Infinity War is also flexing its might internationally, raking in “$95 million in its first two days in international release from 43 markets led by South Korea with $11.4 million.” Studio expectations have the movie pegged for a $210 million opening weekend, which would make it the highest grossing opening weekend MCU offering and the fourth-highest of all time behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Jurassic World.
