When
Avengers: Endgame tickets went on sale this morning, the movie ended up
selling three times more tickets in the first hour of pre-sales than
Avengers: Infinity War did around this time last year, crashing several websites in the process. Now, reports are coming in that the Marvel Studios epic has set an even more impressive record.
According to
Fandango,
Endgame has shattered the best first day U.S. presales record previously held by
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - and it did it in just 6 hours.
This is not entirety surprising when you take into account that the
Infinity War follow-up is arguably (and really, who'd argue?) the most highly-anticipated superhero movie of all time, and that unprecedented $800 million opening weekend is looking more and more like a strong possibility.
Directors Joe and Anthony Russo responded to the update via Twitter.
Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26. Did you manage to secure your seats?
