Disney and Marvel’s “Avengers: Endgame” has stormed into historic territory, earning $2.19 billion worldwide in less than two weeks to become the No. 2 film of all time, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday.
That exalted number, which includes the film’s estimated take of $145.8 million this three-day weekend in North America, pushes the superhero blockbuster past “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which netted $2.07 billion, and even “Titanic” ($2.18 billion).
Only “Avatar” ($2.79 billion) has done better. Yet “Avengers” hit its record total in just 11 days, taking in a stunning $575.8 million in China alone.
Hollywood analysts predict a long run for “Avengers,” which drew a rare 96 percent rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website and features a star-studded cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper and Josh Brolin.
Trailing “Avengers” by several light years, rival studios still managed to place new films in the next three box-office spots.
Sony’s psychological thriller “The Intruder” came in second, at $11 million. Michael Ealy and Meagan Good star as a young couple who buy a dream home in California’s Napa Valley unaware that its previous owner (Dennis Quaid) plans to take it back — at all costs.
In third was Lionsgate’s romantic comedy “Long Shot,” at $10 million. Seth Rogen plays Fred Flarsky, an out-of-work journalist who has a romantic interest in his former babysitter (Charlize Theron) who — now a candidate for the US presidency — might seem a bit out of his reach.
STX Films’ animated film “UglyDolls” placed fourth, at $8.5 million. The plot? A bunch of misfit dolls with pointy ears and bad teeth — residents of Uglyville — face a harsh world but finally discover their inner beauty. The voices of Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, Wanda Sykes and Janelle Monae are featured.
In fifth place, hanging strong in its ninth week out, was Disney’s “Captain Marvel,” at $4.3 million. Brie Larson stars as a former fighter pilot who gains superpowers.
Rounding out the weekend’s top 10 were:
“Breakthrough” ($3.9 million)
“The Curse of La Llorona” ($3.5 million)
“Shazam!” ($2.5 million)
“Little” ($1.5 million)
“Dumbo” ($1.4 million)

Thanks designed for sharing such a nice thinking, piece of writing
is fastidious, thats why i have read it fully
I have read so many posts about the blogger lovers except this article
is in fact a good piece of writing, keep
it up.
Hello there! I could have sworn I’ve been to your blog
before but after browsing through some of the
articles I realized it’s new to me. Regardless, I’m definitely pleased I found it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back frequently!
Its like you read my thoughts! You appear to understand so much approximately this, such as you wrote
the e book in it or something. I think that you just can do with some % to drive the message house a bit,
however other than that, that is great blog.
A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.
I think that everything posted was very reasonable.
But, what about this? suppose you added a little content?
I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your
blog, however suppose you added a headline that makes people want more?
I mean Avengers End Game (2.19 bn) blasts past Titanic (2.18 bn) to become all time
number 2 with Avatar (2.79 bn) at No. 1 spot.
– BRATS is kinda boring. You could look at Yahoo’s home
page and note how they write news titles to grab viewers interested.
You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people interested about everything’ve written.
Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little
bit more interesting.
Superb website you have here but I was wanting to know
if you knew of any user discussion forums that
