:picard:Good lord what the fukk, :russ:and people saying Marvel about to leave the building. They ain’t leaving shyt but crushing it, this shyt is ridiculous it’s undisputed now without doubt Marvel are king of the box office. This might actually beat Avatar if it doesn’t slow down.


Its 100% gonna slow down. I think because of the more serious tone its gonna have horrible legs like Civil War

It was a historic weekend at the box office, as Avengers: Infinity War set new records for both domestic and worldwide opening weekends. The latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe brought in $250 million on the domestic front and a stunning $630 million worldwide to easily claim the top spots in both metrics. The film’s opening (based on current Sunday estimates) beat out the $248 million first weekend of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and shattered the previous worldwide record of $541.9 million set by The Fate of the Furiousin April of last year.

There’s a lot going on here, so let’s get into it. Looking first at the domestic numbers, Infinity Wartranslated its $106 million first day start into a very good 2.35 multiple for the weekend thanks to a great 22% slip on Saturday and then 27% on Sunday. If you take out the $39 million that are rolled into Friday as part of Thursday previews, Infinity War actually had a 20% bounce from Friday to Saturday that indicates a strong family presence. That’s not too incredibly surprising, mind. Infinity War had one of the highest awareness and first-choice scores of all-time in pre-release research, ahead of The Force Awakens, Black Panther, Star Wars: Last Jedi and Jurassic World.

Everyone knew this was going to be huge, but even then it overperformed. Expectations going into the weekend were in the $225 million to $235 million, but with only an outside chance of topping The Force Awakens. The critical reviews are good for Infinity War but not off the charts, sitting at 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s the audience reaction and corresponding word of mouth that is making a difference. The film has an A CinemaScore, matching the scores for the other two Avengersfilms and Captain America: Civil War. That provided the boost the film needed to get over the top
