‘Avengers: Endgame’ Trailer Breaks Record With 289 Million Views in 24 Hours

The just-released trailer for “Avengers: Endgame” earned more 289 million views across streaming platforms in 24 hours, thus becoming the most viewed trailer in 24 hours in movie history.

The trailer, which I completely missed and knew nothing about, was released on Friday at 8am ET, news to me, and eclipsed the previous record-holder, of course it was "Avengers: Infinity War," by almost 60 million views.

That makes it seven Disney films on the the top 10 most viewed trailers of all time list [via IndieWire]:

“Avengers: Endgame” (#1 with 289 million views), “Avengers: Infinity War” (#2 with 230 million views), “The Lion King” (#3 with 224 million views), “Avengers: Infinity War” Trailer 2 (#5 with 179 million views), “Thor: Ragnarok” (#7 with 136 million views), “Beauty and the Beast” (#8 with 127 million views), and “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” (#9 with 120 million views).

I'm guessing “Avengers: Endgame” will be the highest grossing move of next year, unless Disney, again, can find a way to wrap up their "Star Wars" trilogy in a ways that would please all the fans that were turned off by "The Last Jedi."

Disney will open “Avengers: Endgame” in theaters nationwide April 26, 2019.

To the greatest fans in the world, thank you for being there from the beginning until the endgame and making this the most viewed trailer in history with 289M views in 24 hours! pic.twitter.com/oWBDCe4e0m
