Surely, the last thing on Marvel enthusiasts' minds right now is next month’s release of Deadpool 2. With Avengers: Infinity War mania having just gotten underway last night - it’s off to a flying start, in case you’ve been living under a rock - the fandom hasn't even had time to process “certain events” that take place within said film, let alone get all geared up for another Marvel movie.

I think it’s safe to assume that a significant portion of the Marvel fandom has yet to feast their eyes upon Avengers: Infinity War. Granted, hauling in $39 million on opening night was a great start, an MCU record in fact, but we can all agree, there’s plenty more where that came from.
Should current projections hold, which place the Anthony and Joe Russo-directed blockbuster at $45 million for Thursday, Avengers: Infinity War will easily become Marvel’s best one night total, ousting Age of Ultron ($27.6M).
