Avengers: Endgame Encore Box Office: Re-Release Collection in the U.S. and Worldwide

𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 is back in cinemas, and seven years after its original theatrical release, Marvel's blockbuster is once again making headlines at the global box office.

Released as 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞, the 2026 re-release began its theatrical run on September 25, 2026, bringing the Marvel epic back to the big screen with additional material and renewed interest ahead of the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

The first available U.S. number came from Thursday preview screenings.

Avengers: Endgame Encore collected $3.8 million from Thursday previews in the U.S. and Canada. Industry projections heading into the weekend estimated an opening of approximately $25 million to $28 million.

That projected range is significant for a re-release because the movie is not a new theatrical production. It is a film that has already completed its original run and is returning to theaters years later.

The re-release has already generated strong early business in several markets. In the United States and Canada, the film collected $𝟑.𝟖 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬,
while early industry projections placed its opening weekend in the $𝟐𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧-$𝟐𝟖 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 range.

The international component represented roughly 69% of the movie's original worldwide earnings, while the U.S. and Canadian market accounted for roughly 31%.

The 2026 return is more than simply putting an old blockbuster back on cinema screens.

The re-release is arriving ahead of Marvel Studios' next major Avengers movie, Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December 18. The new theatrical presentation of Endgame gives fans an opportunity to revisit one of the most important chapters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe while also connecting the theatrical experience to the upcoming film.

The Encore version features changes to the presentation and additional material, including an end tag teasing Avengers: Doomsday. TheWrap also reported that the re-release features a new color balance and post-credit material.

That additional material provides a fresh reason for some fans to return to a film they may already have watched several times.

In India, Avengers: Endgame Encore opened to an estimated ₹7.25 crore net, equivalent to an estimated ₹𝟖.𝟔𝟖 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬

Before looking at the 2026 re-release, it is important to understand the scale of the original Avengers: Endgame phenomenon.

The film opened internationally in April 2019 and became one of the biggest theatrical releases in movie history. According to Box Office Mojo, the original release generated $858.37 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙐.𝙎. and Canada and approximately$1.941 𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 internationally.

The timing of the re-release is particularly important.

Avengers: Endgame originally served as the culmination of a decade-long storyline that began with the launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008. Its return to theaters in 2026 comes as Marvel prepares audiences for another major Avengers chapter.

The theatrical re-release can therefore work on two levels.

First, it gives longtime fans another opportunity to experience the film on a large screen.

Second, it introduces or reconnects newer audiences with the story before the next Avengers movie arrives.

The additional material also gives fans an incentive beyond simple nostalgia.
