3. Star Wars: The Force Awakens

  • Title: Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens
  • Director: J.J. Abrams
  • Franchise: Star Wars
  • Days: 12

2. Avengers: Infinity War

Avengers: Infinity War was a huge success and made one billion dollars in just 11 days.

  • Title: Avengers: Infinity War
  • Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
  • Franchise: Marvel, Avengers
  • Days: 11

1. Avengers: Endgame

In first place: in an unimaginable five days, Avengers: Endgame made its first billion dollars at the worldwide Box Office.

  • Title: Avengers: Endgame
  • Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
  • Franchise: Marvel, Avengers
  • Days: 5

The Record: Five days

The current world record for reaching a billion dollars is five days, and Avengers: Endgame already brought in a billion dollars during its premiere weekend (Wednesday to Sunday worldwide). The question is if that record will ever be broken. Will there ever be another film that ends on such a cliffhanger as Avengers: Infinity War did — and can attract that kind of audience again?

I doubt it, but I do certainly hope that more filmmakers try to produce the same culture hype as the Russo brothers did with these two films.
