Avengers: Infinity War has crossed the $800 million mark in worldwide box office receipts, CNET has confirmed with Disney.  $808 million, to be specific.

After a record-breaking opening weekend in the United States -- destroying even Star Wars: The Force Awakens there by $10 million -- Infinity War is on track to hunt down TFA's $2B global run. And it's poised to easily beat Black Panther, which has made $1.3B globally to date. (Black Panther took a week to cross $500 million at the global box office.) 

Avengers: Infinity War earned $65 million overseas, giving it $505m overseas and $808m worldwide. That puts it on a path to possibly top $900m tomorrow and $1 billion as early as Friday. If it pulls that off, and this Friday marks the film’s opening day in Russia, it’ll have passed the magic milestone on day ten of release, two days faster than Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Beyond that, it’s just a matter how high it climbs before it opens in China a week from Friday. Age of Ultron snagged $240 million in China three years ago. It’s no guarantee that Infinity War will do likewise (or better), but I think it’s safe to say that this third Avengers movie should flirt with at least the $190m that Civil War pulled in two years ago. Does this mean it’s time to talk about the possibility of Infinity War topping Avatar in North America or $2 billion worldwide? Not quite, as it may well just play like a “normal” movie, especially after Deadpool 2 opens, and end up with “just” over/under $705m.

After all, Disney must eventually start concentrating on Solo: A Star Wars Story which screens for press in LA right as Avengers: Infinity War opens in China. That $705 million guestimate would be just over/under the inflation-adjusted domestic total of The Avengers ($623 million in 2012/$706m adjusted). But for now, it’s a matter of how much it can earn, especially with an extra week of “summer play” before the rest of the competition shows up. But it’s hard to look at these figures and not presume that the Avengers are heading to infinity… and beyond.
