After breaking Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ all-time opening weekend record of $247.9 million, with $257.6 million, Avengers: Infinity War is setting its sights on the all-time second weekend record.
While Avengers: Infinity War won’t need China’s help to cross the $1 billion plateau, if it fares well in the Middle Kingdom, it could help push it to the $2 billion mark, a tally that only three films have ever gotten to, 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.068 billion), Titanic ($2.187 billion) and the all-time record holder Avatar ($2.7 billion), which also holds the all-time overseas record with $2.027 billion.
If Avengers: Infinity War can pull off a 40% drop in its second weekend, it will take in $154.5 million, to break yet another one of The Force Awakens’ box office records.
Marvel’s Infinity War has crossed yet another box office milestone, passing the $900 million plateau yesterday, virtually guaranteeing it will cross $1 billion in record time.
