Avengers: Endgame is back on top at the box office 7 years later

Marvel's Avengers: Endgame Encore returned to theaters this weekend, securing the top spot at the box office despite having only a few minutes of new footage. The re-release debuted with an impressive $26 million in domestic sales and an additional $60 million internationally. The film's success suggests that the upcoming Marvel movie, Avengers: Doomsday, set to release in December, is likely to be well-received.

Resident Evil held the second position, with the Zach Cregger-directed film adding $23 million to its domestic total, crossing the $100 million mark and nearing $200 million worldwide. The Brad Pitt-led thriller, Heart Of The Beast, followed, bringing in $20 million. Primetime and Primetime rounded out the top five, with the latter earning about $19.2 million. The top ten list was compiled by Box Office Mojo.
