  • "Avengers: Endgame" is expected to shatter box-office records when it opens this weekend.
  • We ranked the other 21 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies by how much they made worldwide.

"Avengers: Endgame" is approaching, and it's expected to break box-office records. In fact, it already has.

The movie is the biggest seller in pre-sale tickets ever for movie-ticket service Fandango, beating the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" first-day and first-week records. It's also the biggest pre-sale movie of all time for AMC Theatres, which is opening 17 theaters in the US for 72 hours straight this weekend to accommodate demand.

But "Endgame" is the 22nd movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there have been some other huge box-office hits in those prior 21 movies and 11 years.

"Captain Marvel," which opened in theaters last month, flew past $1 billion worldwide and $400 million domestically. "Infinity War" broke the opening-weekend box-office record with $258 million, which "Endgame" is poised to break again, and grossed more than $2 billion globally.
