Avengers: Endgame Encore launched with impressive ticket sales in China, though it fell just short of the opening weekend achieved by the 2021 re-release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Despite experiencing a steep drop on Sunday relative to Saturday in China, the movie remains on pace to overtake Zootopia 2’s lifetime gross. Its record-breaking collection in China will provide an additional boost.
Furthermore, the movie debuted at the top spot at the North American box office and is trending globally once again. The Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster made box office history upon its initial release and is poised to do so again. This re-release enables the feature to reach new global box office milestones. Driven by strong nostalgia, audiences are returning to the big screen to see Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal of Black Panther once more, a character deeply cherished by fans whose passing left many heartbroken.

Box office analysts report that Avengers: Endgame Encore secured the #1 position in China upon its debut. The three-day re-release opening weekend brought in an estimated $13.4 million at the Chinese box office. This sum incorporates $2.2 million earned on Sunday, despite a nearly 48% decline from Saturday’s figures. Additionally, the film marked one of the strongest post-pandemic opening weekends for a comic book adaptation.

Avengers: Endgame Encore also secured the third-largest re-release opening weekend for any Hollywood title in China. It narrowly missed surpassing the $13.7 million re-release debut generated by Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Consequently, it sits behind Avatar’s $21.2 million and the Harry Potter re-release. The feature has already locked in $185k in pre-sales for Monday, scheduled across more than 62k screenings.
