'Avengers: Endgame' is a billion-dollar box office smash
Top Talkers: The sequel to 'Avengers: Infinity War' becomes the first film to pass $1 billion globally on its opening weekend, raking in an estimated $350 million in the U.S. and Canada alone.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige announced to journos at a recent "Spider-Man: Far From Home" junket that Disney is putting "Avengers: Endgame" back in theaters on June 28 with a cut that has a new post-credits scene, a tribute and a few surprises. Feige was specific that the new edition of the Russo Brothers-directed $2.74 billion behemoth isn’t an extended cut. The new version of Endgame opens days before MCU’s team-up with Sony, "Spider-Man: Far From Home" on July 2.
