Following Black Panther, now The Avengers: Infinity War is estimated to have another huge opening for Marvel Studios and Disney.
According to reports, The Avengers: Infinity War could have an opening box office weekend to the tune of $200 million – $235 million.
It’s further suggested that The Avengers: Infinity War domestic box office could be between $490 million – $590 million.
Black Panther recently opened to $202 million and has a current U.S. gross of around $435.5 million (current worldwide gross of $770 million).
The first The Avengers movie opened to $207 million and finished with a domestic gross of $623 million, for a grand total of $1.5 billion.
Will The Avengers: Infinity War be able to beat The Avengers numbers?
If The Avengers: Infinity War has a high Rotten Tomatoes score (which it’s almost guaranteed to get simply because it is a Marvel and Disney movie), has great word-of-mouth reviews, and that it’s worth seeing more than once (probably the most important factor), I can definitely see The Avengers: Infinity War coming out on top.
Now beating out Star Wars: The Force Awakens might be an entirely different matter as The Force Awakens currently sits at the top of the U.S. box office with a near $1 billion draw (with a worldwide gross of $2 billion).
