Avengers: Endgame Smashes Record For First-Day Pre-Sales

To the surprise of few, Avengers: Endgame has destroyed the record for first-day pre-sales. Fandango has announced that the game beat the record set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. What’s more, the film broke Force Awakens’ record in just six hours.

“Avengers: Endgame sales have exceeded all expectations and surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the previous record-holder, to become Fandango’s top-selling title in its first 24 hours of sales, and it accomplished that feat in only 6 hours,” Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis points out. “We’ve never seen anything like this – it’s truly a groundbreaking accomplishment – as fans simply cannot wait to see how this epic saga comes to a close.”

Avengers: Endgame opens on April 26th and is expected by many to top Avengers: Infinity War’s all-time record domestic opening weekend of $257.7 million.
