The final chapter of Marvel Studio’s apocalyptic super hero series “Avengers: Endgame” replaced all records for a foreign film in Korea, including the highest-grossing title.

According to the movie’s local distributor Walt Disney Company Korea on Sunday, the latest Marvel saga was seen by 13.4 million as of 11:45 a.m. based on the Korean Film Council’s ticket sales data, bringing down “Avatar” from the peak it dominated for the last decade with 13.3 million.
