We’re projecting that Avengers: Infinity War will break the all-time opening weekend record of $247.9 million set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December 2015, with a whopping $252.4 million opening weekend.
Those projections put the Avengers: Infinity War opening between $235 million and $255 million, which also came in the wake of reports that, on Fandango, Avengers: Infinity War had already outsold the last seven Marvel movies combined, at that point in their pre-release cycle.
Long before the premiere, Avengers: Infinity War was already shaping up to be one of the biggest movies of the year, if not the biggest.
