Avengers: Infinity War is on the path to becoming
the highest-grossing superhero film of all
time.
Deadline reports Marvel's latest film passed
the $900 million mark at the global box office,
landing Thursday at $905.1 mill.
Infinity War is projected to pass the $1 billion
dollar mark this week.
That speed makes it the fastest film ever
to make this much money, a record previously
set in 12 days by 2015's Star Wars: The Force
Awakens, which went on to become the No. 3
earner of all time at $2.07 billion.
The latest numbers come with a boost from
Russia, where the film premiered on Thursday,
May 3.
It opened with $4.9 million, making it the
highest debut of all time in the country.
As for the other nations across the world,
Infinity War is doing pretty well.
In the U.K., it's earned $53.7 million.
Korea is in second place with $53.1 mill,
followed by Mexico ($39.9M), Brazil ($33.5M)
and India ($30.1M).
The film is still slated to premiere in China
next week as well.
With the latest box office numbers, the third
Avengers tops superhero films including Spider-Man
3, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Batman v Superman,
and Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2.
It has yet to top Black Panther's $1.3 billion
global earnings.
