‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Nears China Box Office Record With $200 Million Opening

[F-22Raptor]

After setting new milestones in North America, Disney’s “Avengers: Infinity War” nearly broke the all-time box office record in China. Its opening weekend haul in the Middle Kingdom is in excess of $200 million.

The Marvel Comic Universe franchise title soared to $202 million, according to provisional data from Chinese researcher China Box Office at 11pm Chinese local time. Figures will be updated locally. Disney estimated a $200 million figure, which it said was the second highest in Chinese local currency terms.

“Infinity War” opened with $257 million in North America two weeks ago. The China debut points to the sixth largest single territory opening of all time, on a par with the “Black Panther” debut in North America.

In China, the “Infinity War” haul compares with the previous highest opening score of $188 million, registered earlier this year by “Monster Hunt 2.” In 2017 “The Fate of the Furious” became the fastest opening Hollywood film in China, with $184 million in three days.

But Disney reported RMB1.266 billion in local currency for “Avengers,” compared with the higher RMB1.352 billion for “Fate of the Furious.”

Data from Ent Group showed “Infinity War” playing an unprecedented 203,000 screenings on both Friday and Saturday. On Friday it earned a revised $61 million, according to Ent Group, after earning $9 million in Thursday previews and early Friday midnight screenings.

The China total included $20.5 million from 514 IMAX screens. That was the biggest ever opening weekend for IMAX in China, beating “Fate of the Furious” which earned $13.3 million.

When is this guy going to stop posting how much a movie has earned at the box office? This has become a joke. Every week we have dozens of threads on movies on a defence forum.

The funny thing here is that if this was a Chinese film the PDF Chinese brigade and their bootlickers like yourself would be claiming how it's the end of Hollywood. I remember perfectly well how the Chinese were reacting when Wolf Warrior 2 was out.

This has nothing to do with PDF being a defense forum. Your just upset a Hollywood film is dominating the globe. Your fooling no one.

If CPC decide to ban Hollywood if US trade barrier is too much. It will happened. Same as Disney Theme park and all American entertainment. US market is saturated and zero potential for growth. China is their savoir. But CPC can anytime banned it and US Corporate will lose big time

LOL I don't give a crap about Hollywood movie industry you stupid fool. Stop putting words in my mouth you stupid American twat.

This is a defence forum. Not IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes. Stop flooding this forum with your dick measuring topics.

No one gives a sh!t about how much a movie earns in a week or day.

Now that you have brought it up, the whole world has seen how Hollywood producers exploit actors and actresses for sexual favors. You are indeed a shame and an abomination to the rest. You are hardly a role model.

You must be proud of your president who has set a great example for the rest of America on how to hate and exploit women.

Since when does Hollywood need China to have success? The Last Jedi did horrible in China and still made over $1.3B. Can Hollywood find extra growth in China? Sure...but I'm sure our companies are just happy to see Chinese have such a high demand for American entertainment.

So your trying to censor perfectly legitimate threads because they make you angry?

I don't think so pal. I'll continue to post what I want and when I want. Your frustration only motivates me. Get used to it.

Hollywood movies help the Chinese economy, so there isn't much to worry about. China will use that money to make 6th gen fighter jets.
