How did the worldwide total split?
Box Office Mojo records the final worldwide total at $1,338,073,645 in its title page. Domestic earnings were $636,745,858, or 47.6% of the total.
International earnings were $701,327,787, or 52.4% of the total. The balance shows strong demand in both North America and overseas markets.
What box-office records did it set?
Disney reported a $444.1 million global opening, including $211 million domestic, in its box-office announcement. The company called it the largest R-rated global opening ever.
The film later passed 2019's Joker, at about $1.07 billion, to become the highest-grossing R-rated film in history. It was only the second R-rated film ever to cross $1 billion.
Where does it stand in 2024?
It was 2024's second-highest-grossing film behind Disney and Pixar's Inside Out 2, at nearly $1.7 billion. It was also the first MCU film since Spider-Man: No Way Home to exceed $1 billion.
