"Avengers: Endgame" shattered box-office records with $350 million domestically and $1.2 billion worldwide over the weekend, despite a 3-hour runtime.

"Endgame" is the culmination of over 10 years of world building, and a follow-up to last year's "Avengers: Infinity War," which ended on a massive cliffhanger — so fans weren't phased by the length of the movie, which is the longest in the MCU.
