Why Has 'Avengers: Infinity War' Done So Well At The Box Office?

Simple. Because it is awesome.

Why Has 'Avengers: Infinity War' Done So Well At The Box Office?
@marvel Instagram

I remember when I was nine years old, there was this movie that came out that I loved to pieces. I bought and read the novelization of the movie, even though I wasn’t a huge reader then. I even went as the main character that year for Halloween in 2008. That year was the year of Iron Man for me and my Marvel fever has not died down since then.

For a little under 10 years, my life has been blessed with 19 revolutionary movies that all take place in one world. For half of my short life, I’ve been going to theaters, sitting with my popcorn, and watching a new Marvel movie at least once a year, sometimes even twice. These movies have been a staple of my teenage years, and I think that’s why I love them so much.

I think that this love is a big part of the reason why Avengers: Infinity War did record shatteringly well at the box office. For a lot of people my age and younger, most of their lives have been dominated by Marvel mania, and that long-term connection to characters like Iron Man or Captain America makes this movie all the more important to see.

Another reason that Avengers and the MCU, in general, has done so well is the variety of audiences that it reaches. From the coming of age story in Spiderman to the cultural impact of Black Panther, the MCU has reached out so many different people of all walks of life, bringing all of these beloved characters together in Infinity War. The love and reverence that Marvel fans show these movies brought so many into the audience, and more because of the cultural impact that this movie has had.

Because Infinity War was the fastest movie ever to earn 1 billion dollars in the box office, and one of the first ever to target 2 billion, people have flocked to see this movie as soon as possible, before the spoilers take over Twitter and ruin the movie for them.

That’s what I believe is the reason that Avengers: Infinity War has done so well. It’s a record-breaking movie and for no other reason than that it is record-breaking, it will continue growing and growing.

And on another note, Marvel recently lent Thanos as a character to Fortnite Battle Royale for a limited time Infinity Gauntlet game mode. These two companies are both incredibly popular right now, and combining the two is unprecedented. Hopefully, I can resist playing this new game mode long enough to study for finals!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
