Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame is knock, knock, knocking on Avatar‘s door and over Memorial Day weekend took another step in the right direction as it comes to cross the $800 million mark at the box office. Avengers: Endgame currently sits at $2.677 billion, just under $111 million from passing Avatar as the number one grossing movie in the world.
Disney’s live-action Aladdin movie proved unaffected by the blue Genie (Will Smith) backlash and is launching to over $105 million, topping Disney’s previous best three day opening with Solo: A Star Wars Story. Aladdin was estimated to bring in an optimistic $86 million so the results have surely floored Disney since it’s made over half its budget back on opening weekend.
Either way, with the success of Aladdin and the continuing success of Avengers: Endgame, it looks like Disney’s dominance at the box office will keep on going as we lead up to the release of its second live-action film of the year in a retelling of The Lion King.
