Avengers: Infinity War Heats Up the U.S. Box Office
Opening Day Showdown
On Thursday evening, April 26, Avengers: Infinity War grabbed an eye‑popping US$39 million (S$51 million) across the United States and Canada. It became the biggest opening for any Marvel Studios film and ranked the fourth‑largest ever in North America.
Can It Top the RecordHolder?
By Sunday, analysts are betting that the film will either close in or even surpass the weekend record set in 2015 by Star Wars: The Force Awakens—a colossal US$248 million haul. Only five movies have ever crossed the US$200 million mark on their U.S. opening weekend, and Infinity War is squarely in that elite group.
Superhero Roster
This blockbuster pulls together over 20 of Marvel’s marquee heroes: Iron Man, Spider‑Man, Black Panther, the Guardians of the Galaxy and, of course, the Avengers squad that’s been buzzing fans for a decade.
Cast & Production
- Star‑powered lineup: Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Josh Brolin and many more.
- Budget buzz: The film reportedly cost between US$300 million and US$400 million. Disney kept the exact figure under wraps.
Critics Praise the Epic Scale
Reviewers love the movie for its ambition, sheer scale and witty moments—all culminating in a jaw‑dropping finale that seems tailor‑made to pull audiences straight into the next chapter.
International Buzz
Infinity War opened Wednesday in select overseas markets, where it sold US$95 million worth of tickets in just two days. Disney reports that another, yet‑untitled Avengers film is in post‑production and slated for a May 2019 release.
