Avengers: Endgame finally hit theaters over the weekend. While fans around the world flocked to theaters to see it, Marvel watched the box office numbers rise. Most experts expected the film to break records with its opening but even the highest estimates were smashed by the film’s $1.2 billion global opening. Not only did the film become the first ever with a $1 billion dollar opening but it basically rewrote the record books as far as opening weekends go. I know it sounds like a lot to keep track of but, don’t worry, Def Pen has got you covered (with some help from Box Office Mojo).
