Everyone knew Avengers: Infinity War would open big but the question was, how big? We’ve got that answer with a record opening weekend. The film has opened with a record $250 million domestically which bests the previous record holder Star Wars: The Force Awaken‘s $247.9 million. The film also earned a record $630 million worldwide. Disney has a habit of underestimating these types of things, so it’s possible that number could go even higher.

Addition records include:

• Largest single Saturday gross
• Largest single Sunday gross
• Largest April opening
• Largest Spring opening
• Widest PG-13 release
• Fastest film to $150, $200, and $250 million

Internationally the film opened with an estimated $380 million from 72% of the international marketplace. That’s the second largest. Fate of the Furious holds the record with $442 million but it had the benefit of China which earned $185 million of that. The film will open there May 11th. It was #1 in all territories.

Infinity War received an “A” CinemaScore with audience that was 58% male and 58% over the age of 24. With this opening the 18 Marvel Cinematic Universe films has amassed nearly $15.5 billion combined.

In second place was A Quiet Place which earned $10.65 million domestically to bring that total to $148.2 million and it now has $235.4 million worldwide off of a $17 million budget.

I Feel Pretty remained in third place with $8.13 million. It has now earned $29.6 million domestically off of a $32 million budget after two weeks.

Rampage dropped from second to fourth with an estimated $7.1 million to bring its domestic total to $77.9 million. The film has been a monster at the foreign box office where it has earned 76.7% of its grosses with $256.7 million for a worldwide total of $334.6 million.

Rounding out the top five was Black Panther which improved from last week’s eighth place. The film added $4.4 million to its domestic total and clearly has gotten a boost from Avengers: Infinity War. This is the first time since 2008 that Marvel has had two films in the top ten.
