\"Avengers-<\/div>\n

After just 12 days in theaters worldwide, \u2018Avengers: Endgame\u2019 has surpassed the 21-year global box office record of $2.128 billion held by Titanic.<\/p>\n

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that according to box office reports, the Marvel flick has become the second-highest grossing film in the world, with an estimated $2.189 billion.<\/p>\n

This record was cemeneted by the $619.7 million it has grossed domestically, which also eclipsed the $600.8 million \u2018Titanic\u2019 grossed in its initial theatrical run after opening in December 1997.<\/p>\n

The historical-romantic epic \u2018Titanic\u2019 also grossed an additional $58.6 million in re-releases in 2012 and 2017 which was noted by box office sales records.<\/p>\n

Reports also show that \u2018Avengers\u2019 has rapidly become the one of the highest grossing films ever in China, with an astonishing $545.8 million since it opened there on April 24.<\/p>\n

The movie broke every possible box office record when it debuted with $1.22 billion worldwide, including $357 million domestically.<\/p>\n

The film has since eased off that blistering pace in the US and Canada, however, earning an estimated $145.8 million over its second weekend.<\/p>\n

This figures fell a little short and could not quite pass the $149.2 million second weekend record set by \u2018Star Wars: The Force Awakens\u2019 over the Christmas holiday in 2015.<\/p>\n

When factoring in ticket price inflation, Marvel\u2019s \u2018Avengers: Endgame\u2019 still has some ground to cover.<\/p>\n

On the Box Office Mojo\u2019s chart of inflation adjusted grosses, the best (if imperfect) measure of a film\u2019s overall popularity with domestic audiences, Endgame ranks as roughly the 42nd highest grossing film of all time.<\/p>\n

By comparison, when adjusting for inflation, Titanic grossed roughly $1.16 billion in theaters in the US and Canada in its initial release.<\/p>\n

Due to varying ticket price inflation rates and unreliable record keeping, it is virtually impossible to reasonably adjust for box office inflation worldwide.<\/p>\n

However, fans worldwide are hoping the movie breaks \u2018Avatar\u2019s box office records of $2.788 which it made from Dec. 2009 through Feb. 2010.<\/p>\n
