Could Avengers: Endgame crack $1 billion globally on its opening weekend? That is looking more and more likely after the record-shattering opening night in just its domestic Thursday night previews. According to Deadline, the climactic Marvel Cinematic Universe movie (Hulk-)smashed the opening night record set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which opened to $119 million in 2015. As of Friday mid-day, Avengers: Endgame has torn past those records with a whopping $140 million-$150 million opening day.

Avengers: Endgame is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Paul Rudd, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, Danai Gurira, Bradley Cooper, and Josh Brolin.Avengers: Endgame is currently playing in theaters now.
