Avengers: Endgame returned to the top of the North American box office this weekend, earning $26 million domestically and $60 million overseas. The re-release, marketed as "Endgame: Encore," includes new post-credit scenes teasing the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
Sony's Resident Evil held second place with $23.3 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to $103.5 million. The video game adaptation has grossed over $196 million globally in two weeks.
“As a marketing exercise, it's an effective way to build early word-of-mouth.”
Three new wide releases clustered tightly behind the leaders. Paramount's Heart of the Beast, starring Brad Pitt, debuted in third with $20 million. A24's Primetime, featuring Robert Pattinson, followed closely in fourth with $19.2 million.
Universal's animated Forgotten Island opened in fifth with $12.8 million, a figure industry analyst David A. Gross called weak for a major studio original. Gross expects stronger overseas performance to offset the slow start.
