Ever since the release of the first Avengers movie, Disney and Marvel Studios have been involved in a tug of war over the top spot, which has been held by Cameron and 20th Century Fox (now a Disney property) for a decade.
In an effort to rejuvenate the movie, Disney released a different version of Endgame in theaters on June 28th to help draw in audiences once again, promising a deleted scene a Stan Lee tribute, and an official post-credits scene.
