'Avengers: Endgame' smashes Thursday night preview record with $60 million haul

"Avengers: Endgame" has shattered another record.

The 22nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe hauled in a whopping $60 million from Thursday night previews in the U.S., the highest preview gross ever.

The previous record holder was "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," another Disney film, with $57 million.

Internationally, "Endgame" has earned $305 million in its first two days.

The hotly anticipated film opens Friday in North America and is expected to top a number of box office records as well as make a run for one of the highest-grossing film slots. Fandango reported this week that 8,000 showings on the online ticketing site had been sold out.

Current industry predictions have the film earning between $260 million and $285 million in the U.S. during its debut. "Endgame" will have the highest opening weekend in U.S. history if it cracks $257.6 million, the current record held by "Avengers: Infinity War."

Globally, analysts predict an opening ranging between $750 million and $950 million. "Endgame" will likely be the fastest film to hit the $1 billion mark.
