Brilliant performance by AIW in the global marketplace. Also, strange to see the German movie market so relatively small compared to its overall economy and population.

That is an amazing number from Taiwan as well. According to BOM, JW and F7 (#2 and #3 highest grossers in Taiwan) opened to $5.8 million and $6.6 million respectively (finishing with $26.7 million and $26.3 million). Avatar is the #1 film in Taiwan and would require a gross around $37.2 million today to beat.

The numbers from BoM are only for 3-day weekend. 5-day OW are 7.93m and 10.40m for JW and FF7' respectively.

Deadline 

 

Internationally, Infinity Wardislodged Jurassic World ($316.7M) at No. 2 (that movie also had China at open). In comps that did not include China at the bow, Infinity War‘s overseas start blew past Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2($314M) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($281M). Worldwide, only three movies had previously topped $500M in their openings: F8, The Force Awakens and Jurassic World.

Pre-opening indications from the industry saw a $275M international opening for Infinity War at the high end. No one was calling $300M+ until we saw how Friday was working overseas, but the ultimate $380M was “unexpected and unlike anything that anyone would have projected,” Disney Worldwide Distribution chief Dave Hollis tell Deadline. “Honestly, this is a result that goes unbelievably beyond what anyone would have expected. But it’s also a reflection of what 10 years of really methodical work and a great campaign, and an unbelievably strong movie and every single person being in the movie and what that means for driving people into cinemas,” he adds.

It was a perfect storm of the critically- and fan-praised picture playing well everywhere. In places where Marvel typically excels like Latin America, Infinity War “just exploded,” says Hollis who notes Mexico’s $25.1M “is take your breath away.” And, markets that have not historically played as well (some of Europe, for example) “played far better than they ever have.”

The movie posted the highest opening weekend in industry history in Korea, India (non-local), the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Brazil, Central America, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, South Africa, Turkey (non-local), the UAE and West Africa.

Depending on legs, $2 billion WW may actually be feasible. Most would have said that target to be impossible a few weeks ago.

This feels crazy to be typing, but honestly 2B looks harder to miss than hit at this point. Actual OS likely coming in above 380. +~20 from Russia and the OS-China opening is 400+. Gets to 1B on worse than 2.5 legs.     

 

Opening  a bit over 250 domestically, gets to 600 with worse than 2.4. China with a good chance to come in a round 400.      

 

SW7 WW is incredibly on the table, as it Titanic (including rereleases!). Titanic would be a bit of a stretch even now though.

Nothing that extraordinary, compared to it's economy movies in Germany are always quit small.

[Joyous Legion]

BP: 1.35  

IW: 2  

AM&tW: 650+    

 

They’re going over 4B this year boys. The absolute madmen.     

 

I guess my new goalpost for them will be one full TA over 2017 gross.

1.7/8B for IW

Still no number for Vietnam

It definitely beat OW record. The question is how much?

How did it gross $200 million on Saturday and Sunday? It only grossed $83 million on Friday, the numbers don't seem right?

Why not?

A lot of markets opened on Thursday and in most markets Previews aren't as popular as in the USA.

Sat always increase big during school time and Sun is usually higher than Fri too

And I find your "only $83M" disturbing when it's second highest Fri OS ever

Amazing just amazing all around!

Ten years after Iron Man launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Infinity Warhas taken it to breathtaking heights. The international start of $380M, logged the 2nd best debut of all time behind only The Fate Of The Furious which included China in its opening run whereas Infinity War doesn’t get to the Middle Kingdom until May 11. Globally, the film rocketed to an all-time record of $630M.

A new benchmark for superhero movies, Infinity War’s international start has it pacing about 47% above Avengers: Age Of Ultron which finaled at $946.4M overseas (non-adjusted) and around 61% over Captain America: Civil War($745.2M offshore final), based on like-for-like play. Both of those were the best comps coming into the weekend. The global launch is $28M off the lifetime of last year’s Justice League (non-adjusted dollars). 

The mega mash-up of Avengers and Guardians got the lead out in 52 material markets, about 72% of the overseas footprint. Russia joins next weekend.

This weekend, A: IW was No. 1 in all markets and regionally grossed $161M in Asia Pacific, $144M in the EMEA countries and $75M in Latin America.

The lead play was the UK with $42.2M for the 3rd highest industry opening weekend of all time, the 2nd highest Disney opening weekend ever and the highest grossing Saturday ever. The market share was 78%.

Korea, at $39.2M was the top industry opening weekend in history with an amazing 95% of the market. Mexico’s $25.1M is likewise the biggest launch ever and brought in 94% of the market.

Australia had the ANZAC holiday in early play and scored the 2nd biggest industry opening weekend ever (behind The Force Awakens) with 72% of moviegoers. The total there to date is $23M. 

Brazil rounds out the Top 5 with the best opening weekend ever and 86% of the market for $18.8M.

Next on the list, India is just a staggering opening of $18.6M. This is the top Western industry opening of all time and after only three days is the No. 6 highest grossing Hollywood title ever beating the entire runs of The Avengers, Avengers: Age Of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War.

France ($17.7M) and Germany ($14.7M) marked the biggest superhero movie openings ever. Coming up next at $12.5M, the Philippines topped all previous openers with 97% of the market going to see A: IW. It is already the No. 3 movie ever. Italy grossed $11M and Thailand took $10M. Indonesia ($9.6M) also impressed with 96% of the market. Japan scored the No. 2 biggest MCU launch ever, behind Ultron with $9M.

Everything that’s been done in the 17 films since Tony Stark first shot off in his armored red suit has been leading to this 19th MCU entry which boasted a global campaign of superhero proportions, as talent traveled to Sao Paolo, Mexico City, London, Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo and Shanghai. In the ultimate Top 5 of offshore markets, Marvel movies are consistently led by China with a mix of Korea, the UK, Brazil and Mexico rounding out the field.

Ahead, there’s some clear runway before Deadpool 2 starts frolicking around the globe, and repeat viewing is almost essential on this complex epic which could hit $1B before it even gets to China.

So is outgrossing Furious 7 overseas likely?

I know you prefer to be conservative and I understand why, but this seems a more similar phenomenon to TA than to Ultron. 2 billion are probable. And both TFA and Titanic are not safe... It is incredible.

 

Congrats to all Marvel loonies. You were absolutely right. I am absolutely astonished. Marvel has done the impossible... again.

[expensiveho]

2.5x legs domestic, 2.75x legs overseas-C and 2x legs in China take this to 2b. That's not including Russia. 

 

I don't think these legs are unrealistic or even optimistic.
