'Avengers: Infinity War' Marching Toward $600M Profit; How The Russo Brothers Mapped Out The Marvel Hit

While Disney does not disclose or comment on the profitability of its films, our financial analysts figure that Infinity War by the end of its run stands to make close to $600M in profit after all ancillaries based off a final global gross of $1.88 billion.

Marvel will make $1bil+ in profit from 2 movies alone, they had BP doing $450m+ in profit some weeks back.

Cue the music:

They better give out some bonuses to those VFX guys, the credits were almost as long as the movie it self.

It's a feat that won't be repeated easily if ever, deserves all the success and more.

Is there any word on whether Joss Whedon will direct another MCU movie?
I feel like if he wanted to do something non-Avengers it'd absolutely be Guardians of the Galaxy (Whedon's clearly still got a bunch of unfinished business with the space pirates/space assholes thing after Titan A.E./Alien Resurrection/Firefly) but those are pretty firmly held by James Gunn and not going to anyone else anytime soon.

Thanks to Hollywood's creative accounting, the movie will never show a profit on paper.

All kinds of crazy.

Imagine how much money this would be making if it didn't have Deadpool 2 and Solo coming to slow it down/attempt to get the gauntlet off of Marvel's hand.

As odd as it is that we're celebrating a multi-billion dollar conglomerate making a lot of money, congrats to the Russos for meeting the exceedingly high expectations folks had for "Infinity War."

Can't wait till Disney uses this money to make ORIGINAL movies not based on existing comics and franchises.

Or they'll just buy all the competition with it.

Hmm..

I remember that graph everyone posts when talking about how popular Spider-Man is. Is there an updated version where we can see where the Avengers are now? Has the likes of Iron Man surpasses Bats and Supes?

Well technically everything we love now is problematic in some way...so congrats to Disney, Marvel, and all of the players involved!

There are thousands of movies that come out each year that are completely new, why can't we have both?

How much did Force Awakens make in profit?


I just noticed that this projection is WAY too conservative:

Infinity War is going far and beyond $600m DOM, $1B OS and $275m China. Some conservative numbers here:

$700m Dom
$1.1B OS
$350m China

So... $2.15 billions for The Avengers: Infinity War, so a profit of at the very least 875m for Infinity War, and that's a very conservative estimate. HOLY SHIT.
