While Avengers: Infinity War is already a genuine box office hit, crossing the $1 billion mark faster than any film in history last weekend, it's getting another big push from its final international market, China. Avengers: Infinity War has pulled in a whopping $76 million from its first day, accounting for an astronomical 96% of all Chinese box office revenue. That figure alone also represents half of Marvel's biggest opening weekend ever in China, $155.7 million, held by 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron.

By 10 PM on Friday in China, according to Ent Group, Avengers: Infinity War earned approximately $66 million in its first full day, and combined with an estimated $9.3 million from Thursday screenings, its opening day comes in close to $76 million, but no final numbers from Thursday or Friday have been released yet. This huge opening day likely means it will surpass the $155.7 million from Avengers: Age of Ultron for the biggest Chinese opening weekend in Marvel history, which also stands as the fourth highest opening weekend in Chinese history. It's possible that Avengers: Infinity War could have a historic opening weekend in China when all is said and done.

The top three opening weekends in Chinese history are 2015's Furious 7 ($182.4 million), last year's The Fate of the Furious ($184.9 million) and this year's local blockbuster Monster Hunt 2 ($187.9 million), and with this massive opening day, it's possible that Avengers: Infinity War can give these movies a run for their money. Just with this single-day total alone, Avengers: Infinity War has become the 15th highest grossing movie of the year in China, just behind the Hollywood blockbuster Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which earned $77.9 million during its entire box office run in the country.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise is already the biggest foreign movie franchise of all time in China, with a combined gross of $1.12 billion. It's far ahead of the $913 million of the Fast & Furious franchise in second place, and the $834 million of the Transformers franchise in third place. A huge opening weekend in China will only help solidify this stance even further. It also has a good chance to replace Ready Player One as the top Hollywood movie in China this year, with the Steven Spielberg adaptation pulling in $217.5 million thus far, the fourth highest-grossing movie of the year so far behind local blockbusters Monster Hunt 2 ($356.3 million), Detective Chinatown 2 ($541.4 million) and Operation Red Sea ($575.8 million).

As of now, Avengers: Infinity War is the second highest grossing movie of the year both at the domestic box office ($479.1 million, behind Black Panther's $694 million) and worldwide box office ($1.268 billion), behind Black Panther's $1.339 billion. Avengers: Infinity War heads into its third weekend domestically, going up against the Universal thriller Breaking In and the New Line comedy Life of the Party.
