A week after its initial release, it had grossed VND232 billion ($10 million), film distributor CGV announced recently.

The action movie, first released in Vietnam on April 25 as a sneak show, also earned VND112 billion ($4.8 million) within the first four days. The number of the film’s showings accounted for over 75 percent of all sessions in some of Vietnam’s most major cinema complexes, including CGV, Galaxy and Lotte.

Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark, is shown in a scene in a trailer for "Avengers: Endgame."

Endgame’s performance has eclipsed the record of Vietnamese film "Cua lai vo bau" (Getting back my pregnant wife), which had the highest-grossing domestic record of VND191 billion ($8.2 million). It also surpassed the domestic performance of its predecessor "Avengers: Infinity War" at VND188 billion ($8.1 million) last year.

"Avengers: Endgame," directed by American duo Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, is the 22nd movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It features a group of superheroes, played by a Hollywood ensemble including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson, trying to reverse the wiping of half the Universe’s population by the villain Thanos, played by Josh Brolin.

"Avengers: Endgame" is now running in Vietnam’s cinemas.
