Globally, Avengers: Endgame has earned $1.05 billion and is expected to cross the $2 billion mark this weekend. On Tuesday, the movie eclipsed the lifetime earnings of Black Panther ($1.347 billion) and Avengers: Age Of Ultron ($1.405 billion) to emerge as the eighth highest grossing global film of all time.

It also went past the records of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($961 million), Jurassic World ($1.019 billion), The Fate Of The Furious ($1.010 billion) to emerge as the sixth highest earner globally. It is also expected to outdo Titanic’s lifetime collections but the world is watching closely whether it can go beyond Avatar to become the highest earner ever.

India among top markets fuelling Avengers: Endgame’s Box Office growth

According to the Deadline report, India ranked among the top five markets for the film on Tuesday. The report also stated the Tuesday’s box office collection figures, which put China on top with $389.1 million earnings, with UK and Korea closely following with $64.7 million and $54.8 million collection. While the film collected $36.3 million in India, it earned $40.7 million in Mexico.

The movie has been breaking box office records ever since it released on April 26. Avengers Endgame is the highest Hollywood opener in India and also eclipsed the biggest opening weekend of Hindi movies ever. Following Bahubali 2 The Conclusion’s Rs 121 crore opening, Avengers Endgame is also the biggest opener ever in India.

The film became the biggest opener ever and fastest movie ever to reach $1 billion mark worldwide. The MCU movie hit the milestone in 5 days – it released in many countries on Wednesday – while Avengers: Infinity War took 11 days to reach $1 billion mark. It also became the highest earning movie in China with $330.5 million in five days.
