Seems nothing is able to stop Avengers: Endgame at this point. It has now broken the international record of becoming China’s top foreign title of all time. It accomplished this by breaking the $500 billion barriers within just a little over a week. This title was held by The Fate of the Furious and it has now positioned itself as the sixth-highest-grossing film in the country. The astonishing feat is that the film has yet to drop below the 85% market share. It even managed to sit above 95% during its first five days in cinemas. The former titleholder never managed to surpass the 93% mark as pointed out by Variety. The film has currently broken 22 Chinese records, which includes the following:
- Highest pre-sales with $92 million
- Most midnight screenings with $28 million
- Highest single-day sales with $82 million
- Most sold tickets in a single week at $82 million
- Fastest film to cross ¥2 billion
The currently highest earning film in China is The Wandering Earth, the locally produced film earned $691 million. It seems unlikely that the film will pass this milestone but the numbers are pointing to Avengers: Endgame snagging the third-highest earning with around $625 million. This is around $100 million more than what early estimates expected from the film. The latest Avengers film has been getting a lot of attention worldwide and this will certainly help it to surpass Avatar. This is some great news as we enter the next weekend before the blockbuster faces its competition.
