Avengers: Endgame beats Titanic’s $2.12bn box office record

After just 12 days in theaters worldwide, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ has surpassed the 21-year global box office record of $2.128 billion held by Titanic.

According to box office reports, the Marvel flick has become the second-highest grossing film in the world, with an estimated $2.189 billion.

This record was cemented by the $619.7 million it has grossed domestically, which also eclipsed the $600.8 million ‘Titanic’ grossed in its initial theatrical run after opening in December 1997.

The historical-romantic epic ‘Titanic’ also grossed an additional $58.6 million in re-releases in 2012 and 2017 which was noted by box office sales records.

Reports also show that ‘Avengers’ has rapidly become the one of the highest grossing films ever in China, with an astonishing $545.8 million since it opened there on April 24.

The movie broke every possible box office record when it debuted with $1.22 billion worldwide, including $357 million domestically.

The film has since eased off that blistering pace in the US and Canada, however, earning an estimated $145.8 million over its second weekend.

This figures fell a little short and could not quite pass the $149.2 million second weekend record set by ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ over the Christmas holiday in 2015.

When factoring in ticket price inflation, Marvel’s ‘Avengers: Endgame’ still has some ground to cover.

On the Box Office Mojo’s chart of inflation adjusted grosses, the best (if imperfect) measure of a film’s overall popularity with domestic audiences, Endgame ranks as roughly the 42nd highest grossing film of all time.

By comparison, when adjusting for inflation, Titanic grossed roughly $1.16 billion in theaters in the US and Canada in its initial release.

Due to varying ticket price inflation rates and unreliable record keeping, it is virtually impossible to reasonably adjust for box office inflation worldwide.

However, fans worldwide are hoping the movie breaks ‘Avatar’s box office records of $2.788 which it made from Dec. 2009 through Feb. 2010. (NAN)

Popular Nigerian Actress Tonto Dikeh Reveals her Ex Husband Churchhill is into Yahoo Plus and Last Only 40 seconds in Bed

Popular Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh has yet again come out to drag her ex-husband, Churchill Olakunle on social media. She revealed more than what a lot of people were expecting to hear.

This new revelation by Tonto Dikeh will not only spark off a lot of conversation but will do a lot of harm on Churchill Olakunle's reputation and image. Some of the things she revealed in her new documentary aren't really new while for others, it will be the first time they will get to hear about how her marriage to Olakunle Churchill crashed.

During her chat with media personality, Daddy Freeze, Tonto Dikeh revealed that her ex-husband, Churchill Olakunle couldn't last long in bed. As humiliating as this may sound, the actress revealed that she was surprised he went around cheating when he couldn't satisfy a woman in bed.

"The beginning of the relationship, I never suspected him of cheating because he has a disease, a sexual disease, it is called premature ejaculation. He can't stay inside a woman for more than 40 seconds. My son was the longest sex, one minute," she said

Tonto Dikeh has always called her ex-husband an internet fraudster but this time around in her Youtube channel, she went further to give a very detailed instance of the time she caught him red-handed carrying out what she feels was a ritual for his internet fraud business.

"After I came back from giving birth to my son, I had been suspecting that he was into Yahoo...before I even came back to Nigeria I had already begun to suspect but the only thing that made me confirm was the night that he wasn't supposed to home and I slept early because of my son. And I heard some noise in his room because he's in the penthouse and my room is under.

"So, I heard a noise upstairs, nobody was supposed to be in that room. I opened up this room, I saw a full-grown man wearing a red cloth in his waist with red candles everywhere around him with a laptop in his hands. Immediately I saw that I was shocked, I was simply shocked. I was not scared but I was shocked. I just started laughing and he got me and that was one of the first fights we had after I had King," she said.

A few months ago, Churchhill had filled a lawsuit against Tonto Dikeh over her alleged sale of his car. In her new interview with Daddy Freeze, she revealed how the name in the papers of the car where neither that of her ex-husband or hers'. She went to talk about how she discovered the car wasn't bought in her son's name after the police had stopped her friend who was driving the car.

Tonto Dikeh said she didn't see any reason why she would have stayed married to Churchill and leave his house without anything. Hence her decision to take the car when she was leaving the house

Tonto Dikeh went on to clear the air about her relationship with the mysterious 'Mr. X' back in the days. According to her, Churchhill Olakunle was never her Mr X, rather he was someone who wanted to keep their relationship private since all her previous relationships which had gotten publicity, didn't see the light of the day.

"He was not originally Mr. X but as a girl, I had already flaunted this relationship, he had gotten me so much exotic gifts, he had done so much for me that other girls wanted their own Mr. X and for the relationship to have ended, I was so ashamed, I was so broken and couldn’t come out to say the relationship had broken, so when I met my son’s father on February 13. We started talking three days after and because I was an emotional wreck, I needed a new relationship, I needed some sort of consolation and he was there, so we got dating and that was how I declared him Mr. X. Initially, he was never Mr. X” she said

Tonto Dikeh in one of her numerous attacks, had accused her ex-husband of being gay. Even though she has never really talked about this particular allegation extensively, the movie star for the first time gave a comprehensive account of her she found out he was allegedly gay

"I didn't know about it until the person they said he slept with asked me to help him go and clear it out. The person was my friend so I went and after I did that, it occurred to me to ask. I don't want to mention the person's name," she said.

Tonto granted an interview with Daddy Freeze on his YouTube channel where she spilled a lot about her failed marriage to Churchill Olakunle. She also released a two-part series on her newly launched YouTube channel where she talked exclusively on the same topic.
