Avengers: Endgame Encore is one of the much-awaited re-releases of this year, and its advance bookings are going gaga in some parts. Avengers: Endgame was directed by the Russo brothers, and it pushed their Marvel box-office total closer to a major milestone. They have had two chances in a year to surpass this mega milestone in their global total for the MCU movies. But we will now be focusing on Avengers: Endgame Encore to see whether it can help Joe and Anthony Russo achieve this glorious feat before Avengers: Doomsday. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The Russo brothers joined the MCU with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which is widely regarded as one of the finest Marvel movies. They have also directed Captain America: Civil War, followed by Infinity War and Endgame. For the unversed, all of them, except The Winter Soldier, have crossed the $1 billion milestone at the worldwide box office.

How much have the Russo brothers’ MCU movies earned worldwide?

According to the data available on Box Office Mojo, the global total for the Russo Brothers across these four MCU movies is approximately $6.7 billion. The biggest contributions came from Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War. For Endgame collected $2.79 billion worldwide, and Infinity War raked in $2.05 billion. Besides James Cameron, the Russo brothers are the only filmmakers to helm two separate movies that each surpassed $2 billion worldwide.

Can Avengers: Endgame Encore help them cross $7 billion worldwide?

Avengers: Endgame Encore will hit cinemas next week, and it is already generating a lot of hype with its advance bookings. Since it will also feature special footage from Avengers: Doomsday, it is expected to earn impressive box-office numbers. However, it will not be enough to push the Russo brothers’ MCU global total past the $7 billion milestone.

Avengers: Endgame Encore will have to earn more than $300 million to take the director duo’s MCU total past the $7 billion milestone. But it will be easily achieved once Avengers: Doomsday releases in December this year. The Marvel movie will also have a chance to reclaim its #1 spot on the all-time global grossers list by beating Avatar again, and it will be released on September 25.
