The super-hero, action-packed movie kicked off the summer box office season in high style pulling in $250 million in North American ticket sales and $380 million overseas for a global total of $630 million. These numbers make it the biggest worldwide debut of all time and surpass the 2015 North American record achieved by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which clocked in at $248 million.
