By the end of Tuesday, just five days into its release, Infinity War had officially grossed $804 million worldwide; with $300 million of that from U.S. ticket sales, Marvel’s latest crossover tied a previous box office record set by The Force Awakens.
And these numbers don’t even include box office returns from China, where, as THR notes, Infinity War doesn’t hit theaters until May 11.
As THR reports, Infinity War has not only tied with Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the fastest film in history to reach $300 million at the domestic box office — but it’s also on track to become the quickest movie to ever hit $1 billion worldwide.
But few could have anticipated just how massive a hit the latest Avengers installment has become in less than a week.
