‘Infinity War’ record opening revised to $257.7M
“Avengers: Infinity War” was even bigger than previously estimated.
The Walt Disney Co. on Monday reported final weekend numbers for the superhero smash at $257.7 million in U.S. and Canadian theaters, further boosting the film’s record-breaking opening weekend.
The revised figure was due to unexpectedly strong Sunday ticket sales, Disney said. The Marvel blockbuster grossed $69.2 million on Sunday, besting the record held by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” by more than $8 million.
Disney had forecast a $250 million debut, which topped the $248 million record set by “The Force Awakens” in 2015. Accounting for inflation, “The Force Awakens” would still narrowly edge “Infinity War” by a few million.
Marvel now holds six of the top 10 opening weekends of all time, with Disney accounting for nine of the 10. “Infinity War” also set a new global opening weekend record with ticket sales exceeding $630 million worldwide.

Breakout Artist Meli Foster-Turner Makes Every Song Count On unfinished conversations
Some EPs leave the feeling that another track or two might have helped complete the picture. unfinished conversations has the opposite effect. By the time it reaches the closing moments, it feels as though every song has earned its place.
That’s partly because Meli Foster-Turner resists the temptation to overload the EP. Each idea is given enough space to develop before making way for the next, creating a natural flow that keeps the listening experience moving without feeling rushed.
The project also benefits from its consistency. Whether the mood shifts towards reflection or quiet confidence, the songwriting keeps the same sense of focus throughout, giving the EP its own character without needing dramatic changes in style or pace.
It’s a release that rewards being heard in one sitting. The running order feels carefully considered, and the closing track lands with the sense that the journey has reached exactly the right point.
Sometimes the measure of an EP isn’t how much it tries to say, but how well it uses the time it has. unfinished conversations gets that balance exactly right. Have a listen for yourselves right now courtesy of Now Listen:
