  • Disney reports the official weekend numbers for the movie at $258.2 million.
  • That includes a record-breaking $69.2 million Sunday take.


Things just keep getting better for “Avengers: Infinity War.”

After Disney released estimates on Sunday that its latest movie from Marvel Studios took in $250 million to become the biggest opening weekend movie of all time domestically, it looks like the studio was being modest.

Final numbers posted on Monday indicate that the movie took in $258.2 million, according to boxofficepro.com. It was helped by a record-breaking Sunday take of $69.2 million.

And with the movie taking in $382.7 million overseas, its global weekend opening is at an astounding $640.9 million.

The Sunday performance by “Infinity War” domestically tops the previous record holder, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which had $60.5 million.
