Nothing can touch Avengers: Infinity War.

With an estimated U.S. box office total of $250 million, Marvel’s latest is officially set to claim the record of biggest opening weekend of all time. Nothing will be official until the final figures are tallied on Monday, but this record is likely to stand.

The stats get even crazier from there: 6 of the top 10 opening weekends are Marvel movies. 9 out of the top 10 are Disney moviesInfinity War officially pushed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($169.2 million) to #11, and Jurassic World ($208.8 million) — the only non-Disney contender — to #4.

‘Justice League’ is officially, well and truly DC’s lowest grossing movie

TwitterFacebook

It’s over, guysJustice League has finally ended its domestic box office run and it’s now officially the lowest grossing film in the DC Extended Universe.
