A film event that’s been 10 years and 18 films in the making, “Avengers: Infinity War,” will finally hit theaters this weekend. According to Deadline, the super-packed film debuted in 21 international markets already, raking in $39 million from the get-go. The top 5 openers were in Australia ($6.7 million), Korea ($6.5 million), France ($3.9 million), Italy ($3.9 million) and the Philippines ($2.7 million). Right now, the highest performing movie ever for an opening weekend remains “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” However, given the overseas numbers, insiders project that “Infinity War” could surpass that by Monday. This is no easy feat given that there have been 18 films that make up the franchise, with the 2012 “Avengers” and 2018’s “Black Panther” among some of the highest-grossing films ever.
