Spider-Man Far From Home box office breaks THIS Avengers Endgame RECORD

On Tuesday, the follow-up to Avengers Endgame was released – a film that acts as something of an epilogue to the MCU Infinity Saga. And it turns out that Spider-Man Far From Home has broken an Avengers Endgame box office record already. When the Marvel epic released a few months ago, it made $25.3 million on its first Wednesday in US cinemas; a figure that has now been surpassed by Spider-Man Far From Home with $27 million. This new record is the highest midweek takings of any MCU movie to date.

While an impressive achievement, it’s worth pointing out that Spider-Man Far From Home released on a Tuesday, so its second day in cinemas was always going to be a big taking.

Whereas Avengers Endgame came out on a Friday, meaning its first Wednesday was six days after the film’s release.

And that’s well after the Marvel epic had already taken $1.2 billion in the biggest opening weekend of all time.

This is hardly surprising considering the huge hype and fear of spoilers attracting fans in their droves to sold-out screenings.

Meanwhile, it looks like Avengers Endgame could still be within a chance of dethroning Avatar as the highest-grossing movie of all time.

Last weekend, the Avengers Endgame re-release hit cinemas but only made around $7.5 million worldwide.

The Marvel epic was still $26.6 million short on Monday and is now just over $20.2 million from Avatar’s record.

Box office analysts may have called Avengers Endgame’s chances “impossible” at this stage, but there’s hope for Marvel fans yet.

This weekend the Avengers Endgame re-release gets its international release.

India, which has a huge Marvel fan base, is getting the extended version of the film in limited screens.

According to BookMyShow’s Ashish Saksena: “This week we are confident the fandom will take over, yet again!”

Avengers Endgame re-release and Spider-Man Far From Home are in cinemas now.
