Social Research On “Avengers: Endgame”

In the opening weekend of “Avengers: Endgame,” the highly anticipated film grossed $1.2 billion worldwide. It had the largest worldwide opening ever recorded, reaching the $1 billion mark quicker than any film in history.

Social research reveals that the epic finale of the first decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe had a clever approach to marketing the film.
