Avengers: Endgame Encore tops box office with successful re-release
The re-release of ‘Avengers: Endgame Encore’ has returned to the top of the North American box office, earning approximately $26 million domestically and $60 million internationally during its opening weekend. This victory lap by Marvel Studios serves as a promotional lead-up to the upcoming ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ scheduled for release in December 2026.
The ‘Encore’ edition includes several minutes of new footage, such as an extended end-credits sequence featuring Loki and scenes involving the TVA, which directors Anthony and Joe Russo noted are vital for connecting the narrative to the Multiverse conflicts in ‘Doomsday.’ The film’s global cumulative earnings have now reached approximately $2.885 billion, placing it within striking distance of ‘Avatar’ for the all-time highest-grossing film title.
In other box office news, the reboot of ‘Resident Evil’ secured second place with $23.3 million in its second weekend. Other notable performers include ‘Heart of the Beast’ and ‘Primetime,’ which competed for the third position. In markets like Mexico, the high demand for Marvel content led to temporary server saturations on ticketing platforms during pre-sales.
