‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Bounds Across $800M At Global Box Office, Tops $500M Overseas

WEDNESDAY UPDATE, Refresh for latest…: Another milestone has fallen with Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War crossing $800M globally on Tuesday. The total through yesterday is now $808.4M. What’s more, the heroes have pounced past $500M at the international box office with $502.5M to date. Domestic, as reported earlier, crossed $300M ($305.9M) in only five days to tie Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the fastest film to the threshold. As we noted yesterday (see below), Infinity War is due to set a new speed record to $1B this weekend, beating TFA‘s 12-days to the benchmark.

Before Russia opens tomorrow, and ahead of China on May 11, Joe and Anthony Russo’s blockbuster is pacing 77% above Captain America: Civil War and 66% above Avengers: Age Of Ultron in like-for-like overseas markets.

Yesterday’s May Day holiday in many of those helped IW crush a $64.5M Tuesday. That reps 20% of the opening weekend. Force Awakens‘ first Tuesday was worth 17% of its debut frame.

In further achievements, yesterday saw Infinity War pass the global lifetimes of Spider-Man 2 ($784M), Deadpool ($783M), Guardians of the Galaxy ($773M), The Amazing Spider-Man ($758M), X-Men: Days of Future Past ($748M) and Suicide Squad ($747M).

PREVIOUS, TUESDAY: Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War has blasted past the $700M global mark with $725.5M through Monday. We can expect milestones to continue to fall throughout this week: $800M should hit with today’s numbers added, and $1B worldwide is coming this weekend — possibly through Friday which would be 10 days in release. Anything under 12 days to $1B would see Infinity War become the fastest movie to the benchmark, taking a light saber to Star Wars: The Force Awakens which currently holds the record.

After six days in release at the international box office, the offshore total is $443.1M. IW is currently supercharging 67% ahead of Captain America: Civil War and 58% above Avengers: Age Of Ultron overseas. Domestically, the Anthony and Joe Russo juggernaut is at $282.4M.

The offshore Monday was worth $60.3M in 52 material markets. That’s 19% of the opening weekend and is 2% above the first Monday for The Force Awakens back during the 2015 Christmas season. In many hubs on Monday (and again today), Thanos is taking advantage of the May Day holiday.

The UK continues to lead international markets with $45.5M, followed by Korea ($43.3M), Mexico ($30.8M), Australia ($24.9M), Brazil ($23.7M), India ($22.5M), France ($20.6M), Germany ($18.6M), the Philippines ($14M) and Italy ($13.4M).

Also on Monday, the Avengers‘ assembled worldwide gross passed the lifetimes of Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($714M), Amazing Spider-Man 2 ($709M), Doctor Strange ($678M), Man Of Steel ($668M), Justice League ($658M) and Thor: The Dark World ($645M). Over the weekend, it had already exceeded the entire runs of Iron Man 2, Logan, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and The Incredible Hulk.
