With two weeks to go before it opens, "Avengers: Infinity War" is selling twice as many tickets as "Black Panther" did at this point. It's also outselling the last seven Marvel movies COMBINED. And that includes "Black Panther".
Those seven are "Black Panther", "Thor: Ragnarok", "Spider-Man: Homecoming", "Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2", "Doctor Strange", "Captain America: Civil War", and "Ant-Man".
Of course, basically every character from all those movies is IN the new "Avengers" . . . so they're kind of helping it overtake their own films.
"Infinity War" is expected to surpass $200 million in its opening weekend. Only five movies have done that so far: "Black Panther", the original "Avengers", "Jurassic World", and the new "Star Wars" flicks, "The Last Jedi" and "The Force Awakens".
"Black Panther" is currently the #1 superhero movie in America, with $667 million. But it sounds like that record may not hold.
Here's the official trailer for "Infinity War"
