Box Office: Marvel's 'Avengers: Infinity War' Tops $1.965 Billion Worldwide

Walt Disney and Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War earned another $10.37 million (-40%) on its sixth weekend. That brings the film’s domestic cume to $642.8m after 36 days of release. At this rate, it should be just over/under the $652m cume of Jurassic World by the end of next weekend. After that, it’s just the $659m cume (sans inflation, but counting reissues) of Titanic until Infinity War becomes the fourth-biggest domestic grosser of all time. It won’t pass Black Panther ($699m), Avatar ($760m) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($937m).

The film is still kicking butt overseas as well, with a robust $24 million overseas gross for what is a new $1.964.9 billion global total. That includes an obscene $356.2m in China alone and gives the film a $1.322b overseas cume. As of this writing, the MCU epic is the third-biggest overseas grosser (behind only Titanic and Avatar), the sixth-biggest domestic grosser and the fourth-biggest global earner (behind Force Awakens, Titanic and Avatar).

Unless it gets smashed by Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom next weekend, it will absolutely cross $2 billion worldwide. Heck, it may do so on the weekend of June 15 just as Incredibles 2 is bringing the thunder and Black Panther is possibly topping $700m domestic. So, if I’m not too concerned about Disney’s overall fortunes even with Solo crashing and burning, that’s why.

They still have Ant-Man and the Wasp, Christopher Robin, Nutcracker and the Four Realms, Wreck-It Ralph 2 and Marry Poppins Returns on tap for the rest of the year. If the goal is market share domination, Disney wins even when Star Wars loses. Yes, there will be overall consequences to the Solo whiff (this May's releases may look terrible compared to last May due to Solo disappointing and Avengers opening in April), but the industry is still running ahead of last year at this juncture with a busy June and July still on tap.

Two more notes: First, Avengers: Infinity War has become the first movie to earn $40 million via IMAX auditoriums in China. Second, the MCU flick has become the first movie to log two million admissions in the 4DX format. So plenty of folks have chosen to shake, rattle and roll in the 59 countries where the 4DX is offered.
