Following on from our report last week, Avengers: Infinity War is now officially holder of the second biggest opening weekend box office in Australian cinema history, narrowly losing the top slot to – hardly a surprise here – Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Infinity War clocked up $21,239,893 over the weekend for a cumulative take of $29,941,015, putting it ahead of The Last Jedi.
