The highly anticipated re-release of "Avengers: Endgame" made a strong debut at the box office on Thursday, generating $3.8 million in ticket sales. The film, serving as the all-time box office record holder, is set to earn between $25-28 million this weekend. Should strong walk-ups continue, "Endgame Encore" could surpass the 2011 3D reissue of "The Lion King" to claim the title of the highest weekend opening for a re-release, breaking the record set in 2011.
Newcomers to the theater scene included "Primetime," directed by A24 and starring Robert Pattinson in a role reminiscent of Chris Hansen. The film earned $2.8 million from Thursday preview screenings, with projections for an opening weekend of approximately $20 million. Another release, "Heart of the Beast" from Paramount, starring Brad Pitt, garnered $2 million from previews and is expected to open in the high teens.
Finally, "Forgotten Island," an original animated family film from Universal/DreamWorks, brought in $1.5 million from previews and is projected for a $15-17 million opening weekend, which would be a low point for DreamWorks Animation despite its strong reviews, holding a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score.
