Avengers: Endgame earned an estimated $350 million during its opening weekend at the box office, easily shattering the previous record of $257.6 million set last year by Avengers: Infinity War.
It also set a record for the fastest to $1 billion worldwide, achieving that milestone in just five days, with its current global tally at $1.2 billion.
It has also set records for biggest opening day and single day gross ($156.7 million), theater average ($75,075), international opening weekend ($859 million) and more.

With this massive opening weekend in the books, Avengers: Endgame has a legitimate shot at becoming the highest-grossing film of all time, at both the domestic and worldwide box office.
The domestic record was set in 2015 by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with $936.6 million, but the worldwide record was set in 2009 by Avatar, with $2.787 billion.
With a record-breaking showing in its opening weekend, it's certainly possible that those records could fall by the time Avengers: Endgame has finished its theatrical run.
