Avengers: Endgame released worldwide in theatres on this weekend and broke the worldwide record for the first weekend with a massive 1.2 billion.

Its predecessor, Avengers: Infinity War also set a new world record of touching 1 billion in 11 days.

Alan Horn, who is the chairman of Walt Disney stated in a press release:
Kevin Feige and the Marvel Studios team have continued to challenge notions of what is possible at the movie theatre both in terms of storytelling and at the box office. Though Endgame is far from an end for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these first 22 films constitute a sprawling achievement, and this weekend’s monumental success is a testament to the world they’ve envisioned, the talent involved, and their collective passion, matched by the irrepressible enthusiasm of fans around the world.
