2018 is On a Record Pace for Comic Movie Adaptations
With five films already released in 2018 based on comics, 2018 is on pace to be a record setting year. The films have earned $3.755 billion worldwide putting it in sixth place of the 30 years we’ve tracked data.
While that’s impressive, it’s the average of the films that stand out.
Domestically, the five films average $307.1 million. Internationally they average $443.8 million. Worldwide the films have averaged $751 million. And the films have averaged $594.7 million in “profit.” That’s the highest of those totals by far for any previous year.
Much of this is driven by Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther each of which have had record setting runs and have crossed the billion dollar mark worldwide.
The year still has Ant-Man and the Wasp opening in July, Venom in October, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in December and Aquaman in December.
