    Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame 

    Breaks Opening Day Records     in Philippine Box Office


     

    Much like how Thanos snapped his fingers to wipe out half of the population of the entire universe in an instant, the much-awaited release of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame obliterated Philippine box-office records on its opening day.

     

    Bringing a decade’s worth of action and storytelling to an epic conclusion, Avengers: Endgame smashed local opening day box office records as it opened with P205,676,345 (US$ 3,880,685) in 970 screens, with select cinemas starting at 6:01am and some holding 24-hour screenings.

     

    The fourth film in the Avengers franchise and the 22nd film in the grand Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Avengers: Endgame broke the opening day record of 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, making it the biggest opening of a Marvel film in Philippine cinemas to date.

     

    Weeks prior to the opening day, local malls have already started selling tickets for Avengers: Endgame and Filipino Marvel superfans showed their love and support for the Infinity saga movie as opening day tickets were almost immediately sold out.

     

    Avengers: Endgame is now showing in Philippine cinemas nationwide. Join the conversations online at #AvengersEndgame and #MarvelPH.
