Avengers: Infinity War Worldwide Box Office Predictions


Avengers: Infinity War Box Office Predictions

YIBAMBE! If Black Panther was 2018's cultural phenomenon, Avengers: Infinity War is a juggernaut, unlike any box office film we've ever seen. We're days away from the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and people everywhere are hype with anticipation.  All things considered, Disney has closed down one of the busiest streets in LA for Monday nights world premiere. The Russo brothers and Disney marketing team have strategically presented Infinity War as a must-see event for anyone interested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but how will Avengers: Infinity War perform at the box office?

I assume Avengers Infinity War will generate a minimum of 61% of its total gross box office overseas. 61% is average foreign gross of the Top 5 highest grossing Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. When you adjust for inflation, the top five highest-grossing MCU films include The Avengers, Black Panther, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man 3, and Captain America: Civil War. You can find the box office data for Marvel Cinematic Universe at boxofficemojo.com.

In India, Avengers: Infinity War will have the widest release of any Western film with over 2,000 theaters prepared to screen the third installation of the Avengers series. It has been reporting that Infinity War will release on over 4,200 screens with dozens of showtimes - including a 3:05am screening in New York City on Friday morning. In a strange turn of events, people a reselling movies ticket in South KoreaIt's been pointed out by Fandango that Avengers: Infinity War has generated more pre-sale tickets than the total of the last seven Marvel Cinematic Universe movies combined. (Yes, Black Panthers pre-sale record from earlier this year has already been crushed several times over.)



Tracking data, which gauges consumer interest in movies prior to release, confirms Avengers Infinity War will generate $200+ million dollars at the box office during its opening weekend. The unprecedented level of pre-sales and the sheer number of screens has set the stage for a $250 Million Dollar opening weekend. If Avengers: Infinity War has a $250 Million dollar opening weekend at the box office and performs as well as 2012's The Avengers the final domestic gross of this film would be upwards of $750 million dollars domestic. The two highest grossing MCU films, Black Panther and The Avengers generated an average of 31.5% of their total gross during their opening weekends. When adjusting for inflation, opening weekends at the box office greater than $230 Million dollars has only been achieved thrice.

All things considered, Marvel Studios has a record-breaking film on their hands. If everything checks out when the initial reviews begin making their rounds this week, Avengers: Infinity War will be one of the largest box office hauls ever. I estimate the Avengers: Infinity War will have a $249 million dollar domestic opening weekend. The worldwide appeal of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will continue and Avengers: Infinity War will generate somewhere in the ballpark of 59.75% of its box office revenue overseas. My foreign box office estimate for IW $1.045 Billion dollars. Overall I estimate Avengers: Infinity War will generate $1.795 Billion dollars at the box office. This would be a great performance for Marvel Studios, Disney and comic book movie fans everywhere.
