On the international market, the Avengers movie made plenty of buzz in China.
In this particular market, the MCU film was estimated to have generated $200 million. In other words, it is the second largest debut in the market ever based on the local currency.
The milestones for the Marvel movie continue to pile up. In China, the Avengers movie became the ninth largest western release of all time in this country.
An analysis by CBS News, the film around the globe has grossed a whopping $1.6 billion. This superhero blockbuster monster fended off new movie releases like "Life of the Party," which is a comedy. The other is the thriller film "Breaking In".
The above report adds that the box-office is up almost five percent for the year.
This is because of the incredible and massive success "Infinity War" has generated in movie theaters at home and around the globe.
Takeaways and looking ahead towards 'Deadpool 2'
It is impossible to say, but "Deadpool" could slow down the momentum of the Avengers movie. On the other hand, this film does feature quite a number of superheroes that take on the mighty titan, Thanos. And in the film, a lot of pivotal characters perish once Thanos assembles the Infinity Gauntlet.
It will be interesting to see how the film performs at the box office in the coming weeks. Can it dominate once again? It will be up to moviegoers to decide its fate.
