UK Box Office April 26th – 28th

Avengers: Endgame opened this weekend. This film is defiantly going to be the biggest of the year and possibly of all time. In its first week it reached over £14 million, which is quite unprecedented in the UK. Globally it has already broken 21 records, taking titles from the likes of Star Wars, pervious Avengers films and Jurassic World. A lot of the records are along the lines of most earned on a Thursday etc. some of the big ones are:

  • It held the heist percentage of movie market share that week with 90%.
  • Global 4DX format with $15 million, that’s double compared with the previous record holder.
  • Fastest to $350 million in three days. It took Star Wars: The Force Awakens 5 days to achieve this.
  • Global IMAX opening at $91.5 million.

This means that Disney have three films in the top ten UK box office, all of which have been at the number one spot at one time or another. And Captain Marvel has been in the top ten since I started keeping track of it, this suggests that Avengers: Endgame will also have a very long run in the cinema and therefore I have come to the conclusion that it will eventually take the number one highest grossing film of all-time record.
