Surpassed 2 MCU biggies & is set to beat the 3rd one, The Fantastic 4: First Steps, this weekend
Based on the report by Box Office Mojo, Infinity Castle surpassed many Hollywood biggies at the worldwide box office. It has beaten Thunderbolts* and Captain America: Brave New World earlier and has its eyes set on The Fantastic Four: First Steps. For the record, Thunderbolts* collected $382.43 million and Captain America: Brave New World raked in $415.1 million in their worldwide runs.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is less than $10 million away from the worldwide haul of The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
