The final chapter of the Infinity Saga was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The film cost $400 million to make and had an unprecedented opening weekend of $1.2 billion, and would eventually go on to gross $2.8 billion. It briefly became the highest-grossing film of all time until the 10th anniversary re-release of James Cameron’s Avatar pushed it to the 2nd highest grossing film of all time.
The final studio net profit is estimated at $890 million.
The box office run was so legendary, it has its’ own Wikipedia article!
I saw Endgame on opening night with my friend. The entire theater was packed. The way people were cheering, you’d think it was the Super Bowl.
It was the best moviegoing experience of my life, and I highly doubt anything will top Endgame in my lifetime.
You can recreate the experience here.
Sometimes I go back and watch an audience reaction to the end battle, the whole Avengers Assemble thing. There’s just nothing like it. Say what you will about the movie, but it was an experience to be there in the cinema.
I watched it in imax opening night and the energy in that room was incredible.
With all the tripe released between then and now, it feels like well over a decade ago.
