Where it turns up
Friday, April 28, 2023 Fourth weekend of April 2023
In the note
As far as 2019, Avengers Endgame opened the last week in April at $357 million, so, yeah, we’ll be a little behind that.
Friday, May 5, 2023 First weekend of May 2023
In the note
In both cases, there was a Disney/Marvel grossing about $80 million more than Guardians 3 is going to do this weekend (Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness in 2022 and Avengers: Endgame’s 2nd weekend in 2019), so in the YTD total, we’ll give a little back this weekend.

Clearly the best example is Avengers: Endgame, and by dumping the whole A list of characters into the same movie, they have the highest opening of all time.
Friday, March 8, 2024 Second weekend of March 2024
In the note
Avengers: Endgame wouldn’t have done $357 million opening weekend if Marvel had stubbed their toe on some of the films that set it up, and instead it was their outlier ability to deliver consistent audience satisfaction that made that record breaking weekend possible.
Friday, July 26, 2024 Fourth weekend of July 2024
In the note
That crescendoed to the insane (and still record holding) $357 million 3 day of Avengers: Endgame with the whole gang dumped into one movie.
