Avengers: Endgame is the most anticipated movie of our times, and at the rate presales are going, it could finally overtake Avatar as the biggest movie of all-time.

Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis had this to say about the huge drive to their site to buy tickets, a force so huge that some ticketing sites crashed, and there were issues to go around, with increased wait times just to be told all tickets were sold out.
"Avengers: Endgame sales have exceeded all expectations and surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the previous record-holder, to become Fandango's top-selling title in its first 24 hours of sales, and it accomplished that feat in only 6 hours. We've never seen anything like this, it's truly a groundbreaking accomplishment - as fans simply cannot wait to see how this epic saga comes to a close."
