Marvel Studios’ most colossal film yet has made history books by becoming the fastest movie to cross the US$1 billion mark in global box office sales this weekend. Disney confirmed the film posted an estimated $275 million in movie ticket sales around the world for its second weekend in theatres. This puts the total global ticket sales at $1.16 billion. The film has now bested 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, which earned $1.15 billion. It also recently broke another Disney franchise’s record. It earned $250 million in the US on its opening weekend, besting the $248 million opening weekend record of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
