New releases this week are pretty slim, but how could it be any different when you have the Marvel behemoth "Avengers: Endgame" exploding into theaters. The 22nd installment in the MCU, and a bookend to a generation of Marvel superheroes that originated 11 years ago, "Endgame" continues from where "Infinity War" left off and it looks like both critics and moviegoers got what they wanted out of it. A powerful, emotional and thrilling blockbuster that is poised for box-office records.
"Avengers: Endgame" is looking at a Friday debut of over $140 million, as the film has already grossed $60 million from Thursday night previews. The studio is expecting a $300 million three-day opening. Last year, "Infinity War" opened with $106.3 million in its first day, finished its first weekend with $257.6 million, and went on to gross $678.8 million in its entire domestic run. Not to mention a whopping $2 billion worldwide total.
New limited releases this week include the modern Western "Little Woods" starring Lily James and Tessa Thompson, and the documentary "Carmine Street Guitars".
