After a much publicised and hyped re-release, Avengers Endgame made 7.8 million (Rs 537 crore) this weekend, which still puts it 26 million dollars behind the all-time box office record of James Cameron's Avatar. Endgame had made 5.5 million dollars in the US and 2.3 abroad, bringing its total to 2.76 billion (Rs 19025 crore). However, Avatar remains ahead with 2.78 billion.

The film had been released by Disney again, to break Avatar's record. The re-release had a special message from director Anthony Russo, a teaser for Spider-Man: Far From Home, a Stan Lee tribute and a scene with the Hulk. Fans are quite disappointed and have said that the footage is not worth the trouble as all the material would be available on DVD and BluRay.

According to Forbes, the number one position is out of reach for Endgame.

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers Endgame, starring Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo among others is the culmination of a decade worth of storytelling. The film is the 22nd in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and tells the story of how the surviving heroes fight to the death and reverse the effects of Thanos's deadly snap.
