‘Avengers: Endgame’ retakes box office crown; Robert Pattinson drives sales for ‘Primetime’
New York (AP) — After seven years as the second-highest grossing film ever, "Avengers: Endgame" reclaimed the top spot at the box office, serving as a victory lap for Marvel and a promotional teaser for the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday." The film's rerelease generated $26 million domestically over the weekend and an additional $60 million internationally, according to studio estimates.
Out of all rereleases, only "Star Wars: A New Hope" ($35.9 million) and "The Lion King" ($30.2 million) managed to open higher than "Endgame" in domestic cinemas. Marvel Studios' "Endgame: Encore" emerged as the biggest champion of the crowded weekend, outpacing three well-reviewed new releases like A24's "Primetime" starring Robert Pattinson, Paramount Pictures' "Heart of the Beast" with Brad Pitt, and Universal Pictures' "Forgotten Island."
