – a whisker away from the $900 million club.
Milestone Countdown
According to Box Office Mojo, the re‑release earned $1.7 million on its first Monday in the United States. The figure represents a steep 72 percent dip from Sunday, and it trails the Monday re‑release earnings of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith ($2.4 million) and The Lion King ($2.3 million). Still, the cumulative $27.8 million from the first four days has nudged the domestic total to within five million of the historic $900 million threshold.
How It Got Here
When Endgame first thundered into theatres back in 2019, it smashed opening‑weekend records and became the biggest Marvel film ever in North America. That crown was later taken by Spider‑Man: Brand New Day earlier this year, but Endgame’s domestic haul remains massive. The new Encore cut is the latest push, and it’s doing more than just padding the numbers – it’s threatening to dethrone James Cameron’s Avatar as the all‑time worldwide leader.
Global Implications
The $2.88 billion worldwide figure puts Endgame within striking distance of Avatar’s $2.92 billion mark. If the Encore run continues to draw crowds over the coming weeks, the MCU juggernaut could finally overtake the long‑standing record. Trade watchers note that the film’s overseas legs are already strong, with the re‑release pulling $87.5 million globally so far.
Why It Matters
Crossing $900 million in the United States would make Endgame only the third Hollywood film to do so, joining the elite company of Avatar and Titanic. That achievement would cement the MCU’s dominance in the box‑office hierarchy and give Marvel another benchmark to celebrate.
What’s Next?
With under $5 million left to reach the milestone, the next weekend’s performance will be crucial. Analysts expect a modest bump from weekend‑goers who missed the original run, plus die‑hard fans eager to relive the climax on the big screen. If the film can hold its own against new releases, the $900 million mark could be within reach before the end of the month.
The Encore strategy shows no sign of slowing, and every additional million nudges Endgame closer to rewriting history.
