Avengers: Endgame Encore Dominates Box Office; Universal Crosses $5 Billion Global Milestone

The re-release of Marvel's "Avengers: Endgame Encore" has surged to the top of the box office, earning $11.2 million on Friday and projected to reach around $26 million by Sunday. This strong performance marks a significant return for the 2019 blockbuster, which previously held box office records.

Meanwhile, Universal Pictures has achieved a major milestone, becoming the first studio in 2026 to surpass $5 billion at the global box office. This achievement, the third time in the studio's history, is driven by successful films such as 'The Odyssey,' 'Super Mario Galaxy Movie,' and 'Michael,' which have collectively contributed $1.788 billion domestically and $3.218 billion internationally.
