Avengers Endgame box office edges closer to Avatar record: Will Spider-Man give it BOOST?

After the first ever billion-dollar opening weekend, Avengers Endgame shot up the rankings of highest-grossing movies of all time. However, for the past few weeks, it has significantly slowed down, with Avatar still sitting on the top spot at $2.787 billion. As it stands, Avengers Endgame is only $38 million away from No 1, but it’s an uphill battle having earned just $1.895 million this last weekend. Nevertheless, it looks like Avengers Endgame will manage the record, thanks to a re-release and Spider-Man Far From Home.

The new version of Avengers Endgame will hit cinemas in the UK on Friday, June 28.

The extended cut features new post-credits footage, which is expected to be a deleted scene and tribute to Stan Lee.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige told Screen Rant: “Not an extended cut, but there will be a version going into theatres with a bit of a marketing push with a few new things at the end of the movie.

“If you stay and watch the movie, after the credits, there’ll be a deleted scene, a little tribute, and a few surprises. Which will be next weekend.”

In a new soundbite for Chinese press, Feige has further teased that Avengers Endgame wasn’t the conclusion to the Infinity Saga, but Spider-Man Far From Home is.

He said: “You’ve seen Avengers Endgame, but you haven’t seen it all yet. Spider-Man Far From Home…is the conclusion to the Infinity Saga.

“And what started with Iron Man 1, finally comes to fruition in Spider-Man Far From Home.”

Avengers Endgame is re-released in UK cinemas on June 28 and will be followed by Spider-Man Far From Home on July 2.
