AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Passes THE FORCE AWAKENS with Record $250 Million U.S. Bow; Breaks Global Record with $630 Million

The galaxy has a new ruler. Disney and Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War kicked off the summer box office in high style, opening to a record-setting $250 million in North America and $380 million overseas for a global total of $630 million, the top worldwide start of all time. The superhero mashup accomplished the feat without China, where it doesn't unfurl until May 11.

Fellow Disney title Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($248 million) was the previous record holder for biggest domestic opening, while Universal's The Fate of the Furious had held the record for biggest global start ($541.9 million). As in North America, Infinity War set a slew of industry records overseas.

Infinity War's box office victory was aided by the biggest Saturday of all time in North America ($83 million), reflecting a strong family turnout. The tentpole cost close to $300 to produce before a major marketing spend.

Directed by the Russo brothers, Avengers: Infinity War is most ambitious amassing of superheroes in history, and comes as Marvel Studios — led by Kevin Feige — celebrates its 10th anniversary. In 2009, Walt Disney Co. chief Bob Iger paid $4 billion to acquire Marvel Entertainment, even though many of the superhero characters in Marvel's stable were unproven.

Infinity War is the first film to be shot entirely with IMAX cameras. IMAX theaters in turn delivered $41 million of the total global gross, the biggest showing ever for a Marvel title. The U.S. share was $22.5 million.

Infinity War follows the massive success of Marvel's Black Panther, a cultural phenomenon and fanboy darling that currently ranks as the top-grossing superhero film of all time in North America with $688 million in ticket sales. The superhero, played by Chadwick Boseman, appears in the Avengers film and was no doubt a boost for Infinity War.

In a surprise twist, interest in Black Panther — now in its 11th weekend — once again spiked as Infinity War debuted. Black Panther moved back up the chart from No. 8 to No. 5, earning $4.4 million.

Marvel Studios is unrivaled in its success, boasting six of the top 10 opening weekends of all time. The Avengers ($207.4 million) previously held the record for the biggest superhero launch, followed by Black Panther ($202 million). They are the only two superhero titles to have crossed $200 million in their first weekend.

Infinity War also continues Disney's domination at the box office. The studio has bragging rights to nine of the 10 biggest domestic openings, including the top three; Infinity War, Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi($220 million). Universal's Jurassic World ($208.8 million) is No. 4.

Nabbing an A CinemaScore, Infinity War reunites theAvengers gang and friends, including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Black Panther (Boseman), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), as they join forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy crew to stop the evil intergalactic despot Thanos (Josh Brolin).

Anyone want to chime in on the possible significance of The Watcher being on Peter’s bus when the Black Order arrives?

I also think they might have used Stan Lee better for a cameo during the death scenes and doing a cut away to him shedding a tear as The Watcher when Peter vanishes. I would have legit cried to that.

And while totally not a chance, if Marvel had found a way to make this scene a reality in the next movie. I would lose my shit as well......

Similar to Thanos going to another plane of existence.

Starlord - "Where is Gamora!?"

Iron Man - "I'll do you one better, WHO is Gamora!?"

Drax - "I'll do you one better.... WHY is Gamora!?"
 
Oh, can we talk about the trailer scenes that weren't in the movie.
 
Oh what am I supposed to say? Jesus?!

And what about the lopro Spiderman KO?

Is it still the best movie ever?

Not surprising. An amazing movie that deserves it unlike Star Wars and FF.

Maw was creepy- I really liked the innocuous-sounding voice contrasting his amped up powers. The fact that his announcement of Thanos to the dying and dead Asgardians was one of the first moments of the movie really kind of set the tone.

It seemed kind of ironic that he clearly appeared to be the most powerful/effective of the Black Order but he was the first one taken out. That said, he really was terrific for as long as he was onscreen.

Had some great lines too- "Your powers are quaint. You must be popular with children."
"For as long as I've served Thanos, I have never failed him. If I arrive on Titan with the stone still attached to your vaguely annoying person, there will be judgment..."
 
It's April

@Dragonlordxxxxx

Thats as not as Crazy as Black Panther's number in February or Guardians being successful in August of 2014 but Marvel is crushing expectations as to when their movies can open well.


I don't know if it has Force Awakens legs though . People complain about it now but at the time general audiences were loving that FA was New Hope 2.0 . It helped it have a Prolonged run.

Marvel has been doing this a lot lately. A couple of times with Hulk . In Ragnarok Trailer there is a scene where Thor , Valkeyrie, Loki and Hulj stand together on the Rainbow Bridge , that never happened in the movie.

"Yeah but he's watched more movies."
Fucking outstanding lol
I found Maw getting killed that way totally fantastic. Just completely caught off guard.
 
"Is Footloose still the greatest film ever made?"
"It never was..."
I damn near shit my pants. Holland's delivery was absolutely perfect.
