Marvel re-releases 'Avengers: Endgame' on Sept 25, opposite Brad Pitt's 'Heart of the Beast.' Will the 2019 film out-gross the new one?
64% of users predicted YES — the community got this one right. 11 predictions cast.
"Avengers: Endgame," re-released in theaters as "Avengers: Endgame Encore" on September 25, 2026, out-grossed Brad Pitt's new film "Heart of the Beast" over the same opening weekend. The Marvel re-release took in $86 million globally, including $26 million in North America, while "Heart of the Beast" opened to $50.1 million worldwide, with $20 million domestically.
The Endgame re-release's global haul marked the second-highest worldwide rerelease total ever, trailing only 2012's "Titanic 3D." "Heart of the Beast," in which Pitt plays a Special Forces officer stranded in the wilderness with his combat dog, still performed respectably, earning an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes and an "A-" CinemaScore, but it could not match the built-in fan demand for a seven-year-old blockbuster returning to theaters ahead of the franchise's next chapter.
The community correctly anticipated this outcome, with 64% expecting Endgame to out-gross the new release. The result illustrated the growing box-office strategy of studios re-releasing beloved franchise films to fill release calendars and build anticipation, with Marvel's Endgame return outperforming not just Pitt's film but also Robert Pattinson's "Primetime," which opened the same weekend.
