Avengers: Endgame Is Second Film to Cross $800M at US Box Office
Avengers: Endgame has joined Star Wars: The Force Awakens as one of only two films to ever cross the $800 million mark at the US box office.
The milestone comes thanks to the extended Memorial Day weekend, which saw the movie earn an estimated $22.3 million, reports Comicbook.com.
This puts Avengers: Endgame’s overall US earnings at $803.63 million, putting it in second place on the leader board for the US domestic box office. It currently lags behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens by $133 million.
The other title Avengers: Endgame is closing in on is that of the highest grossing film globally, which has belonged to Avatar for almost a decade. Endgame is just $103 million away from Avatar’s record, but experts suggest it would take until Labor Day in September to surpass that. Whether Avengers: Endgame remains in theatres that long remains to be seen, especially with a big summer for film already underway, and a second Marvel film in Spider-Man: Far From Home releasing in July.

This may be hinting that the new trailer arriving this week will reveal Death Stranding's online features and functionality. It has been teased before that Kojima's latest title is "all about player collaboration," and star Norman Reedus even said that it will feature "elements of social media" and is about "re-establishing of that physical contact" after "so many games and so many parts of millennial culture are being alone in a room."
AMD Announces Next-Gen GPUs and CPUs at Computex
At Computex AMD has pulled the wraps off its next-gen GPU and CPU architectures, revealing its Navi GPU and third generation Ryzen CPUs as well.

AMD Introduces Navi
The existence of AMD's Navi GPUs has never been a secret, but up until now all we knew about them was that they were going to be built on a 7nm node. It's such a non-secret that Sony has already stated it will be using Navi in the next-gen Playstation. At Computex, Su revealed the GPUs in the Navi lineup will be called the Radeon 5000 series; a nod to the company's 50th anniversary. They will also be the first GPUs built on a new RDNA microarchitecture (short for Radeon DNA), which is a departure from the previous GCN architecture that has powered everything from Hawaii up to Vega and the current Polaris cards. AMD announced it as the RX 5700 series, but pricing, clock speeds, and pricing were all TBD. However, they did say the GPUs will be available in July.
The Avengers Project – Road to E3 2019
Chalk it up to Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War taking all the focus away from anything else with that hero team in the name, but the last time we saw Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics’ The Avengers Project was...the first time we saw The Avengers Project.
Square Enix debuted a teaser trailer for the Marvel Games title from Crystal Dynamics, developers of the 2011 Tomb Raider reboot, back in January 2017. The original, cinematic teaser trailer flashed over what appeared to be the fallout of a fight or some other catastrophe. Bruce Banner’s glasses, the hand of Iron Man’s armor, Thor’s hammer Mjlonir, Captain America’s shield can all be seen strewn about, before ending with the hashtag “Reassemble.”
