Daily Box Office Report
Wednesday, May 1, 2019
By Daniel Garris
| Disney’s Avengers: Endgame continued to astonish on Wednesday with $25.252 million domestically and a massive $157.8 million internationally for a daily global take of $183.1 million. The film’s
international performance on Wednesday received a significant boost from the May Day holiday throughout parts of the world. To date, Avengers: Endgame has grossed $452.352 million domestically and $1.212 billion internationally for
a global total of $1.664 billion. That already makes Avengers: Endgame the 17th highest grossing film of all-time domestically, the fourth highest grossing film of all-time internationally and the sixth highest grossing film of
all-time globally. |
| Domestically, Avengers: Endgame held up very nicely on Wednesday, as the film was down just 23.7 percent from Tuesday. In comparison, last year’s Avengers: Infinity War fell 27.6 percent on its
first Wednesday to gross $16.967 million. Avengers: Endgame is running 40.1 percent ahead of the $322.831 million six-day haul of Avengers: Infinity War and 24.5 percent ahead of the $363.460 million six-day launch of
2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens (which was the previous highest grossing six-day record-holder until Avengers: Endgame broke that record yesterday). Given the film’s midweek holding power, strong critical reviews,
excellent word of mouth, repeat business and lackluster new competition this weekend, BoxOfficeReport is predicting a record-breaking second weekend gross of $168.0 million for Avengers: Endgame. |
| Thanks in part to the holiday, Avengers: Endgame grossed an estimated $70.4 million in China on Wednesday, which brings the film’s eight-day total to $459.4 million. The film is estimated to gross
$50.0 million in China on Thursday, which brings the film’s nine-day total to $509.4 million. Please note that Thursday’s estimate in China isn’t included in the earlier mentioned international total for the film. Additional
international totals by market for Avengers: Endgame through Wednesday include $68.2 million in the United Kingdom, $60.3 million in South Korea, $48.6 million in Mexico, $40.9 million in India, $40.4 million in Brazil,
$36.7 million in Australia, $35.8 million in Germany, $33.9 million in France, $24.6 million in Italy, $24.4 million in Japan, $24.1 million in the Philippines, $23.3 million in Indonesia, $19.3 million in Russia,
$19.1 million in Spain and $19.0 million in Thailand. |
