The Worlds of DC might have just had their first $1 billion hit with Aquaman, but that's a drop in the ocean compared to what's expected from Avengers: Endgame.

Last year, Avengers: Infinity War grossed a huge $2.05bn—the highest-grossing MCU offering to date—and cracked the all-time top five, leaving it looking like this:

Avatar - $2,787,965,087

Titanic - $2,187,463,944

Star Wars: The Force Awakens - $2,068,223,624

Avengers: Infinity War - $2,045,422,411

Jurassic World - $1,671,713,208

Avengers: Infinity War ended on a bombshell for Marvel fans everywhere, even if they could all assure themselves that Avengers: Endgame was on the way. But that has only heightened the fevered anticipation for the movie as the question becomes HOW they will bring back our fallen heroes.

So could all that build-up lead to Avengers: Endgame breaking Avatar's incredible record as the biggest movie of all time? Let's take it one record at a time.

"Avengers: Endgame certainly has some huge box-office shoes to fill with the previous three Avengers films setting new benchmarks for what is possible in terms of opening weekend performance," Paul​ Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore, tells Digital Spy.

The Avengers (aka Avengers Assemble in the UK) was the first movie in history to take more than $200 million in its opening weekend in the US, while Avengers: Infinity War currently holds the record for biggest worldwide opening of all time at a whopping $640.5m.

Avengers: Endgame is opening pretty much everywhere globally around April 26, so that record is "potentially within its grasp", according to Dergarabedian. But will that continue and translate to an all-time record come the end of Avengers: Endgame's theatrical run?
