'Avengers: Infinity War' is already the highest grossing superhero movie in history

In its third week on display, 'Avengers: Infinity War' continues its triumphant career and comfortably maintains the dominance of boxoffice , something encouraged, in addition to its obvious potential, the absence of strong releases.

After improving the 459 million " Avengers: The Age of Ultron ", it is expected to become the most successful installment of the franchise, once it exceeds the 623 million raised by the first film in 2012. In turn, fight also to unseat ' Black Panther ' (694 million) as the highest grossing film so far this year , a task that should also be feasible considering that it had raised 501 million in its first three weeks, compared to the 547 has achieved ' Avengers: Infinity War ' in the same period of time.

Worldwide, the data is even more epic. The film broke this weekend in the Chinese market , one of the most powerful for the industry of superheroes, with a spectacular 75 million dollars earned in a single day.

On the other hand, ' Life of the Party ', comedy with Melissa McCarthy as headliner, debuts second with an estimated initial collection of 18.5 million dollars, at the same time as the 20 that pointed the forecasts and in the line of the 23.5 million, the previous comedy starring the performer and with which it would be appropriate to establish a comparison, by similarity of theme, image and commercial aspirations that go in the same line. That one collapsed a soaked 57% in its second assault, and, after a brief trajectory in the rooms, it concluded with acceptable 63,2 millions, behavior similar to the one that more or less is expected of this new bet.

Continuing with the Afdah news, the thriller ' Breaking In ' also meets the forecasts with an opening of 16.5 million dollars , close to the 18 million that were expected. The film tells of a woman's struggle to protect her children when they are kidnapped as hostages, and precisely in the launching of such a motherly story on Mother's Day weekend was one of her strengths, just as It has been stressed in its promotion. Right now its ceiling could be around 55 million, which, without being anything out of the ordinary, is not bad given that it is not a very ambitious production and has not too familiar faces in its cast.

Meanwhile, the comedy ' Overboard ' suffers on its second day a slight 31%, partly because it saw increased the number of screens on display. The film adds 10.1 million dollars to a total of 29.5 million, a very good figure assessing that its budget has been only 12 million dollars, and still has the international exploitation to be profitable.

' A quiet place ' remains stoic in the top 5 with a soft fall of 17.6%, which is even more worthwhile considering that it has been on the bill for five weeks. The film raises 6.4 million dollars, which add to a magnificent accumulated 169.5 million, ranking as the third highest grossing film so far this year and one of the great sensations of the season. The film starring Emily Blunt is now the fourth highest grossing horror film in US history , surpassed only by two classics of the genre such as ' The Exorcist ' (232 million) and ' The Sixth Sense ' (293 million) and by the recent 'It' phenomenon (327 million).

The aforementioned Marvel film accumulates thirteen consecutive weeks in the top 10, something that so far have only achieved five titles in the last fifteen years.

'Deadpool 2' will end the reign of the Avengers

The film surprised in 2016 with a spectacular data of opening of 132 million dollars that ended up rising to a whopping 363 at the end of its commercial career in the domestic box office, hence the expectations are very high. Taking into account also the excellent moment that crosses the sort, an initial number below the 100 million dollars would be disappointing .

Finally, among the rest of the news that will arrive next week, include ' Book Club ' , comedy of adult and female court starring Diane Keaton and Jane Fonda . The film does not aspire to reach the stratospheric figures of the Marvel film but the powerfulness of its casting should allow it to draw the attention of the usual audience niche to this class of films.
