This includes other major superhero and science-fiction films. In addition, unlike Avatar, Titanic and even Black Panther, due to its launch date, Infinity War will face stern competition from summer blockbusters. Still, additional openings in China and Russia will definitely give Infinity War a serious shot in the arm. It’s worth remembering though, that both those films’ weekend box office didn’t drop as Marvel movies’ tend to. Titanic made even less at $88.43 million in ten days. In generating just under $1 billion in its first ten days, Infinity War would be in contention for one of the top spots in the list of highest grossing movies ever.īy contrast, in its first ten days, Avatar made just $212.71 at the US box office. That’d mean a total box office result of $975 million in its first ten days. If this average holds true, it will make an additional $575 million at the international box office. However, on average America is only responsible for 41% of a Marvel movie’s total box office gross. Including weekday showings, that should mean that Infinity War generates around $400 million at the US box office in its first ten days. If Marvel’s average holds, Infinity War should make around $138 million in the US next weekend. Titanic actually grew 23.8% from its first to its second weekend and continued to grow on subsequent weekends.Įven Star Wars: The Force Awakens only dropped 39.8% from its first to the second weekend. From its first to the second weekend, Avatar‘s box office dropped just 1.8%. Overall, the average drop for a Marvel film on its second weekend is 55.2%.īut again, compare that to Avatar, the highest-grossing film ever. By its second weekend, Black Panther was down just 44.7% from the previous weekend. Still, while Black Panther has continued with diminishing returns, its success has stymied the flow of cash a little. Both films continued making less and less each subsequent weekend for months. For Age Of Ultron, things looked even dicier: its second weekend it made 59.3% less than its opening weekend. The only trouble is that with each consecutive number one weekend, Marvel will see smaller and smaller returns.īy its second weekend, the original Avengers made 50.3% less than its debut weekend. Marvel executives will be hoping Black Panther‘s success proves Infinity War can do the same. The third highest-grossing film of all time, Star Wars: The Force Awakens was only number one at the box office for four weekends. Still, while those films dwarf anything the Marvel Cinematic Universe has done, there is hope for Infinity War. The second highest-grossing, Titanic lasted 17 weekends. In contrast, the highest grossing film ever Avatar was the number one film at the US box office for eight weeks. The original Avengers film lasted three weekends, while its sequel Age Of Ultron stuck it out for just two weekends. Previously, Thor: Ragnarok stayed at number one for two weekends, Spider-Man: Homecoming lasted one weekend, and Doctor Strange lasted two weekends. Including its debut, Black Panther remained the top film at the US box office for five consecutive weekends. The studio currently has two films in the top ten, as February’s Black Panther is still drawing huge audiences. ![]() Will the Infinity War box office momentum last?Īs it stands, there’s no denying that Marvel is on a hot streak. Overall, there’s definitely evidence to suggest that, had Infinity War launched in China and Russia at the same time as the rest of the world, it would have been the largest opening weekend for any film in the world ever. Given that Infinity War is an even bigger crossover, there’s no reason to think it won’t do just as well or better. ![]() That film generated $155.75 million at the Chinese box office on its opening weekend. Unfortunately, there is no data about the success of the first Avengers crossover movie, but just like in Russia, Age Of Ultron did significantly better than average. In China, the average for a Marvel film’s opening weekend is $52.55 million. Therefore, it seems reasonably likely that, Infinity War‘s opening weekend in Russia will make at least the average of the two, $15.50 million. Meanwhile, its sequel, Age Of Ultron made $16.04 million on its opening weekend. The original Avengers made $14.95 million on its opening weekend in Russia. It is worth bearing in mind, however, that Avengers movies do much better than the average film from the cinematic universe. On average, a Marvel film makes $8.34 million in Russia on its opening weekend.
