'Infinity War' easily repeats as weekend box office champ and is the fastest movie ever to hit $1 billion worldwide
- "Avengers: Infinity War" earns $112.47 million over the weekend to win the box office for a second-straight weekend.
- Over the weekend the movie became the fastest ever to $1 billion worldwide.
"Avengers: Infinity War" continued its dominance at the box office in its second weekend.
The latest juggernaut from Disney/Marvel studios took in an estimated $112.47 million over the weekend, according to boxofficepro.com, on over 4,400 screens.
The movie won the domestic weekend box office for a second-straight weekend and now has a domestic total of $450.8 million.
And on Saturday night, the movie hit the $1 billion mark worldwide. That makes it the fastest movie ever to hit that coveted milestone.
Domestically, the movie's $112.47 million take is the second-best second weekend ever, passing the $111.6 million second weekend by "Black Panther." "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" still owns the top second weekend spot with $149.2 million.
MGM/Lionsgate's "Overboard," a reboot of the 1987 Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell comedy starring Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez, took in a respectable $14.75 million to come in second place. For a movie made for around $12 million that's a good start.
"Tully," Jason Reitman's latest collaboration with "Juno" screenwriter Diablo Cody and "Young Adult" star Charlize Theron, took in $3.1 million.
That's a little below industry opening weekend projections, but this is a movie that can possibly find success going forward with its strong Rotten Tomatoes score and continued word of mouth.
