According to Twitter, the hour-and-a-half long episode on Sunday night tallied over eight million mentions on social media, earning the second-straight record of the kind for Game of Thrones. "The Long Night" beat out this year's season premiere, the previous record-holder for the most popular episode of television, according to the microblogging service.
"The Long Night" also shattered the record for number of tweets which was previously broken during the season premiere by nearly three million mentions. Though the series continues to be a cultural phenomenon, Game of Thrones writer and producer Bryan Cogman has claimed the creative team behind the series never took potential fan reactions into account when developing the show's final season.
Meanwhile, Avengers: Endgame hauled in more than $1.2 billion worldwide by the end of its first weekend in theaters. More than $350 million of that haul came from domestic box office sales.
Avengers: Endgame is now playing in theaters. Game of Thrones airs Sundays at 9pm ET on HBO with 3 episodes remaining in its final season.
