The return of Avengers: Endgame in theaters may sound a little odd as the film is still in theaters, though it’s at a reduced screen number compared to when it launched for obvious reasons. But you can’t really blame Marvel for this as the film is just $40 million away from breaking the worldwide record by Avatar. That’s it, just $40 million. While it might eke it out a little bit by the time it wraps up full, Marvel Studios is instead bringing out a “new version” of the film that now has some additional details. Set for a June 28th, 2019 arrival, it’ll come with seven minutes of new footage and will include a tribute to Stan Lee. I’m surprised that it didn’t use the tribute logo from Captain Marvel, to be honest.
All of this will easily get it to cross the number it needs to take the top spot and then some, securing the film a pretty solid position that’ll be hard to top for some time to come.
