Avengers Endgame Box Office Rerelease Tops Crowded Weekend With $86M Global

Avengers: Endgame returned to theaters in dominant fashion, with Disney's Avengers Endgame: Encore rerelease taking the top spot at the North American box office. The Hollywood Reporter said Marvel Studios' 2019 blockbuster grossed $26 million from 3,060 North American screens, enough to lead a crowded frame that also featured Resident Evil, Brad Pitt's Heart of the Beast, Robert Pattinson's Primetime and DreamWorks Animation's Forgotten Island.

The rerelease was even bigger internationally. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Endgame added $60 million overseas for an $86 million global haul, making Avengers Endgame: Encore the second-biggest worldwide theatrical rerelease ever, behind only the 2012 Titanic 3D rerelease. About 52 percent of the movie's domestic total came from Infinity Vision screens, the newly launched certification for premium large-format theaters.

Avengers Endgame box office rerelease delivers an $86 million global weekend

The scale of the Avengers Endgame box office rerelease is notable because it returned a seven-year-old blockbuster to the top of the domestic chart. The Hollywood Reporter said Avengers Endgame: Encore earned $26 million in North America and another $60 million internationally, producing an $86 million worldwide weekend.

That global result placed the rerelease behind only Titanic 3D among worldwide rereleases. The premium-format component was also substantial: around 52 percent of Endgame's domestic weekend came from Infinity Vision screens, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Disney added more than the original movie to the rerelease package. The Hollywood Reporter said Avengers Endgame: Encore includes unreleased footage and an exclusive look at Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled for release on December 18. That material gave audiences an additional attraction beyond returning to the 2019 film itself.

How the rerelease compares with Endgame's original theatrical run

Avengers: Endgame was already one of the biggest theatrical releases in history before its latest return. The Hollywood Reporter said the Joe and Anthony Russo-directed movie opened in April 2019 with a record-setting $1.2 billion worldwide opening weekend.

Its initial run eventually finished with $2.7 billion globally, placing it at number two on the all-time worldwide box office chart. The new Encore performance does not approach those original-run numbers, but the rerelease's $86 million global weekend shows the scale of continued theatrical demand for the Marvel title.

The overall domestic marketplace also benefited from the packed weekend. The Hollywood Reporter put the total North American frame at around $122.3 million, up 10.6 percent from the previous weekend and 58.5 percent from the same weekend one year earlier.

Resident Evil holds second place in its second weekend

Sony's Resident Evil landed in second place with about $23.3 million domestically in its second weekend, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The reboot of the video game property stars Austin Abrams and is directed by Zach Cregger.

The movie was set to decline around 60 percent from its previous frame, bringing its North American total to $103.4 million. Internationally, Resident Evil added another $27 million during the weekend.

Its second-place finish put it just behind Endgame despite the Marvel rerelease's return to thousands of screens. Resident Evil's domestic cumulative total also crossed the $100 million mark during the frame, giving Sony another milestone even as Endgame took the weekend crown.

Brad Pitt and Robert Pattinson compete for the next two spots

Paramount Pictures' Heart of the Beast opened in third with around $20 million domestically from 3,400 North American locations, The Hollywood Reporter said. The David Ayer film stars Brad Pitt as a Special Forces officer stranded in the wilderness with his combat dog.

Heart of the Beast added $30.1 million internationally. The film carries an $82 million budget, earned an A-minus CinemaScore and held an 87 score from Rotten Tomatoes reviewers. The Hollywood Reporter critic Frank Scheck wrote that the film "packs a surprising emotional punch".

A24's Primetime followed closely with roughly $19.1 million from 2,800 North American theaters. Robert Pattinson stars as journalist Chris Hansen in the Lance Oppenheim film, alongside Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo and Phoebe Bridgers.

The Hollywood Reporter said Primetime earned a B CinemaScore and attracted a particularly young audience, with around 69 percent of moviegoers under 30. The film has a $15 million production budget and an 87 percent Rotten Tomatoes critic approval rating. Chief film critic David Rooney described it as a "peak Sleaze TV rerun, for whoever wants it".

Forgotten Island rounds out the top five

DreamWorks Animation's Forgotten Island, released by Universal Pictures, completed the top five with $12.8 million domestically. The Hollywood Reporter said the film earned an A CinemaScore and carried an $80 million budget.

Forgotten Island also held a 94 percent critic approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The animated feature includes voice performances from H.E.R., Liza Soberano and Dave Franco and follows two friends who are magically transported to an island rooted in Philippine mythology. Scheck called it "an exciting original" in his review for The Hollywood Reporter.

Specialty releases and Universal's $5 billion milestone

Outside the top five, the Mahershala Ali-led Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother earned $900,000 for Orion Pictures from six locations in New York and Los Angeles, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That worked out to an average of $33,100 per screen. Bassam Tariq's film centers on Ali as a religious hitman grappling with his wife's death.

The weekend also followed a major studio milestone. The Hollywood Reporter said Universal Pictures became the first studio to pass $5 billion at the 2026 global box office during the week, helped by The Odyssey, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Michael. It marked Universal's first time reaching that benchmark since 2017.

What happens next at the box office

The next weekend will bring another round of major studio releases into the marketplace. The Hollywood Reporter said Warner Bros. will open Digger, led by Tom Cruise, while Amazon MGM Studios will release Verity, starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson.

For now, Avengers Endgame: Encore sits at the top after turning a rerelease into the weekend's biggest domestic draw. Its $26 million North American result, $60 million international haul and $86 million worldwide total gave Marvel and Disney a sizable return from a film that originally opened in 2019 and finished its first theatrical run with $2.7 billion globally.
