Avengers: Infinity War continues to shatter the box office on a global scale, and has achieved yet another milestone, in the process. As of Wednesday, May 9th, Avengers: Infinity War has officially passed The Fate of the Furious at the global box office.

With that new advancement, Avengers: Infinity War now moves into the number 13 slot on the all-time top-grossing movies of all time. Here's the full top 15 breakdown:

  1. Avatar - $2.7B
  2. Titanic - $2.1B
  3. Star Wars: The Force Awakens - $2B
  4. Jurassic World - $1.67B
  5. Marvel's The Avengers - $1.518B
  6. Furious 7 - $1.516
  7. Avengers: Age of Ultron - $1.4B
  8. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - $1.34B
  9. Black Panther - $1.339B
  10. Star Wars: The Last Jedi - $1.332B
  11. Frozen - $1.27
  12. Beauty and the Beast (2017) - $1.26B
  13. Avengers: Infinity War - $1.24B
  14. The Fate of the Furious - $1.23B
  15. Iron Man 3 - $1.21B


The key here is that Avengers: Infinity War is still on the move - in a big way. If anything, this list is fluid on a day-to-day basis, as Infinity War keeps pulling in big box office returns. The question is, will this Avengers movie reach the $2 billion mark, and be able to contend with those top three spots on the list of all-time highest grossing films.

It seems highly possible - but Marvel Studios has to do its work fast. This upcoming weekend is the last one where Infinity War will be able to easily dominate the box office. After that, Deadpool 2 comes sweeping into theaters, and will cut heavily into Marvel's business, and the sustainability of Infinity War's run.

That's the theatrical reality, but there's also more to measure. Infinity War will have a huge second run on home video, and Marvel fans are already pushing for more special edition formats to be offered. It's pretty much a chorus of people already screaming "Shut up and take my money!" and Marvel will no doubt follow suit.
