Avengers: Infinity War has biggest box office opening weekend ever
It’s official: Avengers: Infinity War has exceeded expectations to deliver the biggest box office opening of all time.
Infinity War has delivered an estimated $258.2 million domestically to beat Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the U.S. opening weekend record.
Not only that, but the Avengers sequel has raked in $382.7 million internationally bringing its global tally to $640.9 million — that’s more than halfway to a billion dollars in less than a week of ticket sales.
The numbers put Disney past the billion dollar mark in annual ticket sales faster than any other studio in history.
This weekend, Fox’s Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds sent congratulations to the Marvel team with this tongue-in-cheek tweet:
From a guy who never knows when to quit, I’m glad you guys never did. Congrats #Avengers. pic.twitter.com/voJshTKx5E
