They probably didn't have time. Someone likely came up with the idea for this re-release a day before they announced it a week and a half ago. They just pulled a deleted scene from the Blu-ray extras and slapped a quickly recorded intro on it.

Re: Avengers: Endgame (The Russo Brothers, 2019) — The Spoiler Filled Reviews Thread
WOW! What a gigantic piece of marketing horse shit! Shame on Disney/Marvel for pulling this BS stunt. Not doing any prior research and just going buy both my boys desire to "must see" the added footage/content/whatever the fuck you want to call it, against my better judgement I plunked down an extra $35 not including drinks and popcorn to watch footage that was relegated to barley Blu Ray extras. Including a bullshit teaser trailer reminding me to go watch (in my opinion) probably a very weak Spiderman movie coming out on July 2nd.
The 30 - or - so people in the theater left stunned, in an almost collective, unspoken "WTF did I just get taken for?" silence. I left with more than that, a further disdain for Disney/Marvel and their milkethismotherfuckinthingforeverylastdime. An outright further hatred for Stan Lee, for decades that piece of shit ripped-off Jack Kirby and countless other Marvel artists (financially). But history gets mis-remembered and the general public doesn't care. Marvel came correct in the early/mid-90's with a decent sized payment to Kirby's widow but only after the insistence and pressure from of a very unlikely band of artists led by ex-Marvel and DC artists Rob Liefeld, Jim Valentino, Erik Larsen and the rest of the Image Comics owners. But I could go on ad nauseam about how both Marvel and DC exploited and underpaid artists over the years, I'll save that for another day.
It's clear to me that this tribute/homage was actually intended for the original release of End Game but a creative/time decision was made to cut the Stan Lee tribute. With it added here after putting the audience through such a heartfelt, emotional rollercoaster ending it really didn't pack the same emotional punch as I think Marvel had intended, hence it's removal.
And then the deleted Hulk scene that was so dear to the directors hearts? In a very weird "Die Hard isn't a time traveling movie" call-back, we see Reginald VelJohnson (cop from Die Hard) playing some sort of fire captain/officer talking into a CB radio while a building is exploding/on fire as the Hulk rescues a handful of people using a satellite dish as a basket. This scene received absolutely no audience reaction whatsoever.
Disney and Marvel can eat a bag of dicks, fool me once.... fuck you 3000 Disney.

Well, Disney managed to run another beloved franchise (I won't mention by name) into the ground and tore apart the fanbase in just two years, so we should consider ourselves lucky it took them this long to eat up the good will the MCU has amassed.

The re-release of Endgame did push up its domestic box-office, more than doubling the box-office of the weekend before.
https://www.the-numbers.com/news/239...ith-58-million
Avengers: Endgame was re-released, and will earn seventh place with $5.54 million for a total of $841.32 million after ten weeks of release. Internationally, it didn’t get a real push, and will earn an estimated $2.3 million in 40 markets for totals of $1.920 billion and a worldwide total of $2.761 billion. The film is now just $15 million behind Avatar for top spot on the all-time worldwide chart. It should get there, especially if it gets a boost from Spider-Man: Far From Home’s debut next weekend.

Spoiler:
Thank you for saving me three hours. Since I have been avoiding all things Spider-Man (I think the first trailer gave away too much already), a double-thank you is in order. I didn’t read past the first line of what you wrote about SM, but just knowing it is a lifted scene and not an actual post-credit scene is enough.

Heh! Sorry about that rant, typos and all ... I was a little heated, and I was hoping I'd be less pissed by now (I'm not) so I still stand by what I wrote, save for my Spider-Man Homecoming prediction. Again, that's my take from what I've seen from the trailers so far, kinda lackluster imo. I hope that I'm wrong because I really liked the first outing.

I think that’s a bit on the extreme way of looking at it. I agree the re-release probably wasn’t worth it and a cash grab, but the film is still worthwhile and Disney has done more than good with the MCU to date. I also don’t feel like people were cheated out of anything. If you read Feige’s comments they delivered what they said they would. It was never touted as an extended cut or whatever other than by some articles that made it seem that way.

I say re-release it again. This time with free BJs from Feige with every ticket purchased. We’ll see how much they really want to beat Avatar.

Considering they somehow pushed Black Panther over the edge...they will make it here as well. US is good for another 3+ million.

I noticed BoxOfficeMojo only has films tracked internationally through July 7th. So it's going to be very close in another week or so.

I would have gone to see it again for sure if I had the time and not because of beating the record or added footage etc but because I liked the movie and want to see it again.
The other issue is in about a month I can watch it all I want at home, so kind of a waste now.

I don't know why they're bothering. The MCU as a whole has already embarrassed every franchise in existence, both in terms of financial success and, more importantly, consistent quality. Besides, it's been so long since Avatar came out you know we'll get a rerelease right before the sequels actually arrive.

Re-releases are almost completely dead. Home video has taken over the market for older videos so much that the majority of people aren't going to go see a re-release, delegating them to special limited things like the MCU marathon or one-day Fantom events.
