null

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a box office smash, but some more than others. Here's every movie ranked by their opening weekend domestic box office, including the reigning champion "Avengers: Infinity War."

Millions of people turned out for Marvel's latest film, "Avengers: Infinity War," over the weekend.

The film broke the opening weekend box-office record, beating the opening of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" with $258 million. It also broke the Sunday box-office record with $69.2 million.

It's the latest successful entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In February, "Black Panther" also broke records, becoming the highest February opening of all time, and (until now) the highest four-day gross for a MCU movie.

But even that four-day weekend couldn't topple "Infinity War."

By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy.
