Marvel's Avengers: Endgame Encore re-release earned $86 million globally in its opening weekend, including $26 million in North America and $60 million overseas, taking the No. 1 spot at the box office. The film, which originally grossed $2.8 billion in 2019, returned with new end-credits scenes and a sneak peek at the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. In India, the film collected Rs 22.45 crore over three days, according to Sacnilk. The Hindustan Times reported that the Sunday haul was higher than Christopher Nolan's Interstellar re-release in 2025. Other new releases trailed behind. Heart of the Beast, starring Brad Pitt, opened at $20 million domestically. Primetime, starring Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen, debuted with $19.2 million on a modest $15 million budget. Forgotten Island opened with a disappointing $12.8 million.
