Avengers: Infinity War didn't quite manage to crack $2 billion at the worldwide box office this weekend but there's still plenty of good news for Marvel Studios today. However, before we get to that, here's the kicker - had the epic ensemble reached that benchmark today, it would have become the fastest release in history to do so beating Avatar and securing a record which would put it in the history books.
On the plus side, the Russo Brothers helmed release will surpass $2 billion in the next 48 hours or so and we'll find out when exactly it will have managed to do that by tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.
As of right now, Avengers: Infinity War has earned $1.3 billion internationally and $654.7 million domestically for a $1.99 billion global cume. When the Marvel movie hits $2 billion, it will become only the fourth release ever to do that which is an incredible feat and one which cements the MCU as the franchise to beat. It will be interesting next year seeing whether Avengers 4 manages to do the same.
