Avengers: Infinity War Dominated the Worldwide Box Office with $1 Billion in Just 11 Days!

Millions of Marvel fans all over the world rushed to cinemas for the past two weeks to finally watch the highly anticipated, critically acclaimed movie of the year, The Avengers: Infinity War. The latest movie of the film franchise was said to be the grand reunion of Marvel’s iconic superheroes like Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Black Widow, Black Panther, Spider-Man, and other brilliant characters.

These superheroes combined their forces altogether to defeat the greatest threat in the Universe, Thanos, the mad Titan. And it seems the fan’s 10 years of long waiting had finally come to an end, and their endless patience was paid off by how awesome the movie was!

The Record-breaking, Blockbuster Film

Disney’s latest movie had crossed the $1 billion mark in box office worldwide as of last Saturday, marking its 11th day since its release date. Not only did it smash several records worldwide, but it also became the first film to gain an astounding profit that fast in history!

All cinemas all over the world were jam-packed since the movie’s release last April 23, 2018

The fans couldn’t help but watch the movie twice or thrice because of how good the story plot is, its awesome cast, the breathtaking and mind-numbing twists that left our hearts broken into pieces. In fact, most of them claimed they entered the movie theater excited, but they exited it dumbfounded. The said film also broke the previous record held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens film last 2015. Currently, the Infinity War is the Disney’s 17th and Marvel’s 6th film to hit the billion mark in just a short period of time.

Last weekend, Infinity War also broke the record of holding the biggest global and domestic opening in film history. It also broke the records of other book hits like Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Guardians of the Galaxy, Justice League, Wonder Woman, and X-Men: Days of Future Past. It is expected that A: IW’s success will continue to surge since the film was also released in China last May 11. The Chinese market will surely contribute to the film’s increasing global audience and gross net worldwide.

Critical Acclaims and Praises

Marvel fans are also delighted to see their long wait and money were worth it since the movie surpassed their expectations. In fact, the famous movie review website, Rotten Tomatoes, gave a high 84% (or 7.4/10) overall approval rating based on its 320 reviewers. Metacritic, on the other hand, gave an overall average of 68/100, which equates to “generally favorable reviews” based on the site’s ranking system.

Avengers: Infinity War also garnered nothing but positive reviews and phrases from the Press and the public

Meanwhile, the Hollywood Reporter Todd McCarthy praised the director and writer’s ability to balance the large cast of characters and give them an appropriate role and spotlight in the show without them outshining the others.

The Variety reporter, Owen Gleiberman hails the IW as a brashly entertaining movie. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone also praised the Russo brothers for putting an explosive film full of action, humor, and fun. While the Chicago Sun-Times reporter Richard Roeper hailed the film as the Marvel’s most ambitious movie yet, he also begged to disagree that it was the best film the Marvel had produced so far.
