Answer in brief
Seven years after the original release, a new theatrical edition of Endgame led the weekend with an estimated $26 million domestically and $60 million overseas.
The return and the estimate
Marvel Studios brought Avengers Endgame: Encore to theaters on 25 September. On Sunday, Disney estimated a $26 million domestic opening and $60 million internationally, or $86 million worldwide. AP reported that the rerelease led the North American weekend. Those figures were studio estimates at this article's 27 September cutoff, not a promise of final box-office accounting. The basic news is that a familiar 2019 film outperformed the week's new releases on its return.
Why a rerelease found an audience
Disney's fall schedule positioned the edition before the planned December arrival of Avengers: Doomsday and described new material previewing that film. The strategy invites viewers to revisit an established story while making the next one visible. That observation explains the positioning; it does not prove which motive drove each ticket purchase or that every future rerelease will achieve similar numbers.
The number needs context
Disney's global figure combines two different markets: an estimated $26 million from domestic theaters and $60 million from international ones. It is easy to misread $86 million as a North American total; it is not. Disney also says the wider lifetime gross of the original film rose to about $2.885 billion after the opening. That cumulative figure belongs to the film's long history, while the $86 million refers only to this encore weekend estimate.
What remains open
The coming weeks will show whether attendance lasts beyond the event launch and whether reported grosses change when final receipts replace estimates. No box-office opening alone can establish audience satisfaction or the quality of the next film. The proposed cover deliberately uses an empty theater and an anonymous ticket rather than copyrighted characters or a fabricated scene from the screening. Readers should use Disney's figures and AP's reporting for the commercial facts.
