To say that Avengers: Infinity War has been a hit would be an understatement. The film has already smashed the record of the biggest U.S. opening in history and less than two weeks before it was first released, it has already earned more than $1 billion worldwide. It’s now the fastest movie to cross the $1 billion milestone at the global box office. The previous record was held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War has been very well received and it goes without saying that the movie will continue to do well at the box office in the days to come.
According to Deadline, the movie has crossed $1 billion globally in just 11 days after its release. To put things in perspective Black Panther, another recent Marvel hit, earned over $1 billion globally some four weeks after it was released in February 2018. The previous record holder, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, crossed this milestone 12 days after its release. That movie came out back in 2015.
It’s also interesting to note that the movie has crossed this major milestone well before its planned release in China. It’s yet to open in one of the biggest markets on the planet. Avengers: Infinity War is going to be released in China on May 11th. That’s also when this figure is going to jump significantly.
