Good afternoon Disney friends,
First off, Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms. I hope you have had a wonderful day.
Another weekend at the movies is about in the books and Disney is still placing 2 films in the top 10. Avengers: Infinity War is still leading the box office with an estimated $61.8 mil, which is the 4th highest third weekend of all time. The film will also be the second fastest film to $500 million (only behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens.) The film's current domestic box office take is $547.8 mil, which places it at number 8 on the all time domestic list. Next weekend will see it knocked off of its perch when Deadpool 2 opens. Then the following weekend will see more competition when Solo: A Star Wars Story opens. It will be interesting to see how deep these 2 films cut into Avengers' box office take.
The big news for Infinity War comes from China. The film opened there this weekend with a total take of $200 mil. This is the 1st or 2nd largest opening in that market (depending if you use local currency (2nd) or converted to US$ (1st) and has pushed the international gross to in excess of $1 bil and the global numbers to $1.6 bil. The film now stands at number 5 for the worldwide market and will bypass Jurassic World later this week.
There are now 2 questions for this film. First, how much further will it go domestically considering the competition coming up? Secondly, will it be able to get to $2 bil worldwide?
The House of Mouse's other top 10 film was Black Panther, which was number 9. The film now stands about $3.8 mil short of $700 mil.
