VIDEO : Avengers: Infinity War Opened With Over $640 Million

We expected Avengers: Infinity War to break records in its first weekend, but it still managed to over-perform. Marvel Studios moved up their nineteenth movie so that it could launch worldwide this past weekend. The move was to prevent spoilers (and there are plenty in Infinity War), but it also gave Marvel the opportunity to earn a massive amount of money in a very short amount of time. Early projections for the film assured it would gross at least $200 million during its U.S. opening weekend, and those estimates only grew higher as the movie?s premiere date drew closer.
