Walt Disney’s Avengers: Infinity War earned another $28.7 million (-53%) on its fourth weekend, bringing its 24-day domestic total to $595m. The MCU epic should cross the $600m domestic milestone sometime this week, perhaps as early as Wednesday. That would be its 27th day of release, still right between The Force Awakens (12 days) and Black Panther (31 days). Speaking of which, its fourth weekend was just barely above Black Panther’s $26m fifth weekend. So, yes, Avengers: Infinity War’s domestic total will eventually start trailing Black Panther’s. At this juncture, it’s still looking like Infinity War will end its domestic run with over/under $655m.
I expect Disney to go the extra mile to get it over Titanic’s $659m domestic cume to put it in fourth place on the all-time domestic charts. But it’s still doing blow-out business overseas, earning another $84.4m outside of North America, including $53.7m (-75%) in its second weekend in China. It has earned $302m there already, becoming the fourth-biggest Hollywood grosser in the world’s biggest moviegoing marketplace. It sits behind only Transformers: Age of Extinction ($320m in 2014) and the last two Fast and Furious movies ($391m in 2015 and $392m in 2017). Oh, and it’s the second movie, after Furious 7, to earn $300m in two different territories.
The MCU flick has earned $1.218 billion overseas, pushing it past Furious 7 ($1.163b) to become the third-biggest overseas earner of all time, behind Titanic ($1.5b) and Avatar ($2b). And with $1.814b worldwide, it is the fourth-biggest global grosser, behind (for now) Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.068b), Titanic ($2.1b) and Avatar ($2.78b). Yes, it’s still on track to top $2b worldwide by the end of its run, but the global cume of Titanic (counting the reissues) is still likely a bridge-too-far.

Yeah, that’s true. I like that Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool does all the callbacks/4th wall breaks, and calls him out on it. It’s entertaining, but not sure how well it will age.
Meaning, in 3 or 4 years, will it be as “cute”, and will people with their microwave short attention spans “get it”?
I don't, myself, but some people seem to.
Star Lord is asked who his master is and he says something along the lines of ‘am I supposed to say Jesus?’ Don’t know how you missed it. Several Christian movie sites caught it.
Yeah, I remember it now. I didn’t take it as a slight, or an insult.
