5 Films That Could Break Avengers: Endgame's Box Office Record

5. Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

The least likely to dethrone Endgame on this list is Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker. Rise Of Skywalker may be dismissed as a potential box office titan due to the mixed audience reception of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and the outright box office bomb that was Solo: A Star Wars Story.

However, it should be noted that one box office record Endgame is far from breaking belongs to one of Rise Of Skywalker’s predecessors Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the form of domestic (U.S.) box office. Avengers Endgame may be in second place for this record, but it is a startling $80 million behind.

Also working in Rise Of Skywalker's favour is that, similarly to Endgame, Rise Of Skywalker is an end point of sorts to its franchise or at least for now and has the backing of a massive worldwide fandom.

Making the odds of beating Endgame's record worse for Rise Of Skywalker is the mixed reception to The Last Jedi potentially putting fans off showing up for the sequel. Also working against Rise Of Skywalker is the unpopularity of Star Wars in key Asian markets such as China, for example The Force Awakens could only manage $124 million in China compared to Endgame's $614 million.
