‘Avengers: Endgame’ Crosses $2 Billion Worldwide In Record Time; Passes ‘Titanic’

Avengers: Endgame has officially passed the $2 billion mark at the worldwide box office in its second weekend.

After its stunning opening of $1.2 billion, the fourth Avengers film continued to crush this weekend, bringing its domestic total past the $600 million milestone to a total of $620 million. While its earned another $1.56 billion internationally.

This makes the Marvel epic the fastest film to cross the $2 billion milestone. Not only that but Avengers: Endgame will actually become the second highest-grossing film of all time at the worldwide box office today, besting the box office takes of Jurassic World ($1.67B) and its predecessor, Avengers: Infinity War ($2.04B), as well as Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.06B) and even Titanic ($2.18B). Whether or not the film will eventually pass Avatar ($2.78B) to become the highest-grossing film of all time still remains in question.

Avengers: Endgame serves as both a follow up to Avengers: Infinity War as well as the conclusion to the 22 films that came before Marvel officially ends Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Spider-Man: Far From Home in July.

Here is the plot synopsis for Avengers: Endgame:
