April joins February 2018 as another record month at the box office with calendar grosses topping $1 billion for the first time ever, improving on 2017’s record grosses by nearly $210 million.
The result was due, in large part, to the massive opening success of Avengers: Infinity War which made up 27.7% of the month’s overall gross despite being in theaters for only four days in April.
As a result, Disney dominated the month with $336.6 million from just five films as the studio continues its record pace, generating over $1.2 billion in box office revenue over the first four months of 2018.
Led by $282.4 million from Avengers: Infinity War after just four days in release, Disney delivered $336.6 million in April, pushing the studio’s yearly total to $1.2 billion in the first four months of the year.
On April 27, Disney became the fastest studio to reach $1 billion domestically, doing so in just 117 days, besting their previous record set in 2016 by 11 days.
