The projected box office earnings are in for the upcoming “Avengers” movie, and everybody involved in the project should be pretty pumped with the numbers.
The Disney-Marvel project is expected to score big when it finally hits theaters this summer. According to the Hollywood Reporter, opening weekend is supposed to fetch well over $225 million, with some experts even saying it could beat out Disneys “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which opened at $248 million.
As it stands currently, “Avengers” holds the record for biggest superhero open at $207.4 million. “Black Panther” opened right behind it at around $202 million. (RELATED: THERES A NEW DEADPOOL 2 TRAILER OUT, AND IT LOOKS DOWNRIGHT ELECTRIC)
The “Avengers” massive projected earnings can at least partly be attributed to its star studded cast. It will feature Robert Downey Jr. as Ironman, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow.
The highest grossing movie to date has been Disneys “Force Awakens,” which fetched a whopping $936.7 million. If “Avengers” gets anywhere close to that, you can bet itll be another huge win for Disney and its Marvel partnership.
“Avengers: Infinity War” hits theaters Friday, April 27.
