It might’ve been all about “Resident Evil” at the box office last week, but “Avengers: Endgame” is back on top — seven years later.

“Avengers: Endgame Encore” landed at No. 1 on Friday, making $11.2 million from 3,060 North American screens. By Sunday, the Marvel juggernaut should pull in around $26 million.

Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, the 2019 superhero film’s re-release comes ahead of the hotly anticipated “Avengers: Doomsday,” set to open in theaters December 18. At the time of its release, “Avengers: Endgame” became the second-highest-grossing movie in box office history, with $2.799 billion worldwide. (2009’s “Avatar” currently holds the record with a $2.9 billion worldwide gross).
