Since its premiere at South by Southwest, 'Avengers: Endgame' has garnered mostly positive reviews and continues to dominate the global box office. The Marvel juggernaut has become a phenomenon, breaking numerous records in the process.

In North America, 'Avengers: Endgame' dipped 59% from its opening weekend, still managing to rake in $145 million at the domestic box office during its second weekend in theaters. This marks only the sixth time a film has surpassed $100 million in its second weekend. The movie's total domestic box office gross now stands at $619 million.

But it's not just North America where 'Avengers: Endgame' is breaking records. Overseas, the superhero blockbuster remains the number one film in all countries aside from Japan, with top foreign territories including China ($575 million), the United Kingdom ($89.9 million), and Korea ($82.1 million). This weekend, it added another $282.2 million from 55 international markets.

The movie's success can be attributed to repeat viewings from comic-book enthusiasts, as well as premium formats like Imax and 3D. In fact, Imax theaters have accounted for $170 million of tickets sold across the globe, while just under $1 billion has come from 3D screens. Only two films in history - 'Avatar' and 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' - have earned over a billion dollars from the 3D format.

In terms of its global box office performance, 'Avengers: Endgame' is now the second-biggest movie of all time with $2.188 billion worldwide. It took just 11 days for the film to reach this milestone, becoming the fastest film to gross $2 billion globally. In comparison, it took 'Avatar,' the previous record-holder, 47 days to achieve the same feat.

While other studios opened new movies at the domestic box office with mixed results, 'Avengers: Endgame' continues to be the de facto choice among moviegoers. As its run continues, it's clear that this Marvel epic will remain a dominant force in the world of cinema for some time to come.
